Description
Craft and Presence
The Blaisdale Award is crafted from optical crystal, a clear material chosen for its brilliance and clarity. Its oval shape and substantial 13 lb weight give it a stately presence that suits formal recognition events. The crystal's transparency allows for a unique decorative effect: your artwork appears suspended inside the award, creating a dimensional visual that stands out.
Decoration Options
Your logo or message can be rendered in two ways. Laser 3D subsurface engraving builds a layered image inside the crystal, leaving the outer surfaces smooth. Laser deep etch carves a recessed mark into the surface itself, offering a tactile, permanent imprint. Both methods are pigment-free, relying on the crystal's clarity for contrast.
Recognition Fit
This award is suited for honoring individuals in professional settings. Its classic design and clear material make it a fitting choice for formal ceremonies where a lasting keepsake is desired.

Decoration & Imprint
2 methods
Your artwork is placed on the front face of the award, either as a deep etched mark on the surface or as a 3D image suspended inside the crystal. For bold logos and lettering, deep etch provides a tactile, recessed mark. For layered, dimensional artwork, 3D subsurface engraving creates a floating image inside the material.
Laser — Deep Etchno setup charge
Deep etching carves your design well into the surface, removing material to leave a recessed, permanent mark. Running deeper than a standard laser pass, the result is strongly dimensional and contoured. The finished mark is the material itself — bare carved tone with crisp shadowed contrast where the cut catches light against the untouched surface. You get a mark you can both see and feel, reading as permanent and material rather than printed on.
Laser — 3D Subsurfaceno setup charge
3D laser engraving focuses laser pulses to precise depths inside a clear, hard substrate, creating tiny internal fracture points that together build a layered, dimensional image beneath the surface. The design appears to float within the material while the outer faces stay smooth and unmarked. It reads as a frosted, light-catching form with genuine front-to-back depth, holds fine internal detail, and, because the marks are enclosed within the substrate, resists surface wear.

From our decoration and product guides
- What does laser engraving look like on a promotional product?
- Laser engraving uses a focused beam to etch the design directly into the surface, leaving a permanent, recessed mark with clean, sharp edges. There is no ink: the mark reads in the material's own tone, a lighter shade on metal and a darker burn on wood, with a depth you can feel. It resists fading, wear and scratching because nothing sits on top of the surface. More about Laser →
- Can laser engraving be done in my brand color?
- No. Engraving carries no added color and shows only the substrate's own tone, so a design that depends on brand colors, color contrast, gradients or photographic detail is a poor fit. It is the right choice for single-tone logos, fine line work and small text where a permanent, dimensional mark matters more than color. For printed spot color choose pad print or screen print.

- How does rush production work at Promotion Pros?
- Your deadline is the production clock. When you order rush, the countdown starts the moment you check out with print-ready artwork, not after a digital proof is approved. Most suppliers will not start the clock until a proof is signed off, which quietly adds days to a fast-turn promise; a rush order goes to production immediately, so the turnaround you pick is the turnaround you get.
