Description
The Butler Cube 4 1/2" Award is crafted from optical crystal, delivering a flawless, clear canvas for recognition. Its substantial 4 lb weight and clean rectangular silhouette give it a premium look and feel that suits any award program.
Personalization is versatile with three decoration methods. Deep etch creates a permanent, recessed mark with bold contrast. 3D subsurface engraving forms a dimensional image suspended inside the crystal. Illumachrome prints full-color artwork with photographic depth directly into the material.

Decoration & Imprint
3 methods
Your mark can be applied to the front face of the crystal cube. Deep etch carves a recessed mark into the surface. 3D subsurface engraving creates a dimensional image suspended inside the crystal. Illumachrome prints a full-color image directly into the crystal. For artwork with bold lines and lettering, deep etch offers lasting contrast. For layered, depth-bearing designs, 3D subsurface is the best fit. For photographic images and gradients, Illumachrome delivers fine tonal reproduction.
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.
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.
Illumachrome - 4-Color Imprintno setup charge · Full color
Illumachrome prints a full-color image directly into the crystal, fusing artwork to the surface so it becomes part of the piece rather than a coating on top. The result reads with photographic depth: fine detail, smooth gradients, and continuous tonal shading show through the clear material with no raised edge or texture to the touch. Photos, complex illustrations, and shaded logos reproduce faithfully, with brand colors simulated close to true rather than matched exactly.
