Decoration & Imprint
4 methods
Your imprint is placed on the front face of the crystal award. Decoration options include Heat Transfer — Full Color for photographic artwork, Laser — Deep Etch for a recessed tactile mark, and Laser — Colorfill for etched areas filled with solid colors. For multi-color or photographic artwork, heat transfer reproduces gradients and fine detail; for a permanent etched look, deep etch or colorfill are the choices.
Heat Transfer — Full ColorPMSno setup charge · Full color
Full-color transfer heat-applies a printed film directly onto the item, bonding it as a thin, smooth surface layer. It reproduces photographic imagery, multi-color artwork, and continuous gradients — capabilities solid spot-color methods cannot match. The finished mark reads as a flat, slightly filmic layer with a subtle sheen at the surface boundary; its strength is color complexity, tonal shading, and fine detail.

Laser — Deep Etch1 location included · no 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 — ColorfillPMSno setup charge · Up to 1 color
Colorfill starts with a deep laser etch and floods the recessed artwork with solid color, producing a crisp inlaid mark. Bold logos and lettering with distinct color regions render best; the number of fill colors available depends on the specific product.

From our decoration and product guides
- What is a heat transfer imprint?
- Heat transfer prints the design in premixed spot inks onto a film, then bonds that film to the surface under heat and pressure. Each color goes down as its own solid ink, so edges stay crisp and color stays even across the mark. The result is a smooth, thin bonded layer that flexes with the material rather than ink soaked into the cloth. More about Transfer →
- Can heat transfer print photographs or gradients?
- Standard heat transfer prints spot colors as flat solids, so photographic art, gradients and tonal blends are not a fit; those need a process-color transfer, which many products list as a four-color or full-color transfer option. Very small text and hairline elements may also soften slightly at the bonded edge, while crisp lines and fine solid detail hold well. More about Transfer →
- 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 →
