Description
The Forte Optic Crystal Perpetual Award is a 15 x 13.25 x 4 inch recognition piece made from nine pounds of pure optic crystal. Machine-made with no imperfections and highly polished on all planes, it carries the weight and clarity of a serious award rather than a wall plaque.
It is built to grow with a program. The Forte holds up to 13 names, and new blue crystal plaque plates slide into place as recipients are added — no screws, no glue, no complicated assembly. Each additional plate is etched with the new recipient's name and sent to you, so the award never has to leave your office for an update.
Your artwork is laser deep etched into the crystal, carving a recessed mark with bold contrast and a texture you can feel. Because the mark carries no pigment, it shows in the material's own tone — best suited to bold, clean logos and lettering.

Decoration & Imprint
3 methods
Your artwork is laser deep etched into the face of the optic crystal, and each blue crystal plaque plate is etched the same way as names are added. Deep etch carves a recessed mark with bold contrast and a texture you can feel, carrying no added color. For artwork that depends on color fidelity, standard laser etching etches into the surface for a permanent, recessed mark in the material's own tone.
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.
Laserno setup charge
Laser engraving uses a focused beam to etch your design directly into the surface, leaving a permanent, recessed mark with clean, sharp edges that hold fine lines and small text. The result carries no separate ink: it reads in the substrate's own tone — a lighter shade on metal, a darker burn on wood — with a depth you can feel and a mark that resists fading, wear, and scratching.

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.
