Description
Design and Materials
The Penta Star award is made of optical crystal, a material chosen for its clarity and brilliance. The classic five-point star shape features sharp lines that direct the eye toward the center, where a name or message can be deep etched into the crystal. The black glass base provides a stable, contrasting foundation that enhances the crystal's transparency.
Personalization
Deep etching carves your message into the crystal surface, creating a recessed mark with a tactile texture. This method holds bold artwork and clean lettering with strong definition, making it ideal for names, dates, or short messages. The etched area becomes a permanent part of the award, ensuring lasting legibility.
Presentation
This award is designed for display, with a size range that suits desks, shelves, or mantels. The combination of optical crystal and black glass gives it a polished, professional appearance appropriate for formal recognition settings.
Decoration & Imprint
1 method
Your message is deep etched into the front face of the crystal star, carved below the surface for a permanent, tactile mark. This method is best for bold logos and lettering where a deep, recessed mark with lasting contrast is desired.
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.

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.
