Description
Crystal Craftsmanship
The Westby Wedge is a wedge-shaped award crafted from optical crystal, a material chosen for its clarity and light-refracting properties. The rectangular wedge form offers a modern silhouette that stands out on a desk or shelf, making it a fitting tribute for employee recognition and service milestones.
Personalized Recognition
This award is designed to be personalized with deep etch imprinting, which carves your company logo, recipient name, and a brief message directly into the crystal surface. The recessed mark provides lasting contrast and a tactile feel, ensuring your recognition is both elegant and enduring.
Versatile Sizing
Available in 6, 8, and 10 inch sizes, the Westby Wedge can be selected to match the significance of the occasion. Whether for a retirement tribute or a service milestone, the size options allow you to tailor the award to the recipient and the achievement.
Decoration & Imprint
3 methods
Your logo and message are deep etched into the front face of the crystal wedge, creating a recessed mark with bold contrast and a tactile texture. For full-color artwork, Illumachrome heat transfer prints a photographic image directly into the crystal, while 3D subsurface laser engraving forms a dimensional image inside the material. Choose deep etch for bold, clean logos and lettering, Illumachrome for photographic detail, or 3D subsurface for a floating dimensional effect.
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.
Heat Transfer — IllumachromeFull-color imprint · 1 location included · no setup charge
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.
Laser — 3D Subsurface1 location included · no 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. More about Laser →
- 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 →
