Just finished these awards for the U.S Green Building Council, Northern California Chapter. Made from recovered Pine beetle wood (denim pine, beetle kill wood). Modern eco awards!
eco paperweights - new modern design!
Introducing our new bamboo paperweights. These are handcrafted from eco friendly bamboo and come in two-tone (as pictured), solid caramel or solid natural. They are the prefect corporate gifts or just a small thank you for someone special. We can print in full colour on these as well with our UV flatbed printer. So you can be assured we can match your corporate colour palette (PMS or CMYK). White and gloss inks too.
Corporate gifts do not need to be boring like the old fashioned glass or crystal 'doorstops'. Give a unique and modern gift instead. Or contact us about creating something custom. As well as awards and trophies, we specialise in corporate gifts.
40 under 40 - pittsburgh USA
This is a new design for us and it has been so popular! We handcraft these from recovered Pine Beetle Wood (Denim Pine, Beetle Kill Wood, Blue Pine) here in British Columbia, Canada. We can make these from any wood species and work with a local supplier that has a vast range of different recovered woods for us to use. They are usually reclaimed floor joists that we buy, mill down and finish ourselves.
recovered trophies - osb
We had the unique opportunity to source some discarded materials from a construction site. The material that was being thrown away is typically used for wall cladding; OSB. We took the material, cleaned it up, laminated it and then cut it into shape. With our in-house full colour UV flatbed printer, we applied the graphics directly to the material. While this aesthetic is not suitable for our corporate events, it did suit the X-Fit theme well. Tough, rugged and strong.
global green USA - sustainability awards
This years Global Green USA Millennium Awards were designed and handcrafted by Australian-born Industrial Designer, Andrew Watson. The concept for the awards was inspired by the earth and the beauty of natural flowing lines that can be seen everywhere in nature.
The materials used in the creation of the Global Green USA Millennium Awards were recovered Pine Beetle Wood and reclaimed anodised aluminium.
The wood was sourced from infected forests here in North America, that have been devastated by pine beetles. The wood was then cut, sanded and finished with a natural oil that is the same as what is used on kitchen cutting boards and salad bowls.
The aluminium parts were reclaimed from offcuts in Andrew’s workshop and were carefully cut individually from sheets of aluminium that were due to be recycled.

more custom eco awards
Mmmmmm ribs. We think these custom eco awards / trophies for the PNE RibFest competition turned out really well. The have been handcrafted from sustainably sourced (FSC wood supplier) Douglas Fir and printed in full colour on all four sides.
Our UV flatbed printer can print full colour on any of our awards. This is a unique machine that is technically more advanced and versatile than old fashioned engraving machines (etching only). With full colour capabilities you can be assured to receive only the most unique custom trophies, awards and gifts.
embossed - uv clear
Looking to add a subtle detail to your awards? Perhaps a sub-graphic or something that looks like a UV spot varnish (from the print world). We have a new Roland LEF-20 that can add a clear to your awards. Any vector graphic can be printed and we can layer up the clear to make the print tactile (embossed). Ask about this unique service when ordering.
who wants tacos? we do!
Working on a few food related projects recently. Makes us hungry! Nothing like a good fish taco, Baja style!
we just love these!!!!!
We just finished these beauties! We just love these. We had the pleasure of working with an amazing, talented and creative designer at Slalom Consulting. This design was based on our 'modernity' style awards but, the designer customised our design so beautifully. It was a great pleasure bringing such a fantastic design to life.
We used our UV flatbed printer to add the graphics to the awards. We then CNC cut a 3d logo out from 1.2mm aluminium, hand folded into shape, spray painted and then affixed them to the awards.
new - abstract art awards!
Introducing our new custom abstract art awards! These abstract art awards are individually crafted and each one is completely unique. Made to a standard height of 11" (280mm), the rest of the form is crafted at random to create a unique and beautiful shape.
We specialise in creating unique and meaningful awards, trophies and gifts. We know the recipients of our products appreciate the quality and design more than other standard awards (the ones that are mass produced my machines from materials such as plastic, glass, acrylic and crystal).
the cann awards - custom design
We just sent these awards to to an event in Philadelphia USA, for our client in Georgia USA. The client had a short timeline for production and we were able to make these in under 2 weeks! The time for design, production and shipping was just under 2.5 weeks; not bad for a 100% custom design.
new design - bamboo
These are our new custom eco bamboo awards. Two-tone bamboo laminated and laser engraved. Simple, modern, timeless and eco friendly to boot!
custom acrylic awards for VW
This is our second year creating custom awards for the Volkswagen Fastivus event in California USA. This year we made them from semi-tranparent blue acrylic.
new design!
disney environmental awards
These awards for Disney (USA) were handcrafted from recovered Pine Beetle Wood (denim pine / blue pine) for their environmental awards program. Another great example of our 'Classic' award design being customised for our clients specific requests.
wilson - major league baseball trophies
We were honoured this year to create a series of custom trophies for Wilson Sporting Goods. The trophies were being awarded to Major League Baseball players for the Defensive Player of the Year awards. We created 12 of these in different colours and also custom designed a glove stand to match the trophies.
The Wilson Defensive Player of the Year trophies stand 2' (605mm) tall and 4" (101mm) square. Created from aluminium, a embossed leather winners swatch was inset into the trophy. Silk screened with white and metallic inks, these trophies are big and impressive!
gap clothing - custom awards
We were given a short timeline (2 weeks) to design and create some awards for GAP Clothing. The brief was to create something less corporate and more 'crafty'. The result was these amazing string art awards that were custom designed and handcrafted to represent the textile industry.
We used embroidery string for the centre feature and finished the inside and outside of the award in denim fabric. A tactile textile finish was contrasted against a minimal anodised aluminium finish to create a modern look.
eco perpetual awards/trophies
We can customise all of our award designs to suit any event. The design above is our 'Classic' design but, we created it in three different sizes for the clients particular needs; perpetual award ceremonies. With the largest award measuring almost 4" square (101mm), we made the other awards proportionally smaller. This particular design was created from recovered Pine Beetle Wood (denim pine) for an eco event.
This is a great example of our flexibility and ability to fulfil any client request. Most standard trophy / award shops will buy product from a catalogue with set designs and sizes. We custom design and handcraft every award ourselves so, we have the capacity to create anything our clients desire.
When it comes to corporate recognition we are able to deliver the best products on the market. With original, modern and meaningful designs, our designers are able to create custom awards and trophies that make an impression and deliver on our clients specific communication goals.
x-prize - perpetual trophy
We have just completed this amazing new perpetual trophy for the X-Prize Foundation. The trophy was made for the Visioneering event held in California, USA. The design was a collaboration between the X-Prize Foundation and Andrew Watson Design. This custom perpetual trophy stands over 2 feet tall and is made with 9 layers to create a dimensional form.
