When custom awards and glass trophies are to be given, they usually are engraved with the recipient's name, the date of the event, and other pertinent information. Different methods are used to engrave the information on custom awards and glass trophies, and two of these are sand etching and laser engraving. Sand etching allows for deeper engraving, which makes the engraving information last longer. In addition, custom awards or glass trophies that are engraved using sand etching are easier to fill with paint, if this is needed or desired. Sand etching also provides more contrast between the engraving surface and the information that has been placed on it. Sand etching leaves no tool marks. This is something that can rarely be avoided in laser engraving. The result is a more professional, high-quality appearance. Custom awards and glass trophies that have been engraved using the sand etching method may be perceived as having more dimension than those that have been done using laser engraving. The look can actually take on the appearance of a "three-D" effect. Sand etching works on many surfaces, but is especially effective on glass. The information is clearer and easier to read, providing a more specialized look to custom awards and glass trophies. The recipient may consider the award that much more valuable or meaningful simply because the one giving it cared enough to use sand etching instead of laser engraving. Laser engraving does afford the buyer of custom awards and glass trophies more of a selection in the materials used in making the awards and trophies. However, sand etching can also be used on a variety of materials also, with comparable or even better results. Even though a very few certain materials may have to be eliminated, the fact that the beauty and detail of the engraving work will be greatly enhanced will more than make up for that. Custom awards and glass trophies are given for special reasons. They have to be earned, either through hard work or putting forth extra effort, or through a very important act. Glass trophies are a great decorative piece and for those earning custom awards, a special keepsake for a lifetime.
