Custom Trophies
We create unique custom trophies for special occasions, offering both ready-made and commissioned designs. Our collection ranges from $100 value awards to luxury pieces exceeding $1,000. Each trophy supports personalized engraving on its base, with options for perpetual awards and corporate recognition pieces. Our distinctive designs ensure recipients proudly display these timeless works of art in homes and offices.
Laser Engraving
Our laser engraving services handle most non-reflective surfaces with high-quality results. This technology allows custom Perspex shapes and precise reproduction of designs through graphics software integration. We use this for trophy cups, medallions, commemorative plaques, and industrial signage applications requiring exact specifications and durable markings.
Sublimation Printing
We offer sublimation printing on various surfaces including aluminum sheets, mugs, and tiles. This process transfers full-color artwork, photographs, and logos onto products using heat application. Our capabilities include creating donor walls, decorative murals, and promotional items with vibrant, lasting colors that enhance both home and office environments.
Corporate Awards
Our corporate awards program features crystal, etched glass, and wooden desk accessories for employee recognition. We create pieces honoring sales performance, longevity, and achievement milestones. Materials include oak, cherry, marble, and brass with premium piano finishes available. Each award combines functionality with artistic design to celebrate professional accomplishments effectively.
Custom Engraving
We provide traditional and machine engraving services for jewelry, industrial panels, and commemorative items. Our rotary engraving handles materials like teak, walnut, and granite while diamond engraving offers precision on delicate surfaces. This service accommodates both personal keepsakes and commercial requirements with attention to detail and lasting quality.

Dropping the ball award. 2 weeks of contact and i got nothing... never got back with me.. i realize you're busy but you could simply tell people you can't receive any more orders so we can go down the road for our organization's awards.

We came into Sarasota Awards about 2 weeks ago to order two big trophies for our Agent of the Year Awards for both our mobile home sales company and real estate group. They went above and beyond to help us and not only did they give me both awards on time and in perfect condition. They also added a last minute plaque to the order less then 24 hours before pick up and got it done for us! We will definitely be using them every year for our ceremonies. Thanks again so much from Integrity Mobile Home Sales and Red Door Real Estate Group!
