When you’re recognising people who go above and beyond, the award itself should feel just as premium as the achievement. For MedSTAR, we produced a sleek glass award that balances clean, modern styling with a bold hit of colour—using a combination of laser engraving and UV printing for a finish that looks sharp from every angle.
At evright, we love projects like this because they showcase what’s possible when you pair the right material with the right production methods. If you’ve been searching for a trophy store near me and want something more elevated than a standard off-the-shelf option, this is a great example of how custom can still be simple, professional, and fast to approve.
The brief: premium recognition with brand impact
MedSTAR when they were searching for trophies in Adelaide needed a glass award that felt corporate and polished, while still putting their brand front and centre. Glass is a natural choice for this—minimal, timeless, and perfect for crisp detail.
The key goals were:
- A high-end glass plaque or crystal award that felt substantial in-hand
- Clear, readable recipient details
- A logo that pops with colour (not just etched)
- A finish that looks great under office lighting and in photos
Why we combined laser engraving and UV print
Using both methods gives you the best of both worlds.
Laser engraving: crisp, permanent detail
We laser engraved the recipient name and message into the glass for a clean, professional result. Laser engraving is ideal when you want:
- Fine detail and sharp edges
- A premium, understated look
- A finish that won’t fade or peel
- High legibility for names, dates, and award titles
This is the same approach we use across many glass plaques or crystal awards Adelaide trophies clients choose for corporate recognition and milestone awards.
UV printing: colour that stands out
To make the MedSTAR logo visually striking, we added UV print. UV printing allows full-colour branding directly onto the glass, creating that “wow” factor that’s hard to achieve with engraving alone.
UV print is perfect for:
- Brand logos and colour matching
- Strong contrast on clear materials
- A modern, high-impact look
- Awards that photograph beautifully
The result: a glass award that feels premium and minimal, but still unmistakably MedSTAR.
The finished piece: clean lines, bold branding
This award has a simple rectangular silhouette with polished edges—classic, corporate, and versatile. The engraved text keeps the recognition message elegant and readable, while the UV-printed logo adds energy and brand presence.
If you’re choosing between crystal awards and glass, this style is a great option when you want a refined look without going overly ornate.
