Why Are Glass Trophies Gaining Popularity These Days?

Considering the elegance and sophistication of glass, crystal and acrylic trophies prove to be the most genuine way of conveying a memento of appreciation against hard-earned achievements. Motivate your employees at the completion of a project with the glass, crystal and acrylic trophies. Neatly and precisely crafted using advanced laser engraving technology, these trophies are perfect honour bestowed at every occasion, especially at a corporate or academic event.

The, crystal, acrylic and glass trophies aesthetically look alike, yet vary from one another with intricately significant differences. Being an organizer, employer or academician, when you plan to buy these trophies, there are certain pros and cons for each material used to make these trophies, so you must consider this aspect carefully.

Acrylic Trophy Pros:

  1. Better designing: Acrylic as a material is very thin and soft with a plastic like feel, which makes it highly malleable. Hence, with a high malleability the material is rendered with the ability of relatively superior intricate designing and detailed engravings.

  2. Long lasting: The plastic like properties of acrylic, make these trophies shatterproof. If you drop these trophies off your hand, you do not need to worry, as they will survive due to the strong nature of material they are made of. Delicate handling is not a matter of concern with acrylic trophies.

  3. Cost efficient: As compared to glass and crystal trophies, acrylic trophies come with a low cost. On any occasion, especially when in need of buying in bulk, acrylic trophies are a huge money saver.

  4. Light weight: Being light in weight is one of vital properties of acrylic trophies. Also, they are low maintenance.

Acrylic Trophy Cons:

  1. Prone to scratches: Soft and malleable acrylic trophies though resistant to shatter, are undesirably resistant to scratches. However, these trophies can be very easily polished and brought back to mint condition; in another way it will still be a drawback as the polishing process will add on to your maintenance cost.

  2. Relatively less classy: Trophies are not about the price but about the honor they shower on the recipient. When looked closely, the acrylic trophy lacks both, the sophisticated feel of a glass trophy and the sparkling light refracting quality of a crystal trophy.

Glass Trophy Pros:

  1. A perfect balance between cost-efficiency, designing, weight and class: The spotless transparency of a genuine glass is without doubt, mounted at the pinnacle of sophistication. Glass trophies are neither as hard with high lead content like crystal trophies nor as light as the plastic like acrylic. Due to this feature they are flexible, light weight and cost efficient and also provide a solid classy feel.

  2. Scratch proof: Glass trophies are not as soft and malleable as acrylic trophies; hence they resist scratches over time with much efficiency. This attribute characterizes glass trophies with the benefit of easy maintenance.

Glass Trophy Cons:

  1. Delicate handling: Light weight glass trophies are extremely resistant to cracks. So they are delicate and can be damaged in a singular drop.

  2. Lacks the dazzling light refraction: Lacking in lead content and material density, glass trophies will not scatter the passing light into an array of various colors.

Crystal Trophy Pros:

  1. High ornamentation: Elementally where crystal differs from glass is in its lead content and density. Crystal trophies are a lot heavier than glass trophies and exhibit a dazzling spectrum of glittering lights through refraction. The brightness of crystal trophies makes them graceful and proud objects of display.

  2. Superior in sophistication: When compared to glass and acrylic trophies, crystal trophies are sure to win the race of sophistication.

  3. Hard in nature: Crystal trophies are also the hard in nature and scratchproof.  They are also not as delicate as glass trophies. However, on intense impact, crystal trophies are prone to cracks as well.

Crystal Trophy Cons:

  1. Expensive: Because of their visual splendors they come with a high cost. But, if you are on a tight budget, and in need of a bulk buy, then crystal trophies probably are not the deal option.

  2. Relatively less detailed engraving: The tough crystals with an advanced laser technology can be cut with fineness and art, but too intricate and detailed engravings like on an acrylic trophy might turn out to be an issue.

Irrespective of specific differences between acrylic, crystal and glass trophies, on an aggregate appearance, all three categories will, bestow glory, honour and recognition on any recipient.
