Trophy and Engraving Shops in Lebanon: Corporate Awards and Personalized Gifts
AdvisorLB Team
Trophy shops are equal parts gift store and small fabrication workshop. The good ones design, customize, and engrave in-house; the others assemble from imported parts. For corporate awards, the design and engraving quality directly reflect the giver — a crooked plate or misspelled name kills the gesture.
Award Categories
- Sport trophies (resin figures, cups): $10-80 each in volume.
- Crystal/glass awards: sub-surface laser etching, $40-300.
- Wood + metal plate (employee recognition): $25-120.
- Acrylic awards: modern, lightweight, color print possible, $30-150.
- Medals (with ribbons): $3-15 each in volume; design + die for custom is a one-time fee.
Engraving Methods
- Laser on metal/wood/acrylic/leather — most flexible, precise, fast.
- Diamond drag on metal — traditional look, deeper line.
- Sandblast on glass — frosted aesthetic.
- UV print on acrylic — full color logos.
Design Tips
- Send logo in vector (AI, EPS, PDF) — not JPG/PNG.
