Express Medals 5 x 7 Inch Cherry Color DIY Blank Award Plaque with Beveled Edge Trophy Gift Plaques

This blank award plaque looks really, really nice. It's made of wood, so adding an engraved nameplate or enamel award looks super sharp. The color is dark without being too dark. It's a rich color is how I'd best describe it. Looks equally well with brass, gold, or silver colored accents.

I used it to make a plaque with my CO2 laser. I laser etched gold acrylic and glued it to the plaque, but I tested how etching showed up on the material it's self first. Image had good contrast with both vector and raster images. I'm not really a fan of the key holes on the back for mounting, but attaching a metal mount was easy enough.

Love the price and the fact that they are shipped individually bubble wrapped.Edit. Soo there isn't alot of options of these available on Amazon and I initially liked them but to line up my plaque image I put painters tape that is not very sticky. To line up the print. I finally used them And taking off the tape it ripped off the fake print of wood. Idk what to think. They look nice were shipped nice but they are fragile. Just note these are not solid wood and they have the fake wood grain cover over it. It chips and peels extremely easy. I assume it was particle wood and wood laminate because of the price so i was ok with that. Like they get the job done but they arnt going to stand the test of time bumps and drops. I suppose the newer plaques are like this unless they are super expensive solid wood.... I just dont know what to think. Just wish the wood grain cover was nicer. I managed to save it with a cayola marker but disappointed. I cant charge more then what I pay to make these. Because of the quality and price point. I would consider making these a regular buy if you offered a better deal on bulk prices. That way the customer I'm selling to gets something that's not extremely expensive but also room to charge what they are worth. Right now I'm breaking even on a ok item. I hope they fix this or lower prices or very least offer a better deal on bulk orders. I will probably buy more until I can try a different seller. And if that's the case you have a customer until I find a better quality which hopfully will happen for me. I just feel there is no room for profit which most people ordering these are going to sell them. And if u break even your kinda cheating your buyer for something that won't last long enough to keep as a keep sake to show your future children. Dramatic 🤣 but that's what these are for. Intended to keep for many years. I've had dollar store particle board shelf with fake wood laminate on it that lasted longer then this did before it was given away. Look nice but maybe that's why they came in bubble wrapped and carefully shipped. I thought was just a sign of quality of the seller but maybe it was to make sure it looks good apon arrival. But as soon as u touch it it's all on you now.
