Quite recently, I happened to visit a friend of mine who works for one of the biggest software giants in the country. The first thing that caught my attention when I reached his home was a wall plaque mounted on his wall.

It was an award for his achievements as a sales manager the previous quarter. It was not as if I was seeing a corporate plaque award for the first time. But this was definitely the best one that I had seen so far. And I was seeing one after a long time as well.

Corporate plaque awards were widely used a few decades ago. But then they went out of fashion and were replaced by trophies. And now, they are back with a bang and most of corporate America now uses corporate plaque awards.

About plaques

There are numerous different types of corporate plaque awards that you can choose from. They are a wonderful addition to any home or office. You can choose from Acrylic plaques, walnut plaques or simple economic ones.

Corporate plaque awards made of wood are the most expensive ones. But these are also the most exquisite looking of them all. They are usually made of Alder or Walnut. But you can also get custom plaques made of oak or cherry wood.
