Laser engraving on trophies (Cyprus)
Laser engraving on trophies in Cyprus — 80W CO2 laser on crystal, glass, and wood trophies. Runs from 30 units, 7–10 business day lead time from Limassol.
Why laser engraving on a crystal trophy is the most premium mark for Cyprus recognition awards
A Nicosia fintech wanted 30 branded crystal trophies for its annual awards gala, each carrying a 100×40 mm engraved citation on the front face. UV printing sat on the crystal as a film; pad printing was slow at 4 minutes per trophy. Laser engraving at 80W CO2 etched the citation at 2 mm depth inside the crystal, creating a permanent 3D floating effect that reads as a premium award detail. Cost: €32.40 per trophy on a 200 mm jade crystal obelisk trophy.
Models and materials that work with laser engraving on a trophy
Laser engraving works on crystal, glass, wood, and anodised aluminium. The standard grade is 200 mm jade crystal obelisk trophy. The premium tier is 220 mm jade glass with an internal 3D engraving at +€18.40 per trophy. Wood and aluminium trophies (disk-on-base) take laser engraving on the front face at 0.3 mm depth. Print placements: front face (100×40 mm standard, max 150×80 mm), sub-face below the logo (60×15 mm).
Laser engraving specifics: 80W CO2, depth, and finish on crystal
Standard production: 80W CO2 laser at 2 mm depth inside crystal for a 3D floating effect, 4-minute etch time per trophy. The laser creates a network of micro-fractures inside the crystal that scatter light and reveal the citation as a 3D floating mark inside the transparent material. For wood and aluminium, the laser etches the surface at 0.3 mm depth for a tone-on-tone debossed mark. The engraving is permanent and survives decades of display.
Bundling and packaging
Trophies ship individually in 280×240 mm kraft gift boxes with a velvet lining (€1.80 per box uplift) or in a presentation display case (€3.40 per case uplift). Bulk deliveries go in master cartons of 10 trophies each.

Frequently asked questions
What is the largest laser engraving size on a trophy?
The standard front-face placement is 100×40 mm; the maximum is 150×80 mm on a 220 mm trophy.
Can laser engraving reproduce a photographic image?
Limited — laser engraving etches solid lines and halftone screens. Photographic artwork loses detail.
Can laser engraving create a 3D floating effect inside crystal?
Yes — 80W CO2 at 2 mm depth inside crystal creates a 3D floating effect. The laser creates a network of micro-fractures that scatter light.
Can laser engraving include colour fill?
Limited — anodised aluminium trophies accept colour-fill paint at +€1.20 per trophy. Crystal and glass do not accept colour fill.
Can each trophy carry a unique citation?
Yes — variable-data laser engraving is included up to 30 unique citations. Above 30 we charge €0.80 per unique citation.
Can laser engraving print on a wood or aluminium trophy?
Yes — wood and aluminium trophies take laser engraving on the front face at 0.3 mm depth for a tone-on-tone debossed mark.
