People rarely remember the speeches at an award ceremony, but they keep the award for years. The acrylic award plaque from Aquile Superior Prints gives your staff, students and members something worth keeping: a solid 20mm block of clear perspex on a 20mm black acrylic base, carrying your logo, their name and the words that tell them their work mattered.
Every acrylic award plaque is printed in full colour by sublimation, so your logo keeps its true colours and the text stays sharp for years. Pick your size, upload your details, approve the design and we will deliver anywhere in Nigeria.

Made for the Moments That Matter
Most organisations in Nigeria recognise their people at the same few points each year. Here is where the acrylic award plaque is used most, and the kind of award each occasion calls for.
| Occasion | Typical awards |
|---|---|
| End of year staff party (November to December) | Staff of the Year, Manager of the Year, Long Service, Sales Champion |
| School prize giving day (July) | Best Graduating Student, Best in Subject, Sports Star, Most Disciplined |
| Retirement and send forth | Meritorious Service, Appreciation for Years of Dedication |
| Church anniversaries and thanksgiving | Appreciation of Pastors, Workers, Donors and Faithful Members |
| Association and alumni dinners | Distinguished Member, Honorary Award, Past President |
| Bank and branch performance reviews | Best Branch, Top Performer, Customer Service Excellence |
| NGO, government and community events | Volunteer of the Year, Partner Appreciation, Community Service |
| Sports tournaments and competitions | Winner, Player of the Season, Fair Play |
What Makes This Acrylic Award Plaque Last
The secret is in the printing. We use dye sublimation, where heat turns the ink into a vapour that bonds with the coated surface of the plaque. The design becomes part of the plaque itself. There is no sticker to peel and no surface print to scratch off, so the colours stay rich and the finest lines of your logo remain clean.
The plaque is cut from 20mm transparent acrylic, also known as perspex, and stands on a 20mm black acrylic base. At this thickness the award feels solid and substantial in the hand, the edges catch the light like polished glass, and the plaque stands firm without wobbling. The black base frames the clear acrylic and makes the colours stand out, so the award looks impressive on a desk, office table or display shelf the moment it is unwrapped.
Acrylic, Glass or Wood?
Buyers often weigh these 3 materials against each other. Here is an honest comparison to help you decide.
| Acrylic | Glass or crystal | Wood | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Look | Clear, thick and modern | Clear and heavy | Warm and traditional |
| Weight | Solid, about half the weight of glass | Heavy | Medium |
| Risk of breaking | Low | High | Low |
| Full colour photos and logos | Excellent | Limited | Good |
| Safe for bulk delivery | Yes | Needs extra care | Yes |
For most corporate and school events, an acrylic award plaque offers the best mix of elegance, colour and safety, especially when many awards must travel to another state or be handled on a busy stage.
Acrylic Award Plaque Wording Ideas
Not sure what to write? Here are a few examples you can adapt for your own acrylic award plaque.
Keep citations to 2 to 4 lines. Short wording looks more elegant on the plaque and is easier to read at a glance.
Choosing the Right Acrylic Award Plaque Size
The acrylic award plaque comes in several sizes, and many organisations use more than 1 in the same ceremony. A smaller plaque suits group awards, departmental honours and appreciation gifts. A larger plaque signals the top honour of the night, such as Staff of the Year or Best Graduating Student. Select a size at the top of this page to see its price.

From Your Order to the Award Night
- You order. Choose your size and quantity, upload your logo and enter each recipient’s name, title and citation. For many plaques, upload all the names in 1 Excel or Word file.
- We design. Our team lays out each plaque and checks every name, title and number for errors.
- You approve. We send the design to you on WhatsApp. Printing begins only after you confirm it is correct.
- We print and pack. Each acrylic award plaque is sublimation printed, fitted to its base and packed with care.
- It arrives. We deliver to your office, school or venue, or you pick up from our office in Shomolu, Lagos. Track every stage from your account on this website.
Plaques are ready for dispatch within 3 to 4 working days after you approve your design. For events, place your order at least 7 days ahead so there is time to review the design calmly.
Ordering for a Whole Team or School
Large award orders are where mistakes usually creep in, so we have made them simple. Upload a single file with every name, title and citation, and our team will prepare each acrylic award plaque from it. Your bulk discount is applied automatically in the cart as your quantity goes up, so you see the final price before you pay.
Before you upload, confirm every spelling with the recipients. A name printed exactly right is the detail people notice first when they receive their award.
Complete the Ceremony
An award night needs more than awards. Give guests a photo spot with a backdrop banner stand, welcome them at the entrance with a roll up banner stand, and guide them to the right hall with a snapper frame foyer stand.
Your Questions Answered
Does the acrylic award plaque come with a base?
Yes. Every plaque sits on a 20mm black acrylic base, ready to stand on a desk, table or shelf.
Is acrylic the same as perspex?
Yes. Perspex is a popular name for acrylic. Our plaques are made from 20mm transparent perspex, which gives them a thick, solid and premium feel.
Will the print fade or peel?
No. Sublimation bonds the ink into the surface of the plaque, so the design does not peel like a sticker and holds its colour well over time.
Can you print a photo of the recipient on the acrylic award plaque?
Yes. Full colour sublimation reproduces photos clearly. Upload the sharpest version you have for the best result.
What file should I send for my logo?
A high resolution PNG or PDF works best. Logos copied from WhatsApp or taken as screenshots often print blurry.
Can each plaque carry a different name?
Yes. Upload all names and titles in 1 Excel or Word file, and every plaque will be personalised individually.
Will I see the design before you print?
Always. We send the design to you on WhatsApp for your approval, and nothing is printed until you confirm it.
How long does production take?
Plaques are ready for dispatch within 3 to 4 working days after you approve your design. For events, we recommend ordering at least 7 days ahead.
How much does it cost?
The price for each size is shown at the top of this page. Your bulk discount is applied automatically in the cart.
Do you deliver outside Lagos?
Yes, to every state in Nigeria. Your delivery cost appears at checkout once you enter your address.
