Plaques

Thirty years at the district. The nurse who trained half the floor. The coach who never missed a game. A plaque is the thing they keep after the cake is gone, so the words matter more than anything else on it.

  • Lead with the occasion (Happy Retirement, In Appreciation), then the full name, the years and one line of thanks.
  • Add who it is from at the bottom: the team, the department, the class.
  • Planning around a party? Count 2 business days from your order to the ship date, then add USPS transit. Orders shipping to El Paso and Las Cruces-area ZIP codes (798, 799, 880) ship one business day sooner, free.

Questions

How fast does a plaque ship?

Plaques ship within 2 business days of the order. Military and first-responder plaques ship within 3 business days. Orders shipping to El Paso and Las Cruces-area ZIP codes (798, 799, 880) ship one business day sooner, free.

Can you put a branch emblem, unit crest or department seal on a plaque?

No. Our military and first-responder plaques are text only: rank, name, unit, dates and your words. We don’t engrave military seals, emblems or insignia.

Can we add our company or school logo?

Yes, on the pieces that take a logo. Upload it on the product page in our shop. Logos engrave in one tone, not colour, so a simple one-colour version works well.

Can a plaque be in Spanish?

Yes. Type it exactly as it should read, with every accent and ñ, and it is engraved as typed.

Do you have a perpetual plaque we can add names to each year?

Yes, perpetual plaques are in the shop. For many plaques at once, or plates for a plaque you already own, request a quote.

Can unit funds pay for a farewell or retirement plaque?

Often not. Farewell, PCS and retirement gifts are generally bought with personal funds, while achievement awards may follow different rules. Your resource manager decides.
