Engraved Wood Recognition Plaque

An engraved wood recognition plaque differs from a certificate in one important way. There is usually no document behind it, so every word on it has to be written from scratch.

Nothing to copy from

A degree or a competition certificate arrives with its wording fixed. Internal recognition does not. Someone has to decide what the plaque actually says.

What tends to work

A specific reason beats a general compliment. The project, the year, the branch, the number. People keep the ones that record something real. Other formats sit in our engraved wood certificate range.

The material

16 mm natural wood with a smooth finished surface, cut by high-precision laser engraving for a fade-resistant result.

How much text to use

Fewer words engrave larger and read better. A title, a name, one line of reason and a date is usually the right amount.

Getting the names right

Check the spelling of every name against a payroll or student record, not from memory. A preview is shared before production for exactly this reason. See our wooden certificate frames range.

Who these go to

Employees, long-service recipients, clients, volunteers and coaches. The object is the same. Only the sentence changes.

Frequently asked wooden certificate questions

Can we write our own wording?

Yes. The engraved text is entirely yours, along with the award title, the recipient’s name, a date and your logo.

How much text can be engraved?

Enough for a title, a name, a short line and a date. Longer text has to be set smaller, which reduces how well it reads from a distance.

Can we see it before it is made?

Yes. A design preview is shared for approval, so check every name and date carefully.

Is it suitable for corporate awards?

Yes, it is widely used for employee recognition and client appreciation. A related option is the engraved wooden gift plaque.
