Acrylic awards
Acrylic is the material that lets colour and light do the work. It carries full colour printing, gradients and layered shapes that glass cannot, at a weight and price that make larger runs realistic. We cut, print, form and finish acrylic awards in house in Antwerp.
Custom acrylic and plexi awards with real design freedom
An acrylic award is not a cheaper glass award. It is a different material with different strengths: it can be printed in full colour across the whole surface, laminated in layers, cut into shapes that follow your logo outline, and combined with metal or wood for contrast. That is why it shows up in esports, tech and event work where the design has to carry a brand rather than disappear into a generic block. We have produced acrylic and plexi awards for brands including Showpad, Nintendo, Twitch, Leyton and Hack The Box.
Engineered for colour that stays accurate at volume
Full colour on a transparent material is where cheap acrylic work falls apart: colours shift, edges chip and the print sits visibly on top of the surface. We proof the colour against your brand values, choose between surface print, reverse print and inlay per design, and finish every edge by hand.
UV printing directly on acrylic gives sharp full colour artwork, gradients and photographic detail. Printing on the reverse of a clear panel puts the colour behind the surface, which protects it and adds visible depth.
Acrylic can be cut to any outline and built up in layers, so the award can take the shape of your logo, product or symbol instead of a rectangle with a print on it. Thicknesses are combined for depth and weight.
Design, 3D engineering, production and finishing all happen at Fabit in Antwerp. One point of contact, one standard, and no handover losses between suppliers. That is also why we can answer a brief within 24 hours and ship worldwide from a single location.

Our acrylic award process
From brief to delivery, every acrylic project follows the same route. Colour proofing sits early in the process, because that is where most surprises happen.
Briefing & strategy
We define your objectives, audience, timeline and budget. Together we establish the creative direction, technical requirements and scope of the project.
Concept & 3D design
Our designers translate your briefing into detailed 3D concepts. You receive realistic visuals for review and refinement before production begins.
Production & finishing
After approval, your acrylic awards are cut, printed, assembled and hand finished in house, with every edge polished and every colour checked against the approved proof.
Worldwide delivery
We handle packaging, logistics and international shipping to ensure safe, on-time delivery anywhere in the world, whether it is one piece or a full program.

The team also accepts and picks up feedback to make sure we were happy with the result. Thanks team Fabit!The team actively listened to our feedback and made sure we were fully satisfied with the final outcome. Thanks, team Fabit.
Fabit absolutely blew our expectations away with the 3D trophy for our PGT PLO Series in Las Vegas.
The players loved the look and feel. Fabit took our concept and delivered something even better than we envisioned. We will definitely work with them again.
Frequently asked questions
Event teams and brand managers ask us the same questions about acrylic versus glass, colour accuracy, size and cost. Here are the answers.
Senior Account Manager
What is the difference between acrylic and glass awards?
Acrylic is lighter, safer to ship, cheaper at volume and far more flexible in shape and colour. Glass and crystal are heavier and read as more traditional, with a refractive quality acrylic cannot fully match. If the design depends on full colour, an unusual outline or layered depth, acrylic is the better material. If it depends on weight and classic prestige, crystal usually wins.
Can you print full colour artwork on an acrylic award?
Yes. We UV print directly on the material, on the surface or on the reverse of a clear panel, in full colour including gradients and photographic detail. Colours are proofed against your brand guidelines before the run starts.
How large can an acrylic award be?
Large enough for a main stage piece. We work with thick panels and combine layers and metal supports for stability, so height is limited more by transport and handling than by the material. Tell us the venue and we will engineer to it.
Are acrylic awards a cheap option?
They are cost effective at volume, which is not the same as cheap. Material cost is lower than crystal, but the design, cutting, printing and hand finishing are what determine the result. A well engineered acrylic award beats a poorly finished crystal one every time.
Do you combine acrylic with other materials?
Yes, and it is one of the most effective ways to lift the piece. Acrylic with a metal base adds weight and contrast, acrylic with wood softens it, and acrylic with 3D printed elements adds shapes that cannot be cut from a panel.
