					We needed a sustainable award for our Managing Director’s 25 years of service, and Impact Glass Creations delivered perfectly. Despite our strict deadline, Tony did an amazing job ensuring the award reached us days before the event. The team’s professionalism, seamless communication, and attention to detail were impressive. The award was stunning, combining craftsmanship and sustainability, and added a significant touch of prestige to our event. Our Managing Director was thrilled and felt genuinely appreciated. Overall, our experience was exceptional. We highly recommend Impact Glass Creations for any recognition or award needs, and we are excited to use them again in the future!

					I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for your exceptional assistance with our recent order. The entire process, from design through to order and shipment, was handled impeccably thanks to your dedication and expertise. We are truly appreciative of your efforts in making everything go so smoothly.
Zifan Zhang
					We required some acknowledgement of country plaques for our offices across australia. It was a very smooth process and the team at Impact glass creations were very helpful and accommodating. They helped us a lot with getting the wording right which was our biggest concern. They are very quick with getting artwork done and overall we were very happy with the process and how the plaques turned out, they look great!
Emily Nguyen
					My experience with Tony and the team at Impact Glass Creations was faultless. I was so impressed with the prompt communications, custom design, kept promises on turn around times and working within our budget. The recipients of our awards were so impressed with the trophies and we will definitely be repeat customers.
Erin Finch
					Amazing awards, the quality and design turned out even better than we had hoped. I couldn't recommend more! The team at Impact Glass Creations were incredibly kind and helpful, I greatly appreciated all of their help in turning around the awards so last minute.
Mia Arrowsmith
					Big thanks to the Impact Glass Creations team for the beautiful custom plaque we had made for our office opening. The team were very patient with our design iterations, helped us select more sustainable materials where possible, and were very efficient and communicative. The finish quality of the plaque was superb and received a lot of compliments. Would definitely recommend working with them.
Hannah Liddell
					We recently engaged Impact Glass Creations to create the Ministry of Sports Awards and they turned out great. The Team were super helpful to ensure they were right and delivered at short notice to our event. Thanks to Danielle and Aldi for their help in delivering a great product.
Luisa Bertoldi
					Reached out to Impact Glass Creations stressfully as we were notified we need to prepare customized gift with only about a week timeframe. Tony and his team are able to help us figure something out within this short timeframe, and completed the job with quality. I'm sure they could create much more unique and crazier stuff (in a good way) if we got a longer timeframe, but for only a week timeframe? This already is very impressive. Definitely recommending them! Vincent Rudder Group
Vincent Ho
					We ordered through Impact for our National IGP Dogsport Championships (2023) trophies after searching for a modern trophy designer. We were thoroughly impressed at the coordination, communication, and final products from the team. I would highly recommend for fully customised trophy design, especially where you want some colour and sophistication. Thanks again team!
Gabriela Visini
					I couldn't be more delighted with the exceptional trophies that Impact Glass Creations designed and crafted for our Annual Conference event. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of outstanding. First and foremost, the communication with Danielle Marshall and Tony Hilsden was smooth and efficient. They took the time to understand our vision and requirements, and their team provided valuable suggestions to enhance the overall design. Their attention to detail and commitment to delivering a high-quality product were evident from the beginning. The trophies themselves are truly works of art. Each one is a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the team. The attention to detail, precision, and quality of materials used are evident in every piece. They managed to capture the essence of our event and translate it into beautifully designed trophies that our recipients were proud to receive. Not only were the trophies visually stunning, but they were also delivered on time, and the packaging was impeccable to ensure their safe arrival. It's evident that they take pride in every aspect of their work, from the initial design concept to the final product's presentation. Our event was a tremendous success, in no small part thanks to the remarkable trophies that Glass Creations provided. They added a level of prestige and honor to our awards ceremony that will be remembered for years to come. I can't recommend Glass Creations highly enough for their exceptional trophy design and production services. If you're looking for a company that combines creativity, professionalism, and quality craftsmanship, look no further. They are is the best in the business.

					In my professional dealings with Impact Glass Creations they have been exceptional. Rylock Pty Ltd engaged them to design and manufacture custom crystal mementos to celebrate our 40th anniversary and the quality and craftsmanship exceeded my expectations. From my initial enquiry with Tony, through to Leon and Danielle - everybody offered exceptional customer service and an outstanding product. The team sincerely went above and beyond to meet our requirements and I look forward to soon distributing these to staff as gifts. Thank you, Emma.
Emma Truong
					I contacted Impact Glass Creations after being let down by one of their competitors. We had designed an award which we knew was going to be difficult to produce. The competitor had assured us that they could do it and then stopped returning calls. When we eventually contacted them the admitted that the job was Beyond them, Enter Tony, Ben and the team at Impact. They took on the job and re-engineered our design in a way that not only made it workable but also improved it and made it easier to update. The design meant integrating woodwork, metalwork and vinyl printing. Impact managed the job seamlessly and despite being called into the game late, they delivered a high quality product on time.
Don Strachan
					Contacted Impact Glass Creations via email and requested some information about this gift. They were very professional and we worked out the quickest solution for me as this was required in a short space of time. The process was quick and I had various emails for ideas and proofing. Once completed and paid I had the clock arrive in around 7 days. This was a gift for my employer and they are so impressed that they will contacting Impact Glass Creations if they require anything similar. Thank You.
Dale Culpin
					Did a great job on a one off, custom award for someone leaving our team.  Good communication throughout and a great looking product which has been really appreciated.  Thanks Tony and team!
Gareth Wellings
					An over all wonderful experience, especially keeping in mind that I had a custom design in mind not something off the shelf, response times were exceptional, quick turnaround of design to approve and making changes etc. And most importantly their expert advise, about design, packaging etc. At the end of the day thats what i look for expertise in your field and guidance which helps me as a client to make an informed decision. Very happy with the end result. Will go back for more when the need arises.
AMTIL
					I called Impact Glass Creations with no idea on how to articulate the vision I had in mind. Tony was able to take the words right out of my mouth and bring to life exactly what I hoped for and more!!!! The team at Impact Glass Creations are beyond helpful, efficient, patient & knowledgeable. Every request and change I made (there was a lot) was always executed flawlessly & communication was second to one. The attention to detail is just wow!!! The final product was exceptional. I am just so happy with my experience and just want to say the biggest thank you to the team at Impact Glass Creations, specifically Tony, Danielle & Ben. I can’t wait to work with you all again in the future.
Elizabeth Anderson
					Leon at Impact Glass Creations was wonderful to work with, extremely responsive and highly professional throughout. We required a quick turnaround of some products for our international-level event and Leon and his team couldn't have been any more helpful and they have provided us with a excellent, high quality outcome that we are very happy with.

FAQ Circle Protrait Woman Thinking 352 x 351

What are recognition awards and why are they important?

Recognition awards celebrate the people who go above and beyond. They foster a positive culture and promote achievement in the workplace. They’re ideal for ongoing programs alongside corporate awards and long service awards, creating a culture of consistent appreciation.

Can recognition awards be personalised for individual recipients?

Yes. Engraved recognition awards can include the recipient’s name, department, and reason for recognition. We can also colour print your logo or create tiered trophy sets for different achievement levels, such as sales excellence or leadership.

Will I get to see a design mockup of my recognition awards before proceeding with an order?

Yes. Our design process includes a detailed mockup showing how your recognition awards will look before production. You’ll have the chance to make revisions and confirm every detail so your final trophies perfectly match your expectations.

What occasions or achievements are best suited for recognition awards?

Recognition awards are ideal for outstanding performance, innovation, teamwork, or customer service. Many companies incorporate them into corporate awards ceremonies or combine them with long service awards to recognise both short-term impact and long-term contribution.

Can recognition awards be designed for teams, not just individuals?

Absolutely. We can design team recognition awards or group trophies that highlight collective success. They’re often displayed as wall plaques within offices or meeting spaces to celebrate collaboration.

What materials are best for recognition trophies?

This depends on your brand and event theme. Crystal awards are elegant for formal events, acrylic awards suit modern programs, and timber trophies add warmth and sustainability. We’ll help you choose the right material blend for your design and budget.

Do you offer recurring recognition programs for businesses?

Yes. We can help set up annual or quarterly recognition award programs with consistent designs that can be reordered each year. Many clients also expand these programs to include perpetual trophies or paperweights for ongoing recognition.

How long does it take to produce recognition awards?

Most custom recognition awards take 3–5 weeks from approval to delivery. For urgent deadlines, ready-made pieces can be personalised in 1–2 weeks. Contact us today so we can confirm what’s possible for your project timeline.

How much do recognition trophies cost?

Pricing depends on the materials, size, and complexity of the design. We’ll recommend recognition award options that deliver the right impact within your budget. Tell us your project details and we’ll provide accurate pricing to bring your vision to life.

Where do you deliver to?

We deliver recognition awards and trophies across Australia and internationally via trusted couriers such as DHL and FedEx. Most capital cities can receive overnight delivery. Fill in any of our forms and we’ll guide you on the best delivery options for your location.

Can I order a one-off recognition award or a small batch?

Yes. One-off recognition trophies or small batches can be arranged, though minimum order values apply. Ordering extras is often more economical, and we can store them securely for future events. Reach out today and we’ll advise the most practical approach for your order.
