A Prime Example of Black Plaques:

Custom Engraved Black Appreciation Plaque
Black award plaques offer a new level of style and class. Black plaques offer a great contrast color to the recipient’s wall.
Black plaques come in 2 quality grades; premium and economy.
Premium black plaques are made from a solid wood and finished with a shiny lacquer coating. The edges can consist of beveled or rounded edges, while the corners can be square, rounded or notched. The high quality black plaques come with a variety of engraving plate options that add additional emphasis on style. These engraving plates feature different borders with texture or design. These design elements are one of the differentiating factors of the plaque and are often the basis of why an awards purchaser selects one type versus another.
Economy black plaques are fabricated from MDF pressboard. A black foil is then applied to yield a nice black finish. The most popular style of the economy black plaques has a cove edge and square corners. Typically, economy black plaques have a black brass or black aluminum sheet stock engraving plate with either a gold or silver aluminum back plate. The double plated look provides a border to the engraving plate and adds a color coordinated contrast to the engraving.
Drawing from the inspiration of a grand piano, these plaques offer a modern style that can be placed with pride in a variety of settings. These plaques are best placed in a modern office or entryway where the decor of the room matches or contrasts well with the black color in the plaque.
The example in this article is a premium black piano finished plaque with slightly beveled edges and square corners. The engraving plate offers a screened gold border with a braided edge design.
From the Airflyte® Premium Series, this plaque features a heavy-lacquer finish on a black plaque. The finish on this plaque resembles that of a grand piano. The solid brass engraving plate features a braided design border. Recognize outstanding achievements with this classy award.
