Customize our laser engraved or color printed retirement plaques to congratulate your friends, family, employees, and more for their dedicated work. It’s available in an 8 x 10” size, which is convenient for any display. It also gives you plenty of room to add personal messages and art. Include the retiree’s name and the company’s name, giving it an official and thoughtful design.

There are several colors to choose from, including gold, silver, or white with full color customization. Choose a black metal design with gold or silver engravings for a modest look that still makes a stylish impression. You may also select a blue marble design with gold engravings. This option can stand out a bit more, though it’s equally classy.

Its sleek, wooden finish is sure to complement any office or living room. Retirement is an important and hard-earned milestone for any field.

Production Style

This product offers two production styles: sublimation and laser engraving. Learn more about the differences in our production style guide.

Sublimated

Sublimation is the standard option for aluminum metal. In this process, heat presses ink into the metal surface. With sublimation, we are unable to print in white. The white color will be replaced with the color of the metal. If you wish to keep the white in your artwork, select white aluminum. Products that are sublimated are only intended for indoor use. The ink will fade in direct sunlight.

Laser Engraving

Laser engraving is the standard option for laser engraved aluminum. In this process, the laser strikes the surface of the metal and removes the top color to reveal a secondary color underneath.

Mounting

You can mount this product using the included keyhole slot. You can also upgrade to black plastic easel. For more information, visit our Mounting Reference Page.
