II. Project
Conception
During this phase
of the design process, we will work with you to
develop ideas
based on the award purpose. Factors contributing
to the design include:
Purpose
(customer or supplier appreciation, sales
awards, employee awards)
Event type
(sales meeting, charity function)
Event
theme (global, teamwork, success)
Program Theme (anniversary, financial
milestone)
Product shape
(star, diamond, pyramid)
Product size
(height, width,footprint)
Product material
(optic crystal, lead crystal, glass, marble,
stone, acrylic
Color (clear,
black, red, cobalt blue,& more)
Multiple decoration types and locations
(deep etch, 3D, color fill, screen print,
digital print)
Budget and
In-hands date.
III.
Technical Design Drawings
Data from the
prior phase will be used to construct a
technical drawing of the product. This drawing
will be reviewed with you to ensure design
accuracy. Changes will be made as required.
While technical drawings are included to ensure
details of the conceptual design, we have
designers on staff to assist in conceptual
designs. Conceptual design services may incur a
charge.
IV.
Product Proofs
Once the
technical design drawing is approved, we proceed
with a PDF proof for the artwork. Following
approval of the PDF proof a photo proof of the
etched product will be provided. Upon approval
of the photo the pre-production spec sample will
be shipped to you or your client for final
approval. If product revisions are required,
additional charges may be incurred.

Customer
Testimonial
“Before working
with Crystal Images I was struggling with
finding unique awards that had visual impact. As
I started looking
for a solution I was concerned about the quality
and production time needed to produce the
awards. Crystal Images showed
me how they could provide dynamic awards without
worrying about missing an event date. I feel
assured about Crystal
Images because they have proven they will do
whatever it takes to meet an event, even air
freighting in a replacement award
when the client broke it two days before the
event. As a result of working with them I now
have a partner who cares as much
as I do making my clients events memorable.”
