You are at the best trophy store in Brooklyn Park and the clerk ask okay would you like that award made in crystal, glass or acrylic? Are you going to know the difference? It might seem like these materials are so similar that it won’t matter what you choose but you would be wrong. While these three materials are very similar once you know their differences, you’ll see why the choice of what material to use is important.
Weight of Material
You might not be able to tell just by looking at the award if it is made from crystal, glass or acrylic but the weight of the award will be a dead giveaway. Acrylic is the lightest weight of the three because it is made with a thermoplastic material. The weight of a glass or crystal award really depends on the size and shape of the trophy or award. But if one trophy was made of glass and one was made the exact same way in crystal the crystal award will be heavier because it has a higher lead count than glass.
The Glitter and Shine
One of the biggest differences between glass, acrylic, and crystal is that crystal reflects light in a different way than glass and acrylic. Crystal awards will have a dazzling sparkle and shine that glass and acrylic awards will not have. As light hits a crystal award it reflects in rainbows and sparkles all over. Crystal is the heaviest of the three materials, the hardest to use, the most expensive but in the end, it is by far the most show-stopping material and is well worth the extra money and time. For your next corporate awards in Brooklyn Park you will now know if crystal, glass or acrylic is right for you.
