Real scheduling, not a promise

This week's turnaround board.

The honest range for each category, right now. Rush changes these numbers — call and we'll confirm against your exact date.

Standard shop turnaround Loading season note…
Turnaround is measured in business days from proof approval, Monday–Friday. Weekends and the day of pickup are not counted.
Choosing between materials

Acrylic, crystal, glass, or bronze — compared honestly.

No single material is "better." Each behaves differently in the hand, under light, and outdoors. Switch a tab and watch the piece on the left change material in real time.

Acrylic · Live 3D

Acrylic

Lightweight and precise-edged, acrylic takes color-fill engraving cleanly and holds a sharp line even on small text. It's the material most youth sports and school orders land on, because it lets a large batch stay affordable without looking cheap.

Crystal

Cut crystal catches and bends light, which is exactly why it reads as the "top tier" piece in a display case — the same title feels heavier in crystal than in acrylic. It marks best under a deep, sandblasted engrave rather than a fine surface line.

Glass

Cooler and more understated than crystal, glass suits corporate and modern-brand pieces where a company logo needs to stay the focal point instead of competing with heavy facets. It's also the most breakage-sensitive material we carry, worth knowing before shipping.

Bronze

The only material on this page rated for permanent outdoor and cemetery use. Bronze oxidizes gracefully rather than degrading, which is why it's the standard for dedication plaques, building markers, and bronze memorial work — including cemetery-standard sizes and mounting.

Team & League
★★★★★

We needed 60 medals re-ordered to match a design from three years ago, with four days' notice. They pulled the old file and had them ready early.

— Recreation league coordinator, Bergen County
Individual & Gift
★★★★★

I brought in my father's watch to have it engraved for my son. They were careful with it, showed me exactly how it would look first, and it came out better than I pictured.

— Individual customer, Teaneck
Memorial
★★★★★

We ordered a memorial plaque for my mother. They walked us through the cemetery's sizing requirements without making us feel like we were being sold anything.

— Family, Hackensack
Team & League
★★★★☆

Good pricing on a 120-piece school order. Only note is to build in a day or two of buffer around graduation season since it's their busiest stretch.

— PTA volunteer, New Milford
Individual & Gift
★★★★★

Ordered one crystal award for a retirement dinner with about a week's notice. Proof came back same day, exactly as requested.

— Office manager, Englewood
Team & League
★★★★★

Eight years running our company's sales awards have come from Arista. Never a spelling error, never a missed date.

Before you call

Questions we get every week, grouped by order type.

25 Portland Ave, Bergenfield, NJ 07621, open Monday through Friday, 10am to 4pm. We serve the wider Tri-State area for pickup and shipped orders.
Yes, always. Names, dates, and logos are the one thing you cannot fix after the fact, so nothing goes under the engraver until you've approved exactly what it will say — that's the proof builder above, in miniature.
No. We make single pieces for individuals as regularly as we make large league or corporate batches.
Yes. Team, league, school, and corporate orders are priced by quantity — the more consistent the run, the better the per-unit price. Use the quantity field in the proof builder and we'll quote it as a set.
Yes — many of our school and league accounts have ordered the same base design for years, and we keep records so this year's batch matches last year's on the shelf.
It depends on quantity and how tight the date is, so we quote it directly. Enter your date and quantity above — if the estimate box flags rush, call and we'll give you a real number.
In many cases, yes — watches, glassware, tools, and gifts purchased elsewhere can often be engraved. Bring it in or call first if you're not sure the material or shape will work.
Yes — single gift orders go through the same proof-first process as a 300-piece batch. No minimum, no different treatment.
We do, including cemetery-standard sizing and mounting formats. This part of our work moves at a different pace and tone than a trophy order — call and ask for that specifically, and we'll walk you through it without any pressure.
No. If you select "Memorial" in the proof builder above, we intentionally remove the rush and turnaround urgency language — timing for this work is confirmed with you directly, on your schedule.
