Custom Plaque Trophies | Awards Supplier Across the UAE
A plaque trophy is a mounted award, usually finished in leather or wood, engraved with a name, logo or message and presented to mark an achievement.
We Five Advertising produces custom plaque trophies, leather plaques, wooden engraved plaques and corporate award plaques for businesses, schools, sports clubs and government departments across Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman and Abu Dhabi. Every piece is engraved in-house, so the design you approve on the proof is the design that arrives at your door.
If you searched for a trophy shop near me, a plaque supplier in Dubai, or engraving plate suppliers, you’re probably planning for something specific, an awards night, an employee-of-the-month program, a graduation.
We work directly with HR teams, event planners, school staff and government offices to produce plaques that hold up over years on a wall or a shelf, not only for the moment they’re handed out.

Artwork Guidelines
- Send logos as vector files (AI, EPS, or PDF) rather than JPEG or PNG where possible.
- If only a raster file is available, provide a minimum of 300 DPI at final print size.
- Convert fonts to outlines before sending, especially for uncommon or branded typefaces.
- Confirm the exact spelling of names and titles in writing — engraved crystal cannot be edited once cut.
- Specify Pantone references if your logo colour needs to match printed material exactly.
Design Support: Our design team builds a digital mockup once your order is confirmed and a deposit is received.

Custom Leather Plaques
A leather plaque is a wood-backed award finished in leather or leatherette, either laser-engraved directly or fitted with an engraved metal plate carrying the recipient’s name, logo and message. It’s the finish most corporate clients choose for long-service and retirement awards because the surface holds up to years of handling and display without showing wear the way plain wood can.
We stock leather plaques in black, brown and burgundy tones, with gold-tone, silver-tone or brushed-brass plate options. Common sizes range from small desk plaques to larger boardroom pieces, and each can be mounted with a matching wood or velvet-lined edge.
Wooden Engraved Plaques
Wooden plaques are solid or veneered boards, either engraved directly or fitted with an engraved metal plate, giving a natural finish that suits schools, sports clubs and community or religious events looking for a traditional look rather than a corporate one.
Shapes include rectangular, shield and arch profiles, with a matte or gloss varnish finish. Engraving depth and font style can be adjusted on the proof before production starts.
Custom Trophy Plaques
A trophy plaque combines a trophy figure, column or resin piece mounted onto a plaque base, so it stands upright on a desk or shelf rather than hanging on a wall. This is the format most requested for sports tournaments and internal sales competitions, particularly where the same competition repeats annually and a matching name plate is added each year.
Corporate Award Plaques
Corporate award plaques are used for internal recognition programs — employee of the month, years-of-service milestones, sales targets, safety records — and are usually ordered in batches that share a template with a variable name and date field. For bulk orders, HR teams can send a spreadsheet of recipient names and we produce the full batch with consistent branding and plate layout.
Recognition and Presentation Plaques
These are typically one-off, higher-value pieces made for a specific occasion: a company anniversary, a sponsorship acknowledgment, a retirement of senior leadership, or a VIP gift. They’re often built with premium materials, such as a crystal or timber combination, and get more design attention than a standard batch order.
Custom Medals and Plaques
For sports days, marathons and school competitions, we produce medal-and-plaque packages: a medal with a ribbon or lanyard alongside a matching plaque for team or overall results, so organizers can recognize individual participants and top finishers in a single order.
Who Orders Custom Plaque Trophies From Us
Custom Plaque Trophies suit almost any recognition occasion, but a few groups make up most of our orders:
- Corporate offices – employee-of-the-month and employee-of-the-year awards, sales achievement trophies, long-service and work-anniversary plaques, and client appreciation gifts.
- Schools and universities – academic excellence plaques, sports day trophies, graduation mementos and honour board plaques, usually ordered in batches at the start or end of an academic term.
- Sports clubs and federations – league trophies, tournament shield awards and participation mementos, often needed on a fixed date before a finals event.
- Government and public sector bodies – service recognition plaques, retirement awards and ceremonial trophies for public events, typically requiring formal sign-off and PO-based ordering.
- Event and exhibition organisers – branded mementos and small giveaway trophies for delegates, sponsors and speakers.
Why Choose We Five Advertising
- 15+ years manufacturing in the UAE. We Five Advertising Gifts LLC has produced corporate gifts, trophies and plaques from our Ajman workshop for over fifteen years, which means our design team has already handled most of the layout and engraving problems a new order can throw up.
- 5-7 day turnaround from proof approval. Once you sign off the design proof, standard orders are engraved, finished and packed within 5 to 7 working days – tell us your event date up front and we will confirm whether it fits before you commit.
- UAE-wide delivery, not just Dubai. We deliver to Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Abu Dhabi and the other emirates from the same production run, so a single order can be split and delivered to multiple offices or branches.
- Bulk pricing that actually scales down. Orders above 50 pieces move to tiered bulk pricing, and we can hold agreed specs on file so repeat annual orders – like a school’s yearly sports trophies – don’t need to be re-quoted from scratch each time.
Custom Trophies & Awards Delivery in UAE
Our standard trophies and awards are typically produced and delivered within 4–6 working days.
Custom-designed, engraved, branded, or bulk orders generally require up to 7 working days, depending on the design complexity, personalization requirements, and order quantity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How long does it take to get a custom plaque trophy in Dubai?
Standard production is 5 to 7 business days from the date you approve the design proof, not from your first enquiry. Delivery across Dubai typically adds same-day to next-day courier time.
Q2: What's the difference between a leather plaque and a wooden plaque?
Leather plaques use a leather or leatherette-covered board and are generally chosen for corporate long-service and retirement awards because the surface resists scratching. Wooden plaques use a solid or veneered board with a varnished finish and suit schools, sports clubs and community events looking for a traditional style.
Q3: Can I order plaques in bulk for an annual awards event?
Yes. For bulk orders we work from a spreadsheet of names and dates so every plaque in the batch shares the same template and plate layout, with no added setup charge for the variable text.
Q4: Can I see a design before it's printed?
Yes. A design proof showing your logo, text and chosen plaque style is sent for approval, and production does not begin until you sign off on it.
Q5: What is the minimum order quantity for custom plaques?
We take single-piece orders as well as bulk batches. Smaller orders, including single custom plaque trophies, are handled the same way as bulk orders — through a design proof before production.
