That’s especially so when the client wants something “more along their branding and company’s personality." [That sounds more like a custom piece](https://info.brucefox.com/blog/11-signs-your-customers-are-looking-for-custom). However, if custom is not possible, distributors have to find alternatives to the heavy marble awards to stand on desks or the shiny silver plaque that hangs up on the wall. However, there are ways to get that look without having to deal with the hefty weight, as well as avoid having to spend large amounts of money. ## Precious Metal Plaques Precious Metal Plaques -awards with the coloring and design of precious metals without having to break the budget.
