acrylic award supplier?

[Chuck Stone]

Hey kids..

I'm looking to find a supplier for this type of acrylic award (could be glass, too)
and having a hard time finding anything but full retail (engraving included, etc.)

Spent about 3 hours on Google and 1/2 hour on here searching, but so far no
luck.

Does anyone know who supplies something along these lines without an MOQ?
And I'm looking for subtle scalloping .. 2-3 scallops per side. Some of the ones
I've found look like a first grader's crayon rendering of water...

thanks for any hints..

I thought JDS was selling those now... their latest catalog came in the mail a month or two ago, and I could swear those were in it.

What site were the image found on??

Acrylic Idea Factory might be another place to try...

Hi .. thanks everyone..
I found the images on some retail sites. Tried searching for the same images
elsewhere, but wasn't able to come up with prices less than full retail. (+/- $60)

JDS didn't show me anything for prices since I'm not a dealer.
And I really can't do the MOQ's for China.. just need one.

Can you be more specific.??

.. not without starting that search all over again! :o

But I did find the same images used at several sites.. they all seemed like
Mom & Pop operations using a stock photo and they were selling the
engraving services. In other words, nothing that would help me get to
a source.
I was able to use TinEye to help search, figuring
that if I could find others using the same photos, I might eventually hit
on a wholesaler. TinEye seems to be disabled from Sawmill Creek.. it will
only search for the SMC logo.

I have tracked things down before by getting the file name on the photo and doing a search
on that as some shops use the manufacterers photo and number for their catalogs and webpages.

Hi just a taught why don’t you import them ?

I am from Ireland and I import just about everything I use in my opinion it’s the only way to make money

Yup.. I did that too. Again.. plenty of retail hits, but not a supplier yet.
I'm still working on it.
I was trying to steer her to a polished marble, which is what I normally do
them on, but there was one acrylic in the pic that caught her eye.
I've got plenty of marble from the quarry, but no dice!

Thanks for all the hints/tips

a direct link to them.. I forget what's allowed.

Here are links for some things similar, AA the price you see is retail, you have to sign in to see wholesale.

I went to most of the sites you listed and did not see the provided images anywhere except the personal-mall (Clear) whch looks like Amerian A and a jade version at PDU. Most acrylis were American Acrylic or PDU, or JDS. Not sure why you want a wholesaler.... they will not sell to you without a resale number and 1st orders ( in most cases) have minimum orders......

Sorry.. didn't mean for you to go look them all up. Originally I posted the links to the photos,
but then remembered that some links aren't allowed here so I scaled them back. All of those
sites had photos of the one I'm looking for, but you have to wade through a few menus to
find them.

Because when I buy them for $60 + shipping and then engrave them and sell them for
$60 + shipping, I keep running out of money.
I would buy through a friend's business, and I'm looking to avoid MOQ.

Thanks Martin.. I did see that one and did open an account. But they show me
a price of $62 for wholesale. I see others retail for less, so I'm not sure if I
have to reach some 'level' of buying to get a discount or not.

I knocked, but they haven't answered yet.

If you noticed the pricing discount of (P) next to the Retail cost you would know what your actual cost is for that Item....Ask your retail friend..... The last time I published the list I was e-whipped at the stake. But let's just say it is much better than Retail.....much better.
