At my law office, when we obtain a noteworthy settlement or judgment, we have the check or judgment engraved for our trophy wall. We also obtain trophies of news stories reporting on our settlements or judgements. We've not updated the wall for more than two years, so I have a stack of checks on deck. The trophies we've purchased in the past are walnut plaques with copies of the check engraved on what looks to me like brass-colored alumamark.
Since I purchased a laser engraver for my wife's business, everyone is badgering me to get moving and update the trophy wall. I am also thinking that it would be good marketing for me to give trophies to our clients.
I received a JDS catalog with my Epilog Mini. They do not sell a plaque that will work for the checks. They will make custom sizes, but the minimum is 500 pieces. We have not been quite that successful.
I would appreciate the group's advice on the following:
1. Can anyone recommend a source for laser engravable plaques for checks (8.5" X 3") and/or for letter-sized documents (8.5" X 11)?
2. Is there anything I should know before I attempt to engrave a photocopy of a check or document onto alumamark? Is there a more reliable material?
3. Can anyone suggest a more interesting or attractive laser-engravable medium for wall-hanging?
I've got several to make, so I'll probably be ordering at least three dozen pieces. While our resources are not unlimited, I am more interested in aesthetics than price.
Thanks in advance.
