Need an Engraved Plaque ASAP? The Team at Awards Now Has Your Back!

Your event is coming up, the celebration is planned, and suddenly you realize... You still need the award!

If you're working with a tight deadline, here's what to know about ordering an engraved plaque...

How Long Does Engraving Take?

Our normal award production time is 5–7 business days.

Larger orders may require 7–10 business days, while certain specialty products can take longer. The exact timeline depends on your order, so sharing your event date early is always a good idea!

What About Same-Day Engraving?

Need a plaque engraved today? If you're in Peoria or Central Illinois, contact our team to discuss your project and timeline.

Same-day engraving isn't a guaranteed service, so availability needs to be confirmed before ordering. Your plaque style, personalization details, artwork, and production requirements can all affect timing. As always, our team will do what it takes to ensure your recognition moments shine.

Make Every Minute Count!

It’s helpful to have your wording ready. If you don’t, we can help with that. Organize the recipient’s names, date of celebration, and your meaningful recognition message. Want to browse perpetual plaques for inspiration? Browse the collection.
