Our standard production schedule is
to ship in 3-4 weeks (except custom sculpted bas relief's
- such as a persons face). Some plaques on
our standard schedule go out sooner, you should use
our rush service if you MUST have
your order shipped in less time.
If needed, we can ship custom cast bronze
plaques - including those with a custom bas relief,
in a little as one week.
To really save time, use our bronze
plaque / aluminum plaque design
wizard where you can
design your own plaque, see changes
in real time and order on line. You can have your bronze
plaque designed, view the proof and purchase the plaque
all inside of 15 minutes.
If you prefer to have us do the design,
fill out our quotation
request and in most cases you
will have a proof in hours (during normal working hours).
If changes are needed, just call and we can make them
in real time while you watch on your computer screen.

If schedule dictates
and our premium production service is unavailable,
consider one of the 2 types of dedication boards
(shown below).
STANDARD FOAM CORE / FILM
DEDICATION BOARD
This is a full size replica
of your plaque created by mounting a film negative
on a bronze colored 1/4" foam core board.
This will get you through your dedication in
a cost effective manner but it is NOT meant
to be permanently displayed as heat, light and
humidity will affect the product over time.
(The walnut background is for
display only)
PREMIUM LASER ENGRAVED DEDICATION
BOARD
This handsome laser engraved
brass plaque, mounted on solid walnut, makes
an ideal gift for an honoree or may be permanently
displayed indoors.
Depending upon the size of
the cast bronze plaque you order, this dedication
board may be scaled to fit available engraving
plate sizes. Please consult our designers.

BAS RELIEFS OF A PERSONS FACE - Custom sculpted
bas relief's can be done in as little as one week
using our rush service. Without the rush service,
we recommend allowing 8 to 12 weeks. You will get
the image of the clay model in 4 weeks and, if approved
immediately, you may get the completed plaque in
another 2 to 3 weeks. If you allow 12 weeks, you
have time to request changes to the bas - which
typically take another 2 to 3 weeks.
We strongly urge you NOT to schedule any ceremony
involving a cast plaque until you actually have
the plaque in your hand. Production times vary
depending upon when in the overall production
cycle the plaque
actually 'hits the foundry floor'. Delays can (and
do) occur that are out of our control including;
flawed castings that must be redone, shipping
damage, lost or delayed shipments, etc. Orders
can not be canceled and refunds will not be offered
for plaques whose delivery has been delayed.
