How to Order & FAQ

Welcome to the home of stunning crystal awards, trophies and gifts.

At Laser Crystal we make it our business to take the hassle out of ordering your crystal pieces and corporate awards – quite simply just brief us your requirements and we do the rest.

Take a look at our crystal inspiration gallery to get ideas from some of our previous crystal creations.

Step 1 – Quote

Simply tell us your requirements and we will send you a quote with a selection of different crystal shape ideas.

To provide a quote, ideally we need to know:

  • the quantity of pieces
  • a rough budget or shape / size of crystal
  • an idea of the 3D design – so we know the complexity of artwork to be created
  • any personalisation requirements e.g. winner names, categories etc. or colour print required
  • your delivery date

There is NO minimum order quantity – from a one off crystal piece to thousands of pieces we have the production capability to meet even the tightest deadlines.  Urgent orders can also be accommodated.

Step 2 – Artwork & Design

Once you’re happy with your quote our creative design team will produce some 3D visuals for you to have a look at.

In order to show you how your finished Laser Crystal will look we create a 3D visual of the crystal piece with your bespoke design inside so you can view this from a number of different angles. For larger orders we can provide a pre-production crystal piece for final approval.

Step 3 – Technology & Manufacturing

We use the very latest laser technology and 3D software to create each intricately detailed 3D design. Every 3D crystal art piece is created using the power of laser light to form a series of microdots within the crystal. By controlling the movement of the beam and the microdot density, we can produce an intriguing and finely detailed design.

Laser Crystal has the production capacity to deal with individual pieces; as well as large volume runs – using our 24 hour automated production facility.

Step 4 – Delivery

We deliver your crystal pieces both in the UK or anywhere in the world.

Artwork Requirements

Text & logo

In order to create your visual, please supply any wording in the body of an email or as a word document.

We have thousands of fonts available to us but if you require a specific corporate font please supply this to us. All fonts should be converted to outlines.

Winner Names

These can be supplied in an email or a word or excel document.

Creating 3D CAD Models

Our in-house artwork team create your design in 3D and the more information you can supply to them the better, and the more accurate the model will be. We can work from a combination of photos, drawings or even use the product itself – if there are any information gaps we can generally obtain what we need from the internet.

If you are supplying a 3D CAD model to us we can accept most formats including : OBJ, DXF, IGES, STL, 3DS.

Supplying Artwork

If you would like to supply your own artwork or layout to us, please provide this as a vectored Illustrator file with a PDF for reference. Please also ensure that all fonts are converted to outlines and allow at least 3mm clearance from the edge of the crystal piece. If you need any help with a template please let us know.
