About
Our Acrylic
Commemorative
Gifts

Acrylic commemorative items are personalised keepsakes, built to hold a special moment in lasting form, from coin encapsulations to plaques and presentation boxes. Unlike standard awards, commemorative items aren’t necessarily tied to winning a competition; they’re created to celebrate, honour or remember a person, place, time or event. These durable, unique pieces can be made with laser etching and full colour printing.

Why Commemorative Gifts are so Valuable

We think of our commemorative gifts as time capsules, preserving meaningful objects over time. They offer you a way to mark a moment that matters to the recipient, keeping its significance alive for years to come. 

Our team can help you create a perfect gift, designing it to bring a smile to the recipient’s face when they receive it and building it to last for a very long time in their home or office. Whether you’re looking to celebrate an individual or a group’s achievement, a well-designed acrylic gift is the perfect way to mark the occasion.

We create bespoke acrylic commemorative gifts to celebrate and preserve important business milestones, including:

  • Company anniversaries and business milestones
  • Mergers, acquisitions and corporate partnerships
  • Deal completions and financial transactions
  • Product launches and brand marketing campaigns
  • Groundbreaking and topping-out ceremonies
  • Project completion and manufacturing milestones
  • Employee recognition and long-service awards
  • Limited-edition VIP and stakeholder gifts
  • Conference and event commemoratives
  • Sports and event partnerships

Frequently Asked Questions About Commemorative Gifts

Can I include photos on an acrylic commemorative gift?

Yes, we can customise your acrylic gift to include photos. High-quality images can be printed or engraved onto the acrylic surface or encapsulated in the material for a stunning visual effect.

Can I get fully bespoke shapes and sizes for my personalised acrylic plaques?

Yes. Most of our plaques are fully bespoke, cut and sized to match your exact project. Our team will work with you to design a shape, size and finish that’s entirely your own.

How long does Midton take to create a custom acrylic gift?

It typically takes a few days to a couple of weeks to create a personalised acrylic commemorative gift. The production time may vary depending on the complexity of the design and customisation. 

How do I care for and clean an acrylic commemorative gift?

Cleaning our acrylic gifts is straightforward. Use a soft cloth or microfiber cloth to gently wipe the surface. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or rough materials that may scratch the acrylic.

GAY TIMES has worked with Midton twice now, and on both occasions they went above and beyond to make it an easy process for us. And, of course, on both occasions we were absolutely delighted by the awards they created for our flagship LGBTQ+ event. We can’t wait to work with them on our next idea!
