Being Value Driven

For over 40 years, Glassical Designs has been a beacon of integrity, innovation, and excellence in the awards and recognition industry. From humble beginnings to becoming a premium supplier with a legacy of crafting meaningful recognition programs, our journey is driven by the core values that define us: People before Things and Integrity over Profit.

Our Values in Action

At Glassical Designs, these guiding principles influence every decision we make. We prioritize relationships, not just transactions. Whether it’s our employees, clients, or charitable partners, we are committed to treating people with respect, honesty, and kindness. When faced with challenges, we choose integrity over short-term gains, ensuring that we honor every promise we make—even if it comes at a cost.

One memorable example of this commitment involved a client’s annual awards banquet. Our team realized that the awards packaging was not up to our usual high standards. Despite the cost and effort, we repackaged everything to ensure a flawless presentation and covered expedited shipping costs to meet the client’s deadline. This is who we are: a company that always strives for excellence, no matter the circumstances.

Excellence Is Our Standard

For us, excellence is more than a word; it’s a way of life. Every department at Glassical Designs is committed to delivering the best possible solutions for our clients. From the initial consultation to the final delivery, we leave no detail unchecked. Our well-trained and highly motivated team members are the foundation of our success. We ensure their growth through clear communication, thorough training, and a shared commitment to excellence.

By keeping all aspects of production in-house, we maintain strict quality control at every step. From design mock-ups to production and shipping, our hands-on approach ensures precision, reliability, and on-time delivery—every time.

Innovation That Inspires

The awards and recognition industry has evolved, and so have we. While we began with sand-carved crystal and glass awards, we now offer cutting-edge options like UV-printed acrylic, custom shapes, and branded designs. Our investment in top-tier technology ensures we remain at the forefront of the industry, providing clients with innovative and high-quality solutions.

Unlike brokers, who act as salespeople for themselves and rely on manufacturers that don’t directly interface with the end user, we take pride in handling everything in-house. Brokers often attempt to convey control over the outcome of award orders, but their reliance on external manufacturers limits their ability to deliver the personalized and seamless service we provide. At Glassical Designs, our in-house production ensures unparalleled care, responsiveness, and quality, enabling us to meet and exceed client expectations. It’s no wonder our clients stay with us for decades; they know they can trust us to deliver both exceptional products and exceptional service.

A Culture of Service

Our approach isn’t just about delivering products; it’s about creating lasting relationships. We believe that giving more than we take is a cornerstone of success. By understanding our clients’ unique needs and going above and beyond to meet them, we’ve built a reputation as a company that truly cares.

This philosophy extends to our charitable efforts as well. Glassical Designs proudly supports organizations like Teen Challenge and Royal Family Kids’ Camps by providing free awards for their fundraising events. These partnerships reflect our belief in using our resources to make a positive impact beyond the business world.

Why Clients Choose Glassical Designs

Glassical Designs isn’t just a company; it’s a family that believes in making a difference—for our clients, our employees, and our community.
