Our standard production schedule is
to ship in 3-4 weeks (except custom sculpted bas relief's
- such as a persons face). Although some plaques on
our standard schedule go out sooner, you should use
our rush service if you MUST have
your order shipped in less than 4 weeks from the time
you approve your proof.
If needed, we can ship custom cast bronze
plaques - including those with a custom bas relief,
in a little as one week.

(*) Rush service is offered on a limited selection
of plaque:
colors, textures, finishes and borders.
(**) Minumums apply and expedited shipping such as
Next Day Air (if requested) is additional.
If schedule dictates
and our premium production service is unavailable,
consider a dedication board
(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.
These cost between $50 and $150.
(The walnut background is for
display only)
Alternately, at no additional cost
from us, we will send you a full size pdf file
of the plaque. You can then take this into
a local print facility (like Kinkos) and have
them print
it full size (we provide detailed instructions). They
typically charge $10 to $15.

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.
