Pricing Policy for
Sand Carved Awards

Unit Pricing: The pricing of items shown on our web site are for single items. Surface etching of up to three lines of text costs $20. These three lines typically contain the recipients name, award date, and event. Additional lines incur a charge of $10.00 each. This quantity of text is typically adequate for most crystal objects so as not to obscure the natural beauty of the object.

24k Gold Fill:Shading (filling) the sandcarving with 24k gold increases the above sandcarving prices by 50% (e.g. Surface etching of up to three lines of text with gold fill costs $30)

Artwork and Logos: Sandcarving of artwork and logos are an integral part of corporate award and gift programs. Sandcarving charges for these items must be quoted separately after Plaxx reviews the proposed artwork. It is typically $25 for sandcarving.

Artwork charges for converting provided vector art for sandcarving incur a minimum charge of $25. This is a one time charge. Set up is retained from year to year. It must be in vector format and comply with these specifications. The determination of whether or not your artwork is usable for sandcarving is at the sole discretion of Plaxx. Artwork must be submitted via Email to the address at the bottom of this page. After receipt of your artwork, Plaxx will advise you if your artwork is considered acceptable for sandcarving. If it is not acceptable, you will be provided a quotation and an opportunity to purchase the service from Plaxx.

Item Setup Charges: There is a $60 set up charge for each unique item sandcarved.

Sandcarving Techniques: The prices quotes are for surface etching. Where other techniques are requested such as deep etching, multi stage carving, shading, color filling, etc. a custom quotation is required.

Cancellation: Once accepted by Plaxx, orders can not be canceled.

Production time: Sandcarving is an artform and as such, production time is dependent upon the complexity of the artwork and the piece being sandcarved. Production time is typically 10 to 15 business days.

Shipping: To assure safe delivery of your finished sandcarved crystal, we only ship these items via UPS Standard Overnight as this minimizes rough handling of delicate crystal.

Rush Orders: A charge of twenty (20) percent of the order (minimum of $25.) will be charged on any sandcarving order where shipment is required in less than 10 working days. The absolute minimum production time that can be accommodated is 5 working days from receipt of order to shipping. This special service incurs a $250 fee in addition to the 20% rush fee. Although we guarantee this production time WE CAN NOT GUARANTEE THAT UPS DELIVERS IN THE TIME PROMISED.
