What is the Swimming Triad Resin?
Catalogued as TRD111, this trophy sits in the part of the range that gets re-ordered rather than tried once. It measures 5 1/2".
Casting is what allows shapes, figures, sport-specific sculpts, dimensional forms, that simply cannot be cut from crystal or metal at a comparable price. It is the reason resin dominates youth sport and participation awards.
Trophies photograph well, that matters when the award is going to be posted before it is shelved. Decoration is applied to an engraving plate or a printed plate fitted to the base, not to the sculpt itself.
The middle of the range, and the part of it that does the most work. Good enough that people keep it, cheap enough that you can cover an entire department. Concretely: $17.75 each at 1-11, $11.01 at 500+.

Artwork requirements
- A 300 dpi raster at the actual imprint dimensions will run cleanly. Anything pulled from a web page usually will not.
- If the logo is only available as a bitmap, we need it at 300 dpi or better at final size, ideally on a transparent background.
- If brand color accuracy matters, give us the Pantone numbers rather than a screenshot to match.
- Do not spend a week hunting for the perfect file. Send what exists and we will tell you what is usable.
- Convert all type to outlines so fonts do not substitute in production.
Production schedule

|---|---|
| Production, standard | 3 to 5 business days, counted from your approval |

Common uses
Where this works best
The same item lands differently depending on who gets it and why. Here is how this one performs across the programs it sells into most.
Education, Schools & Universities
Education buys in waves: orientation, homecoming, graduation, staff appreciation. Budgets are tight and quantities are large, which pushes toward mid-tier items ordered in volume. Alumni and donor gifting is the exception: that is where the spend per unit rises sharply, because the return is measured in gifts rather than impressions. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. Roughly 38% comes off between one piece and a full run.
Employee Recognition & Service Awards
Recognition fails when the object does not match the words. The presentation matters as much as the piece. An award handed over in a hallway is worth a fraction of the same award presented in front of the team, which means the object should be specified for the moment it will be photographed in, not the shelf it ends on. An imprint area of 2.1 in x 2.75 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. At $17.75 before breaks this is the tier most programmes should live in.
Weddings, Reunions & Milestone Events
Personal events are the one segment where the recipient genuinely wants the item personalized. Guests keep what they can use and discard what merely commemorates. An item that works on an ordinary Tuesday will outlive the event by years; one that only makes sense on the day will not survive the drive home. Good enough to be kept, affordable enough to order in real quantity.
Sports Leagues, Tournaments & Clubs
Sport needs volume, deadlines and a clear hierarchy of awards. Participation medals for the field, distinct pieces for placegetters, and something with real presence for the overall champion. Production timing is usually the binding constraint, so lock artwork well before the event rather than after the results are known. This is the sweet spot: real perceived value without a procurement conversation.

What do buyers ask about TRD111?
How should this be cared for?
Dust with a soft dry cloth. TRD111 measures 5 1/2" and is made of resin. Casting is what allows shapes, figures, sport-specific sculpts, dimensional forms, that simply cannot be cut from crystal or metal at a comparable price. We keep the approved artwork on file against the item number, so a re-order runs from the same file.
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on TRD111 is 2.1 in x 2.75 in. If your mark does not sit well in that shape we redraw or re-proportion it and show you the result on the proof before anything is produced. Engraving is charged on the share of the area your artwork covers, so a smaller mark costs less.
Can I mix colors or sizes to reach a quantity break?
Yes, provided the artwork stays the same across the run. Different artwork is fine as well: it gets its own proof, and setup stays free. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. The published ladder on TRD111 runs from $17.75 a piece at 1-11 down to $11.01 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
What does it actually cost at quantity?

Engraving is a separate line, shown per quantity in the cost table on this page, so the all-in figure is visible before checkout. Ground freight is free on orders over $250.
Do you ship to multiple addresses?
Yes, through a quote. Card checkout ships one order to one address, so for a split run send the address list with a quote request and we confirm the freight for every destination in writing before you pay. The artwork is proofed once and applied across the whole run. Ground freight is free on orders over $250.
Can I order more later and have them match?
Yes. We keep the approved artwork on file against the item number, so a re-order runs from the same file. Material batches can vary slightly on natural materials, which is worth knowing if color matching across orders is critical. The published ladder on TRD111 runs from $17.75 a piece at 1-11 down to $11.01 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
How is this decorated?
Laser Engraving (plate) is the primary method on TRD111. The engraving plate is lasered, then fitted to the award. A permanent engraved plate on a cast body.
