G'morning Kevin..
We go to our local grocery store and get their banana boxes (Sometimes if you are lucky you get a free banana) .. they are fairly big, and you can fit quite a few trophies in them.. We just line our trophies up, and place paper between the rows.
Never had any complaints so far!
and Congratulations with your first big trophy order!

I have a deal with a local plant nursery. 10 flat boxes for 1 name tag. Barter..... you can get 15-20 trophies in a box....that's one team or so. I use mable bases so I put the trophy in a cheap ( 500 for 4$) sandwich bag to keep the trophies from rubbing against each other + the parent can see the name plates without "Unwrapping" the items.

Hi Gang;
We wrap each award in tissue, then place in box..our competition just puts them in the box without wrapping anything around them to protect them. For the cost of tissue paper, (which we build into our price) I believe the percieved value is dramatically raised. I also believe it shows to the end user that we take pride in what we do. Just a thought.
Have a GREAT DAY!

Rob..
I completely understand what you are saying.. we USED to wrap all our awards in tissue as well..
But when it's April & May.. and all the school orders are trying to go out.. it's impossible to wrap each award.
Not to mention, when we deliver the awards to a school, the coach has to "unwrap" each trophy to see where/who they go to.
We have clear bags that we use for our trophies and plaques during that time.. that way, people can read through the plastic instead of taking them out..
We use our foam pouches for our high-end awards.

I haven't heard or seen clear wrapping on trophies... however I can def. see the benefit.....really I wasn't knocking the idea...just explaining what we do...so do you use like baggies or what exactly is the device.
Thanks

We put the trophies back to back with a sheet of paper between them so that the plates don't touch. Haven't had a complaint yet.
Good luck on that 1st order!
