ETCHED SLATE COASTERS
Slate Coaster Awards – A Practical, Premium Alternative to Traditional Medals
Our Slate Coaster Awards offer a useful, contemporary alternative to traditional medals with ribbons, combining the natural weight and quality of slate with a design that recipients can enjoy long after the event has finished.
Crafted from natural slate and precision etched with your event artwork, these coasters provide the same sense of achievement and permanence as a medal, but in a form that is practical, displayable and used every day. They are an increasingly popular choice for events looking to move away from ribbons and lanyards while still presenting something meaningful and premium.
Designed as an Award, Made to Be Used
Each slate coaster award is:
100mm in diameter, offering a generous surface for logos, text, and event branding
Finished with soft protective feet, ensuring stability and protecting surfaces
The natural weight of slate gives the coaster a satisfying, substantial feel in the hand, reinforcing its status as a quality award rather than a disposable giveaway. Laser etching creates a permanent, high-contrast design that will not fade or wear over time.
Why Choose Slate Coaster Awards?
A Useful Alternative to Medal Ribbons
Unlike traditional medals that are often stored away, slate coaster awards are used regularly, keeping your event visible in everyday life.
Premium Weight & Quality
Slate has a naturally solid feel, giving these awards a sense of importance and value that participants immediately recognise.
Permanent Etched Design
Artwork is etched directly into the slate, ensuring a long-lasting finish with no inks or coatings to degrade.
Natural & Sustainable
Slate coaster awards provide a lower-impact alternative to metal medals, ideal for environmentally conscious events and organisations.
Perfect for sports events, club competitions, corporate challenges, charity events, and commemorative occasions, slate coaster awards work especially well where organisers want something different from a ribboned medal, but still meaningful, durable, and proudly kept.
If you’re looking for an award that reflects sustainability, quality, and thoughtful design — while offering genuine everyday usefulness — slate coaster awards are a distinctive and memorable choice.
