How Much Do Trophies Cost in the UK?
How much do trophies cost? The honest answer is anywhere from a couple of pounds to a few hundred, depending on what you choose. A small resin figure for an under-8s presentation and a crystal award for a company's long-service dinner are very different purchases.
To give you real numbers rather than vague ranges, this guide uses the prices from our own catalogue of over 900 products. It shows what trophies, medals, cups, glass awards and plaques typically cost, explains what pushes prices up or down, and shows how bulk discounts change the maths for clubs, schools and events.
Typical trophy prices by type
The list below summarises price ranges across our catalogue. The typical figure is the median, meaning half the products in that category cost less and half cost more. All prices are catalogue prices before any bulk discount.
- Trophies (805 items): £2.00 to £120.00, typically around £8.
- Medals (56 designs): £1.25 to £9.75, typically around £2.

- Laser-engraved glass: around £20 to £68.50; prestige glass typically around £175.
Trophy prices by sport
Prices vary by sport because some sports have more elaborate designs than others. Here are the ranges for some of the most popular sports in our catalogue, again before discount.

What drives the cost of a trophy?
Two trophies that look similar online can be quite different in price. These are the main factors.
- Size – taller trophies use more material and usually cost more. Ranges often come in several heights.
- Material – resin and plastic are the most affordable; metal cups sit in the middle; glass and crystal cost the most.
- Design detail – sculpted figures, colour-filled detail and multi-tier designs cost more than simple shapes.
- Base – a heavier or larger base adds stability and cost.
- Engraving and logos – free engraving is included on qualifying orders, while custom logos or bespoke designs can add cost.
- Quantity – larger orders unlock progressive discounts and lower the per-item price.
- Urgency – express turnaround options are available for urgent orders, so ask about cost and timing.
How bulk discounts work
Our pricing promise is simple: we beat catalogue prices, and the bigger your order, the bigger your discount. Progressive discounts apply at roughly 25+, 50+ and 100+ items.
That's why it often pays to combine orders. A football club with ten teams, a school with several sports days or a league with multiple divisions will usually get a better per-item price by ordering together rather than separately. Even mixing products, such as trophies and medals in the same order, can help you reach the next tier.
Example budgets
These rough examples use typical catalogue prices before discount, so your actual quote is likely to be lower for larger orders.
- Junior football team of 12: 12 medals at around £2 each plus three named trophies at around £11 each – roughly £57 before discount.
- Primary sports day for 210 pupils: 210 participation medals at around £2 – roughly £420 before a significant bulk discount.
- Darts league presentation: eight trophies at around £10 each plus a league cup at around £25 – roughly £105.
- Corporate awards night: five laser-engraved glass awards at around £40 each – roughly £200.
What to check when comparing trophy quotes
When you compare prices between suppliers, make sure you're comparing the same thing. A low price per trophy can look very different once everything else is added. Ask each supplier for a total price for your complete order and check what it covers.
- Is engraving included, and is there a limit on lines or characters?
- Are logos or club crests charged separately?
- What does delivery cost, or can you collect?
- Is the quoted size the same height as the trophy you're comparing it with?
- When will the order realistically be ready, and is that confirmed?
How to get the best value
Decide your total budget first, then work out how many awards you need. Spend more on the headline awards and less on participation awards, and use graduated sizes from one range so everything looks consistent. Medals are a cost-effective alternative to small trophies when you need an award for every player, pupil or runner.
Our full Trendsetting Awards 2026 catalogue is viewable on the site too, with hundreds more designs. If you spot something you like, send us the trophy number on WhatsApp and we'll quote for it. Iolo J. summed it up: “Very quick turnaround of the order and very reasonable prices.”
There's no online checkout – you'll get a free, no-obligation quote first, and payment or invoicing is arranged directly once you approve it.
