Frequently asked questions

Price depends on size, board color, engraving and quantity. Awards run as low as $40 each in volume (100+ pieces). Single awards are welcome. Ordering a batch with individual names lowers the price per award, because we set up the design once and merge in each name.

There's no minimum for awards, so a single award is welcome. Bulk gifts start at $200 per design.

Bulk orders start at $200 per custom design. Price depends on quantity, size, colors and artwork.

Not individually online anymore, but we still make them in bulk, starting at $200 per design. Tell us the items and quantity you have in mind and we'll send a free quote.

Green is the industry standard. Blue, red, black and other colors are much rarer, so they cost more and supply can be limited.

Yes. Your design concept and quote are free, with no commitment.

Once you choose your concept and quote option, payment in full is required before we begin final design edits and your production-ready proof. A 50% deposit can be arranged on request.

Yes. We laser-engrave your logo in grayscale or print it in full color, and cut boards into custom shapes, from your logo's outline to a state map.

Yes. We print logos in full color (CMYK), so your brand colors stay consistent on every piece. Send vector artwork so we can match your colors and get the sharpest result.

Vector files (AI, EPS, SVG or PDF) work best. We can also work from PNG or JPG, but please send the highest-quality image you have. Low-resolution files may need cleanup, which can add a fee.

Yes. Send names in a spreadsheet, one row per award and one column per detail. We use it exactly as written, so check spelling first.

Yes. We can share sketches, renderings, board photos or a physical prototype. You can also order a free circuit board keychain and just pay shipping.

Yes. We ship to venues, offices and individual addresses, and can time delivery to your event. International orders are handled case by case and may need coordination with your customs broker.

Each piece is packaged and labeled individually so it's easy to hand out, using recycled packaging when possible.

Yes. White-label packaging leaves the TechWears name off, so gifts arrive looking like they came straight from your company. It's ideal for gifts to employees, clients and event attendees. We can add a note card or other items inside, too.

We make it right. If we make a mistake or something arrives broken, tell us right away and we'll send a replacement part or replace the whole piece at our expense. Errors in an approved proof are the buyer's responsibility, so check names, spelling and dates carefully before you approve.

Yes. We use pre-consumer circuit board panels left over from electronics manufacturing, often boards that failed quality control and would otherwise be scrapped.

Yes. We only use pre-consumer, RoHS-compliant (lead-free) circuit boards, so the materials are known and there are no soldered components or loose parts. Every piece goes through our finishing process for everyday handling. Recommended for ages 14 and up.

Not exactly. Our boards come from real electronics manufacturing runs, so traces, holes and shades of green vary from piece to piece. Photos show the style, size and color.

Yes. Awards come ready to display, either freestanding or with a sawtooth hanger for wall mounting.

Mostly circuit board, plus salvaged standoffs, heatsinks and cast acrylic where a design calls for them.

TechWears is a Northern Colorado manufacturer that designs and makes custom awards, bulk promotional gifts and commissioned art from reclaimed circuit boards. Founded in 2014 by Drew Johnson, we've made recognition pieces for organizations including DuPont, Workday and Harvard.

Event planners, organizations, conferences, STEM programs, nonprofits, museums and destination retailers, ordering anything from a single award to thousands of branded pieces.

Go big or go home. We love building at large scale, from lobby signs and donor walls to public art, and we offer on-site installation.

Commissions typically start at $5,000. We quote each one based on its size and scope.

The sooner the better. We take on one or two large commissions a year, so reaching out early is the best way to secure a spot.
