5 Best Trophy Shops in New York (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Talise Sterling, Goods and Shopping · ✓ Data verified July 2026 · 7 min read

The season ends Saturday and there's still no trophy for the MVP. Or a retirement is next week and someone needs an engraved plaque by Friday. New York's trophy shops range from a massive online manufacturer to small storefronts that will turn around a custom piece the same afternoon.

Short answer: Crown Awards tops this list with a 4.8 average across 1,885 reviews, by far the largest and most reviewed option, though it ships from a warehouse rather than serving walk-in customers. For in-person shops that will design and engrave a piece while you wait, Trophy World Inc. and New Dimension Inc are the stronger Brooklyn picks.

Crown Awards

4.81,885 Google reviews

Crown Awards calls itself America's largest awards manufacturer, and the review count backs it up: an online catalog covering more than 500 sports and categories, from trophies and medals to crystal awards and custom pins, all shipped from its Hawthorne, New York headquarters. The company runs its own engraving in-house and advertises free trophy engraving alongside guaranteed low prices. This isn't a walk-in storefront, it's an order-online-and-ship operation built for volume.

What people praise

Reviewers consistently praise trophy quality and weight, calling pieces better than expected for the price
Fast turnaround, several reviewers had custom orders shipped within days
Customer service (Raya gets a specific mention) replaced a damaged plaque overnight with no hassle
Massive category selection covering niche sports and occasions

Our take: With nearly 1,900 reviews at a 4.8 average, Crown Awards has more proof of consistent service than the rest of this list combined. It's the pick if you're ordering online and don't need to see the piece before it ships.

Crown Trophy Bronx

4.7143 Google reviews

Crown Trophy Bronx is a walk-in shop on E Tremont Avenue handling trophies, engraving, banners, and promotional products for local teams, schools, and businesses. Despite the similar name, it's a separate business from Crown Awards above, part of the wider Crown Trophy franchise network rather than the same manufacturer. Reviewers describe a personal, neighborhood feel, staff who remember repeat customers and go out of their way on small gestures.

What people praise

Staff remembered returning customers and added personal touches to orders
Handled a sensitive request, a memorial plaque, with patience and care
Quick, friendly service for both custom plaques and standard team trophies

Worth knowing

A few older reviews mention longer waits on bigger custom orders, worth calling ahead to confirm turnaround before a tight deadline

Our take: The Bronx pick for anyone who wants to see and approve a piece in person rather than order sight unseen. Fewer reviews than the top spot, but the personal service comes through clearly.

Trophy World Inc.

4.859 Google reviews

Trophy World has run a storefront on Livingston Street in Brooklyn for years, offering custom trophies, engraving, and sign work alongside a side business in promotional products and apparel. Several reviewers describe walking in with an unusual request, a specific sports achievement, a liquor bottle engraving, custom pins for a law school honor society, and getting it designed and produced on a tight timeline.

What people praise

Handled a two-day custom design turnaround for a non-standard trophy request
Staff, Valeri and Peter named repeatedly, described as patient and hands-on with design choices
Same-day trophy and medal engraving available
Praised for reasonable prices relative to the custom work involved

Engrave-It

4.574 Google reviews

Engrave-It, inside Jersey City's Newport Mall, is primarily a general engraving and embroidery shop rather than a dedicated trophy retailer. Its own listing covers watches, glassware, jewelry, wedding knives, and Yeti mugs alongside trophy and plaque engraving, plus embroidery on hats, jackets, and towels. It fits if you need one item engraved fast, less so if you're outfitting an entire team.

What people praise

Fast, same-day turnaround on individual engraving jobs
Staff described as patient with custom design requests
Handles both engraving and embroidery under one roof

Worth knowing

One reviewer described uneven engraving on a water bottle and felt the issue wasn't acknowledged, worth inspecting the work before leaving the counter

Our take: This one showed up in trophy shop results because it does trophy and plaque engraving, but it's really a broader personalization shop. Good for a single quick piece, not the first call for a bulk team order.

New Dimension Inc

4.853 Google reviews

New Dimension has run as a family business in Brooklyn for more than 40 years, per one longtime customer, handling trophies, plaques, screen printing, and promotional products from its 11th Avenue location. Reviewers describe it as a go-to for large corporate orders under real time pressure, including one account of producing conference plaques and trophies within three days after another vendor fell through.

What people praise

Saved multiple reviewers on last-minute deadlines with fast turnaround on large orders
Owners Joe and Victoria get repeat, specific praise from long-term clients
Quality control described as consistent, one reviewer said the shop never makes mistakes
Handles both trophies and related promotional or print work in one place

Worth knowing

One reviewer noted pricing runs a little higher than competitors for comparable plaque work

How we score

Rating is the live Google average pulled directly from each listing. Review volume tracks how many customers actually left feedback, since more people vouching by name is a stronger signal than a handful of five-star ratings. Confidence combines the two, so a high average built on hundreds of reviews outranks the same average built on a dozen. Recency checks how many reviews are recent, rewarding a shop that’s still earning fresh praise. No business can pay to change any of these numbers.

How much do custom trophies and awards cost in New York? (2026)

Pricing depends heavily on the piece, its size, the material (metal, crystal, and acrylic all price differently), and whether it needs simple engraving text or a fully custom design. We didn’t find a current, citable local pricing source specific to New York trophy shops, so treat any figure you see elsewhere with caution and ask each shop for a written quote based on your exact order.

Serving trophy and award orders across the city

Crown Awards ships nationwide from Hawthorne, so location in the city isn’t really a factor there. For in-person shops, Crown Trophy Bronx, Trophy World, and New Dimension cover the Bronx and Brooklyn, while Engrave-It sits just across the river in Jersey City’s Newport Mall. Wherever you’re searching from in the metro area, at least one of these is a reasonable drive or a next-day shipment away.

What to ask before you order a trophy or award

Is the price based on a catalog piece or a fully custom design?
What’s the turnaround time for engraving, and does that change during busy seasons like graduation or year-end sports?
Can you see a proof of the engraving text before it’s finalized?
Do they handle rush orders, and is there an extra fee?
What materials are available (metal, crystal, acrylic), and how does pricing change between them?
Is delivery or shipping included, or do you need to pick up in person?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these five?

We compared every trophy and award-related business with a real Google presence in New York and ranked by rating, review volume, and recency of feedback.

How often is this updated?

We last verified this data in July 2026.

Is Crown Trophy Bronx the same company as Crown Awards?

No. They share a similar name but operate as separate businesses. Crown Awards is a large online manufacturer, and Crown Trophy Bronx is an independent local storefront.

Can I get a trophy engraved the same day?

Several shops on this list, including Trophy World and Engrave-It, mention same-day turnaround for individual pieces. Call ahead to confirm, especially during busy seasons.

The bottom line

For most orders, Crown Awards’ size and review volume make it the safe default, especially if you’re comfortable ordering online. If you’d rather walk in, see the piece, and talk through engraving text with a person, Trophy World or New Dimension are the stronger local picks. Either way, confirm your deadline in writing before committing to a rush order.
