Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you ask.
How do schools and athletic departments order?
▼
Schools, school districts, and youth athletic departments order from us regularly. We accept
purchase orders, work on
NET 30 terms for institutional buyers, and process
tax-exempt orders with your exemption certificate on file. A
W-9 is available on request. Email
hello@skillzys.com with your PO or AP contact and we’ll set you up for the season.
Can I personalize each tag with player names or award titles?
▼
Yes. Variable data printing is one of the things Trophy Tags® are best at, names, award categories, dates, tournament details, all printed per tag. Just provide your data in a spreadsheet and our team handles the merge. Data merge fee is $35 per design.
Can I use my own artwork?
▼
Absolutely. Send us your artwork files (AI, PSD, PDF, or high-res PNG/JPG) and we’ll create a proof. If you need design help, our team can work with your logos and brand to create something custom, free of charge.
What’s the turnaround time?
▼
Standard production is 5–7 business days from final proof approval. 2–3 business day rush production is available, let us know your award ceremony date when you request a quote and we’ll work backward from there.
What about custom shapes, championship cups, medals, ribbons?
▼
Yes, that’s the Custom Shape section above. One-time die creation fee of $400–$750 (depending on intricacy) gets you a custom die that belongs to you for every future season. We’ve cut championship cup silhouettes, medal circles, ribbon banners, state outlines, and mascot shapes for programs across the US.
What are the production fees?
▼
$60 setup fee per order ($75 for foil, double foil, and 3D lenticular finishes). Version changes are $25 per design. Data merge (for variable names/awards/dates) is $35 per design. Custom die creation, when requested, is $400–$750 one-time. All other production charges are baked into the per-tag price shown in the configurator above.
How does partner pricing work for leagues running recurring award programs?
▼
Leagues, associations, and recurring tournament hosts that run season-long or multi-event award programs can apply for partner pricing, which offers discounted per-tag rates in exchange for simple Skillzys
® exposure at events.

Do you offer discounts for NGB members?
▼
Yes. Members of national governing bodies including USA Volleyball, USA Lacrosse, AAU, US Club Soccer, and others may qualify for discounted pricing on Trophy Tags
® orders. Mention your NGB affiliation when you request a quote and we’ll apply any available discount.

What finishes work best for premium award tags?
▼
For broad recognition (participation, finalists, team awards), Gloss or Matte is the canonical pick, clean, readable, professional. For top honors (MVP, championship, hall of fame), most programs upgrade to Foil (mirror, rainbow, sparkle, swirl) or 3D Lenticular for the depth/animation effect. The Sample Pack above lets you feel each finish before you commit.
