A Look at Our Traditional Wood Plaques

One of our finest and most classic choices is the gold and mahogany plaque. As our own Bob demonstrates in this short video, this design is ideal for celebrating something as storied as the Manchester Times, a Tennessee newspaper with nearly a century and a half of publishing history.

We also offer a black and silver plaque — a timeless choice that pairs beautifully with modern publications like Success Magazine. You can see this style featured in this clip.

Inside Our Custom-Built Operations

Craftsmanship doesn’t stop at the plaque itself. Our warehouse is where the real behind-the-scenes magic happens. As our Director of Operations, John, shows in this video, everything from packaging to shipping is customized for each order.

One of our favorite tools is the box machine. It creates custom-fit packaging by measuring, cutting, perforating, and folding boxes to match each plaque’s exact dimensions. This ensures a secure, snug fit every time.

Once packaged, plaques are wrapped, paired with hardware and order details, and shipped out with care. Thanks to this process, our damage rate stays impressively low — because we want your moment of pride to arrive looking perfect.


Why It Matters

At That’s Great News, a plaque isn’t just wood or metal it’s a milestone. A symbol of hard work, recognition, and success. That’s why every step of our process from material selection to shipping is done with pride and precision.

So whether you’re celebrating a company milestone, a media feature, or a personal achievement, we’re here to help preserve and showcase your story beautifully and professionally.
