A championship trophy needed by Saturday morning is a different job than a corporate award with three weeks of lead time, and Los Angeles trophy shops in this comparison split cleanly along that line. Between them the shops here have logged 278 Google reviews, and most sit at 4.5 stars or better, so the real differences show up in turnaround time and what they'll actually engrave, not in quality.
Short answer: House of Trophies and Awards, Inc. leads on volume with 4.8 stars across 94 reviews, known for fast engraving and fair prices in Boyle Heights. E & H Trophy & Engraving holds the top rating at 4.9 from 55 reviews for delicate custom engraving in Torrance, and Hollywood Trophy Co is a family shop dating to 1934 with a perfect 5.0 across 27 reviews. One House of Trophies customer reported paying under $20 for a basic engraved trophy.

Our take: Ranks last on this page mainly on review volume and one serious complaint. Solid for quick drinkware or watch engraving; ask more questions before committing to a bigger custom project.

Claim this spot › How we score
We rank using the live Google rating, how many customers left a review, how recently people are still reviewing, and how complete each business’s public listing is (site, phone, hours). No business can pay to change these numbers. A Featured Partner badge, where one exists, only affects placement, never the score itself.
How much does a trophy cost in Los Angeles? (2026)
Prices scale with material and engraving complexity. A simple plastic or resin trophy with a name plate is the cheapest option; crystal, glass, and metal pieces with custom laser work cost more. One House of Trophies customer described paying under $20 for a basic engraved trophy, but shops don’t publish rate cards, so it’s worth asking for a quote against your specific job.
| Job | Typical price |
|---|
| Basic engraved trophy with name plate (House of Trophies, per one customer review) | Under $20 |

Serving all of Los Angeles
This list covers shops from Boyle Heights and Hollywood to Torrance, Gardena, and Glendale, so wherever you’re searching from in LA County, one of these is a reasonable drive. Search “trophy shop near me” and expect a short trip if you’re anywhere in the central or South Bay area.
What to ask before you order a trophy
- Can you meet my deadline, and is same-day engraving available?
- What materials do you work with, plastic, crystal, metal, wood?
- Do you offer proofs before the final engraving is cut?
- What’s the price difference between pickup and shipping?
- Can you match a logo or design I already have?
- Is there a discount for bulk team or league orders?
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 trophy shops?
We compared shops with a real, public Google track record in the Los Angeles area, weighing their live rating, how many customers reviewed them, and how recently people are still leaving feedback.
How often is this updated?
We refresh this comparison periodically. As of August 2026, the ratings and review counts here reflect the live data pulled that month.
Can I get a trophy engraved same day in Los Angeles?
Several shops on this list, including House of Trophies and E & H Trophy & Engraving, have same-day turnaround for simple engraving jobs. Call ahead to confirm capacity, especially close to a weekend event.
Do trophy shops handle bulk orders for sports leagues?
Yes. Thompson Trophy Manufacturing and House of Trophies both have decades of experience supplying team and league trophies in volume, and can typically offer better per-unit pricing on larger orders.
The bottom line
For most people, House of Trophies and Awards is the safe default: fast, fairly priced, and the most-reviewed shop on this page. If the engraving job is unusual, delicate jewelry, a wood handle, a watch, call E & H or ICRAFTS first and ask if they can do it before you commit anywhere else.
