A leading expert in wakesurfing, wakeboarding, waterskiing and recreational boating in Florida, Nautique is one of our longest-running and most well respected clients.
One of our most recent projects with the Nautique team involved the design and building of their custom made 2017 Dealer Awards, given to the top 10 dealers of the Nautique wakeboarding boats in both the domestic and international categories.
Using blackbutt hardwood, our team of gifted designers created a striking, handmade and hand assembled design with laser cut acrylic elements.
Custom made to include a rectangular shape and angled details – ideal for displaying in the office or at home – we love the look of this uniquely customised Nautique award and always look forward to the next creative project from this legendary team of boating experts.

Here’s a little highlight reel from the 2018 Quiksilver and Roxy Pro. We created the custom timber veneered, layered acrylic awards for the guys over at the WSL (World Surfing League). We love this look for the competition down at Snapper Rocks! Congratulations to Lakey Peterson and Julian Wilson on the wins!

One of our most prestigious custom design projects, we were contacted to build a custom case for the 2012 London Olympics gold medal rowing team from Australia!
Designed specifically to be free standing or mounted on the wall, we chose an encapsulated veneer and Australian blackbutt timber frame for a classic, timeless look that paid homage to our Aussie heritage.
Laser etched elements were integrated to display the London Olympics logo, as well as the gold, silver and bronze medal finalists and their times, and UV printed acrylic was used for the Olympic rings on the top layer of the award case.
The gold medal was prominently displayed in the centre of the case, and two photos of the Australian team were displayed below for an added touch of sentimentality. We are thrilled to take part in honouring our local Olympians and gold medal winners, and know this custom case will be treasured for generations to come.

A successful boat building company in the heart of sunny Orlando, Florida, Nautique is one of our favourite long-term, U.S. based clients. With decades of experience in building custom wake and ski boats for clients across the world, Nautique recently contacted us to make their custom Wake for Warriors Appreciation Award and Nautique Service Award.
Partnering with Wake for Warriors, an organisation aimed at helping veterans by providing stress-free days on the water to connect, share and celebrate life, Nautique wished to award David Deep with a customised Appreciation Award for his years of dedication. In addition, Bill Snook was recognised with a custom built award honouring his 34 years of service to the Nautique brand.
Seeking a chic, classic and long-lasting award, our team hand built and assembled the two custom awards from hardwood veneer, using custom acrylic laser cutting and UV printing for detailed design elements that went above and beyond. The laser etched back with the Nautique logo and fun design added a unique twist, and the recipients were beyond thrilled with the result.

Located on a 40 hectare campus in the lush Gold Coast hinterland, the All Saints Anglican School celebrates ‘Growing through Grace, Learning through Love.’
Recently enlisted to design a series of custom awards for the recipients of the All Saints Pegasus Awards, a creative writing competition for students, we pulled out all the stops to design a long-lasting piece that would act as a source of pride for both the students and their families for years to come.
Taking inspiration from the pegasus, we utilised laser cut acrylic practices along with UV printed elements to design the multi-coloured pegasus, competition name and All Saints School logo. The 2 pack bases added a sturdy and modern design to the awards, and we were more than pleased with the outcome of the project.
It was excellent to participate in the recognition of our local student population by designing these awards, and we hope to partner with many more schools in the future for all of their custom design award needs.

The Queensland Training Awards are held annually in recognition of the varied achievements of the state’s top trainers, which is made up of apprentices, trainees, teachers, trainers, vocational students, training providers, community-based organisations and employers.
Now in its 55th year, the awards celebration is Queensland’s top honour for individuals and organisations striving for success, utilising the best practices in training, and innovation in vocational education and training (VET). With 14 categories, the awards represent everything wonderful about VET across Queensland.
A truly prestigious award, nominees for individual and employer categories first compete at a regional level before moving on to compete against other regional members, then at the state level, then finally at the national level as part of the Australian Training Awards. Regional areas for the Queensland Training Awards consist of Tropical North Queensland, North Queensland, Central Queensland, Darling Downs South West, North Coast, Metropolitan and South East.
Seeking quality, handmade awards for these deserving trainers, we were contacted to create custom awards for their recent 2017 ceremony. With a solid timber base and hardwood timber veneer, we also used a cnc router and UV printed laser cut acrylic for added design elements. Each award was hand assembled by our talented team members, and proudly awarded to the many amazing trainers across Queensland.
For more information or a custom award design request, please get in touch and we’d be happy to help.

A long time client we’re always proud to partner with, Nautique is a successful boat building company based in Orlando, Florida. Focusing primarily on powerboats used for waterskiing and wakeboarding throughout the United States, Nautique is one of the top trusted companies for custom designed, world class wake boats in the southern United States.
Valuing a rugged, stylish aesthetic that matches the power and thrill of their line of high end powerboats, we have previously collaborated with Nautique to create custom solid timber awards for the 2016 U.S. Open of Water Skiing as well as the Nautique 2016 Big Dawg World Tour, which kicks off in Florida before continuing on to Spain, North Carolina, California, and West Palm Beach.
Drawing inspiration from their innovative powerboat aesthetic, we were once again tasked with creating a custom award for the Nautique 2016 Dealer Awards. Constructed from solid hardwood, we decided to implement full laser etching on the back, creating a stylish, attention-grabbing pattern. Our expert team members also used laser cut UV printed elements and off-center, leaning shape to create a winning, memorable custom award design.

Here at Potato Press, we love any opportunity to work with hardwood timber, so when we were contacted to create a custom award for the 2017 Dude-A-Palooza Awards, we jumped at the chance to participate!
Celebrating accomplishments in fishing, the hilariously named Dude-A-Palooza trophies were designed to include such accolades as the ‘Moby Dick Award,’ and were created with printed timber 3D elements, such as the fish near the top of the trophy. Using native Blackbutt hardwood timber for a clean, aesthetically-pleasing finish, these custom trophies were constructed with laser cut acrylic and UV printed custom veneers.
Final details of the design included matte black painted timber, as well as an acrylic name plate with printed details and red, laser cut text for an added pop of colour.
We hope our client had a wonderful celebration, and we look forward to helping you design your next custom trophy or award. Simply get in touch via the website or give us a call!
