Custom Painted Ceremonial Shovels for Groundbreaking Ceremonies

Make your event colorful, branded, and personable with custom painted ceremonial shovels from Golden Openings. These shovels have been a favorite among companies, contractors, and developers who want to have a fully branded experience during their groundbreaking ceremony. Choose a ceremonial shovel in the color of your choice- red, blue, white, black and many more, can be matched to corporate palettes, sponsor branding or project themes.

We have long handle as well as D-handle ceremonial shovels, which offer flexibility in staging the event, display preferences and photo opportunities. Not only are our painted groundbreaking shovels beautiful to look at, but they can be customized further. Add engraving, decal, or vinyl wrap your company logo, project name, or event date. These are the finishing touches that turn a ceremonial tool into a long-term keepsake or gift to key stakeholders. Intended to be visually striking and ceremonial, every shovel has just the right amount of form and function.

Once the event is over, hang your painted shovel in a lobby, conference room or project office with one of our shovel display plaques or custom display cases. To complete your presentation, Golden Openings also provides matching ceremonial hard hats, custom sledgehammers, and other groundbreaking accessories to make your event coordinated and effective.
