What is the 1.5" x 3.5" Silver Mini Aluminum Easel for 4" x 4" and 5" x 7" Photo Panels?
1.5" x 3.5" Silver Mini Aluminum Easel for 4" x 4" and 5" x 7" Photo Panels. A photo panel in aluminum, specified for decoration and for daily use rather than for a display shelf. It measures 1 1/2" x 3 1/2" x .040" thick. This is the silver colorway.
Worth knowing before you order: aluminum gives you a metal look and metal durability at a fraction of the weight, and it matters when you are shipping several hundred units..
The image is fused into the surface rather than printed on top, so it will not yellow, peel or scratch off the way a mounted print does. That is why these outlast framed photography on a lobby wall. Laser engraving cuts through the anodised layer to bright metal. Sublimation-coated aluminum also accepts full-color photographic printing. The two together are why this item re-orders.
At this level the item is buying attention rather than gratitude. Order enough to be generous with it, because restraint here saves very little and costs reach. Concretely: $5.07 each at 1-11, $3.14 at 500+.

Decoration options
The decoration method is chosen to match the substrate, which is why the mark is permanent rather than printed on top of it. Standard imprint area on this item is 1 in x 2 in.
Laser Engraving
A focused laser removes the surface layer to expose the substrate beneath. A permanent, high-contrast, single-color mark with no ink involved.
Best for
Logos, names, dates and fine text. The default choice when the mark has to outlive the campaign.
Color
Single color: the natural color of the material under the surface.
Dye Sublimation
Heat converts solid dye to gas, which bonds into a polyester coating or ceramic glaze. Full-color artwork embedded in the surface rather than sitting on top of it.
Best for
Full-wrap photographic decoration on mugs, coated drinkware and coated metal.
Color
Full color. Cannot print white. The substrate supplies white.
UV Printing
UV-cured ink is jetted directly onto the product and cured instantly under ultraviolet light. Full-color, photographic-quality artwork with hard edges and no dot gain.
Best for
Multi-color logos, gradients, photographs and exact brand-color matching.
Color
Full color, including white ink on dark substrates.
Artwork requirements
- Supply Pantone (PMS) references for any color that has to match exactly.
- Convert all type to outlines so fonts do not substitute in production.
- If the logo is only available as a bitmap, we need it at 300 dpi or better at final size, ideally on a transparent background.
- If brand color accuracy matters, give us the Pantone numbers rather than a screenshot to match.
- Do not spend a week hunting for the perfect file. Send what exists and we will tell you what is usable.
- Outline your fonts before sending. It removes the most common cause of a proof coming back wrong.

Common uses
Recognition wallsA natural fit for recognition walls, which is one of the settings this photo panel was specified for.
Donor and founder displaysBuilt for donor and founder displays. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Milestone and retirement giftsWorks well for milestone and retirement gifts, where the photo panel format does what a printed handout cannot.
Remote team welcome kitsShipped to a home address, which for a distributed team is the only physical touch the company gets.
Renewal and retention giftsTimed to the contract date rather than the calendar, which is when the recipient is actually paying attention.
Sponsorship and partner thanksGiven to the people who funded or enabled the work, in a form they can keep visible.
Recruiting and onboardingIncluded in offer packs and first-day kits, where the object is doing culture work from the very first hour.
Where this works best
The same item lands differently depending on who gets it and why. Here is how this one performs across the programs it sells into most.
1
Employee Recognition & Service Awards
Recognition fails when the object does not match the words. The presentation matters as much as the piece. An award handed over in a hallway is worth a fraction of the same award presented in front of the team, which means the object should be specified for the moment it will be photographed in, not the shelf it ends on. Order deep. At this price the waste of a few extra is cheaper than running short.
2
Nonprofit & Fundraising
Every pound spent on a donor gift is a pound not spent on the mission, so the gift has to earn it. Volunteer recognition is where the money works hardest. Volunteers give time that would otherwise cost you wages, and the marginal cost of thanking them properly is trivial against what their continued involvement is worth. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. Volume is the point at $5.07; nobody is auditing this line item.
3
Education, Schools & Universities
Education buys in waves: orientation, homecoming, graduation, staff appreciation. Budgets are tight and quantities are large, which pushes toward mid-tier items ordered in volume. Alumni and donor gifting is the exception: that is where the spend per unit rises sharply, because the return is measured in gifts rather than impressions. The image is fused into the surface rather than printed on top, so it will not yellow, peel or scratch off the way a mounted print does. That is why these outlast framed photography on a lobby wall. Cost per impression is the number that matters here, and it is very low.
4
Healthcare & Senior Living
Healthcare buyers screen for practicality and hygiene before they screen for design. Shift work changes the specification. Items are carried between home, locker and ward, so anything that leaks, breaks or cannot go through a dishwasher gets abandoned within a fortnight regardless of how good it looked at the point of purchase. Laser engraving cuts through the anodised layer to bright metal. Sublimation-coated aluminum also accepts full-color photographic printing. Cheap enough to over-order slightly, which is the right call for a table.
5
Real Estate & Closing Gifts
A closing gift is a referral instrument, not a thank-you note. Agents re-order what generates conversations, not what photographs well. Track which pieces prompt a referral call and the item list narrows quickly to two or three things worth stocking properly. The photo panel format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. At this price the risk is under-ordering, not over-ordering.
6
Faith & Community Organizations
Faith communities give to mark moments rather than to advertise. Baptisms, confirmations, ordinations, volunteer milestones and building dedications all call for keepsakes carrying a name and a date. Understated decoration outperforms bold branding almost every time in this segment. Down to $3.14 at volume, which is where this stops being a cost.
7
Corporate Gifting & Client Appreciation
Client gifting has one job: to be kept. Timing beats budget in this segment. The same gift sent a week after a renewal lands completely differently from one sent in December with four hundred others, because in January it is the only thing on the desk. Buy for the calendar you control rather than the one everybody shares. Aluminum gives you a metal look and metal durability at a fraction of the weight, and it matters when you are shipping several hundred units.. Buy for coverage. The arithmetic rewards it and the budget will not notice.

The published ladder on CLXM4220 runs from $5.07 a piece at 1-11 down to $3.14 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

We replace damaged pieces. Send a photograph and the item number within 10 days of delivery and we handle the carrier claim ourselves.

Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. CLXM4220 sells from a single unit at $5.07, the first rung of its published ladder, so a sample is simply a normal order. A decorated single piece goes through the same proof as a full run.
Can I see a proof before you produce the order?
Yes, and nothing runs until you have signed it off. Read it properly rather than skimming, because the approved proof is the specification we produce against. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.
