What is the 1-Sided Gloss Aluminim Rectangle Sign with 2 Holes?
A working sign. Quality materials selected for decoration and everyday durability. It measures 12" x 18" x .025".
Built to survive real use rather than a single event, that is what separates a promotional item that keeps working from one that ends up in a drawer. That is the difference between something kept and something replaced.
Decoration method is matched to the substrate so the mark is permanent rather than printed on top. Signage is seen by every visitor without anyone having to hand it out.
At this price you are buying a reaction rather than an impression. That only works if the list is short enough for the gesture to feel deliberate. Concretely: $31.20 each at 1-11, $19.34 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 10 in x 10 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.
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
- Type should be converted to curves or outlines, otherwise a missing font silently substitutes on our end.
- Raster artwork should be at least 300 dpi at the finished imprint size, on a transparent or white background.
- 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.
- Send vector if you have it. A .ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg scales to any imprint without softening.
- Send the file you have, even if it is imperfect. We will tell you honestly whether it will hold up and redraw it if it will not.

Common uses
Wayfinding and office identificationBuilt for wayfinding and office identification. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Donor and sponsor boardsA natural fit for donor and sponsor boards, which is one of the settings this sign was specified for.
Retail signageA natural fit for retail signage, which is one of the settings this sign was specified for.
Executive and board giftingShort lists, individual personalization, and a piece that survives scrutiny.
Client thank-you programsSent after a renewal, a referral or a project close, when the relationship is warm and the gesture will land.
Safety and quality milestonesMarking a record that took every person on the floor to achieve, with something they can point at.
Remote team welcome kitsShipped to a home address, which for a distributed team is the only physical touch the company gets.
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
Government, Military & First Responders
This segment is precise about protocol and unforgiving about quality. Procurement documentation often takes longer than production. Quotes with fixed validity periods, documented lead times and clear line-item pricing move faster through approval than a better price presented informally. An imprint area of 10 in x 10 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. Worth personalising individually at this price; the response rate justifies it.
2
Franchise & Multi-Location Brands
The hard problem in multi-location branding is consistency, not creativity. Artwork drift is cumulative and invisible until it is severe. A locked file held centrally against each item number, rather than a logo emailed between locations, is what stops forty sites gradually producing forty logos. $31.20 before breaks puts this above hand-out territory. Use it that way.
3
Nonprofit & Fundraising
Every pound spent on a donor gift is a pound not spent on the mission, so the gift has to earn it. Recognition pieces for major donors and board members are the clearest win: they are relatively few, they are highly personal, and they materially affect renewal. For event merchandise, price the item to sell rather than to give. Reserve this for the shortlist and the response changes noticeably.
4
Education, Schools & Universities
Education buys in waves: orientation, homecoming, graduation, staff appreciation. Departments buy separately even when the brand is shared, which is how a university ends up with nine versions of its own crest. A single approved item list with locked artwork solves more than any individual purchasing decision will. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. Personalise it. At this tier a name is what makes it land.
How does ordering and turnaround work?
| Minimum order | 1 piece |
|---|---|
| Setup | Free, from one piece to five hundred |
| Freight | Orders over $250 ship free by ground; individual address splits available on request |
| Rush service | Rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before payment |
| Proofing | Proof back to you next business day, and nothing runs until you approve it |
| Re-orders | We keep the approved file, so a re-order reproduces it exactly |
| Shipping | Orders over $250 ship free by ground; individual address splits available on request |
What do buyers ask about UV205?
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. UV205 sells from a single unit at $31.20, 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.
What does it actually cost at quantity?
The published ladder on UV205 runs from $31.20 a piece at 1-11 down to $19.34 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. Engraving is a separate line, shown per quantity in the cost table on this page, so the all-in figure is visible before checkout. Ground freight is free on orders over $250.
Can I order more later and have them match?
Yes. We keep the approved artwork on file against the item number, so a re-order runs from the same file. Material batches can vary slightly on natural materials, which is worth knowing if color matching across orders is critical. The published ladder on UV205 runs from $31.20 a piece at 1-11 down to $19.34 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
What artwork do you need from me?
Vector artwork is ideal (.ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg) with all type converted to outlines. High-resolution raster at 300 dpi or better also works, and a logo saved from a website is worth sending anyway. We check it against the 10 in x 10 in personalization area and tell you before you pay whether it holds up at that size.
How is this decorated?
Laser Engraving is the primary method on UV205. A focused laser removes the surface layer to expose the substrate beneath. A permanent, high-contrast, single-color mark with no ink involved. We can also run UV Printing on this item if the artwork calls for it. The personalization area on UV205 is 10 in x 10 in.
How should this be cared for?
Wipe clean with a soft damp cloth. UV205 measures 12" x 18" x .025". Built to survive real use rather than a single event, that is what separates a promotional item that keeps working from one that ends up in a drawer.
Can you work to a fixed in-hand date?
Yes, and it is the right way to brief us. Tell us the date the box has to be open rather than the date you want it shipped, and checkout works the schedule backwards from there. It refuses a date it cannot keep rather than accepting it and missing it. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.
What is the minimum order for UV205?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on UV205. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. The price per piece only goes down as the quantity rises. The published ladder on UV205 runs from $31.20 a piece at 1-11 down to $19.34 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

- Ground freight is free from 12 pieces, which is where this order passes $250.00 of merchandise.
- The personalization area is 10 in by 10 in. Engraving is charged on the share your artwork actually covers, so a smaller logo costs less. Place yours on the product above and the price updates as you size it.
- At 50 pieces this costs less than 48% of the 73 other priced items in Signage & Badges.
- The table starts at 12 because below that the engraving setup costs more than the goods, and we will not guess at a price there. Ask us and we will quote a smaller run from your artwork.
- Setup is free at every quantity, including 12.
