What is the 1-Sided Gloss White Aluminum Dash Plate?

A working car flag. Anodised aluminum, light and corrosion-resistant. It measures 2 3/4" x 4" x .025". This is the gloss white colorway.

In practice: 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..

Visible at distance and in motion, which is what separates it from a window decal. Laser engraving cuts through the anodised layer to bright metal. Sublimation-coated aluminum also accepts full-color photographic printing.

This sits in the giveaway tier, where the job is reach: enough units to hand one to everyone who walks past the table, at a cost per impression low enough that nobody has to justify it line by line. Concretely: $2.85 each at 1-11, $1.77 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 1.25 in x 2.5 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

  • A digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.
  • Send vector if you have it. A .ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg scales to any imprint without softening.
  • Raster artwork should be at least 300 dpi at the finished imprint size, on a transparent or white background.
  • If brand color accuracy matters, give us the Pantone numbers rather than a screenshot to match.
  • Outline your fonts before sending. It removes the most common cause of a proof coming back wrong.

Common uses

Game day and school spiritA natural fit for game day and school spirit, which is one of the settings this car flag was specified for.
Parade and event fleetsWorks well for parade and event fleets, where the car flag format does what a printed handout cannot.
Dealership promotionsDealership promotions is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
Service anniversariesFive, ten and twenty years. The object marks the span in a way a announcement never manages.
Customer loyalty tiersA physical marker of status that an account dashboard cannot replicate.
Renewal and retention giftsTimed to the contract date rather than the calendar, which is when the recipient is actually paying attention.
Employee milestonesAnniversaries, promotions and retirements: the moments where a personalized object does what an email cannot.
Team and department awardsRecognizing a group without the cost or ceremony of individual crystal for every person.

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

Automotive & Dealerships

Delivery day is the highest-emotion moment in the customer relationship. Anything that goes in or on a vehicle gets judged against the vehicle. A cheap keychain handed over with a car undercuts the purchase in a way that giving nothing would not, which makes this one of the few segments where under-spending is the bigger risk. 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.

2

Weddings, Reunions & Milestone Events

Personal events are the one segment where the recipient genuinely wants the item personalized. Names, dates and short inscriptions turn an ordinary object into something kept for decades. Quantities are modest and lead times are unforgiving, which makes production scheduling the thing to get right. The car flag format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. At this price the risk is under-ordering, not over-ordering.

3

Sports Leagues, Tournaments & Clubs

Sport needs volume, deadlines and a clear hierarchy of awards. Awards are read as a hierarchy whether or not you intended one. If the participation piece and the champion piece look similar, the champion feels short-changed, and that is remembered longer than the result. Down to $1.77 at volume, which is where this stops being a cost.

4

Education, Schools & Universities

Education buys in waves: orientation, homecoming, graduation, staff appreciation. Student-facing items live rough. They go in backpacks, get left outdoors and are rarely cleaned, so durability matters more than finish. Faculty and donor gifting is the opposite problem and deserves an entirely separate specification. 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.

What do buyers ask about UV106?

What does it actually cost at quantity?

Most orders land near 48-95, which prices at $2.28 a piece. The published ladder on UV106 runs from $2.85 a piece at 1-11 down to $1.77 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. Engraving is a separate line, shown per quantity in the cost table on this page, so the all-in figure is visible before checkout.

What happens if something arrives damaged?

Tell us within 10 days of delivery and we replace it. Note any damage on the freight bill before you sign for it, because that is what the carrier claim turns on. Resolving it with the carrier is our job, not yours. The replacement runs from the artwork you already approved, so it matches the rest of the order.

Can I get a sample before committing?

Yes: order one piece. UV106 sells from a single unit at $2.85, 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.

Do you ship to multiple addresses?

Yes, through a quote. Card checkout ships one order to one address, so for a split run send the address list with a quote request and we confirm the freight for every destination in writing before you pay. The artwork is proofed once and applied across the whole run. Ground freight is free on orders over $250.

Can I see a proof before you produce the order?

Always, and we do not start without written approval. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing. Once approved, the proof becomes the specification for the run, so check the spelling and the placement carefully. The personalization area on UV106 is 1.25 in x 2.5 in.

What artwork do you need from me?

Send vector if it exists, raster at 300 dpi if it does not, and whatever you have if neither. The personalization area on UV106 is 1.25 in x 2.5 in, and we redraw or re-proportion anything that will not survive it. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing.

How is this decorated?

Laser Engraving is the primary method on UV106. 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 Dye Sublimation and UV Printing on this item if the artwork calls for it. The personalization area on UV106 is 1.25 in x 2.5 in.

What is the minimum order for UV106?

UV106 can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on UV106 runs from $2.85 a piece at 1-11 down to $1.77 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on UV106 is 1.25 in x 2.5 in.
