What is the 10 1/2" x 13" Value Solid Black Finish Plaque?
10 1/2" x 13" Value Solid Black Finish Plaque (VAL31013): a replacement lid where Solid wood with a natural grain and a finished surface does most of the work. It measures 10 1/2" x 13". This is the black colorway.
Worth knowing before you order: wood carries a warmth that metal and acrylic do not, and that is why it keeps showing up on service awards and retirement pieces where the message is personal rather than corporate..
Laser engraving burns directly into the grain for a permanent mark. Expect slight tonal variation between pieces. Stocking replacement lids keeps an existing drinkware program alive instead of forcing a re-buy.
The dependable middle. Recipients register it as a real object rather than a handout, and you can still order in the quantities a full team needs. Concretely: $16.65 each at 1-11, $10.32 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 9 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
- Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.
- 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.
- A 300 dpi raster at the actual imprint dimensions will run cleanly. Anything pulled from a web page usually will not.
- We send a digital proof for written approval before production starts. Nothing goes on a machine until you sign it off.
- 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.
- Do not spend a week hunting for the perfect file. Send what exists and we will tell you what is usable.
Production schedule
| Digital proof | Same or next business day |
|---|---|
| Standard run | 3 to 5 business days once the proof is signed off |
| Rush run | quoted per job once the proof is signed off, with the date confirmed in writing |
| Delivery | 1 to 5 business days on the ground network |
Common uses
Program replenishmentWorks well for program replenishment, where the replacement lid format does what a printed handout cannot.
Drinkware add-onA natural fit for drinkware add-on, which is one of the settings this replacement lid was specified for.
Customer loyalty tiersA physical marker of status that an account dashboard cannot replicate.
Service anniversariesFive, ten and twenty years. The object marks the span in a way a announcement never manages.
Internal contests and incentivesA tangible prize outperforms a gift card for exactly the reason you would expect. It stays on the desk.
Booth and trade show handoutsThe item that gives someone a reason to stop walking, and a reason to remember which booth it came from.
Employee milestonesAnniversaries, promotions and retirements: the moments where a personalized object does what an email cannot.
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
Corporate Gifting & Client Appreciation
Client gifting has one job: to be kept. A gift that lands on a client desk and stays there keeps working long after the meeting that prompted it. That argues for fewer, better pieces rather than a large volume of disposables, and for decoration that will still look intentional in two years. Wood carries a warmth that metal and acrylic do not, and that is why it keeps showing up on service awards and retirement pieces where the message is personal rather than corporate.. Good enough to be kept, affordable enough to order in real quantity.
2
Weddings, Reunions & Milestone Events
Personal events are the one segment where the recipient genuinely wants the item personalized. The deadline is absolute in a way it is not in any other segment. A wedding does not move, which means production scheduling, not selection, is where these orders fail. Lock artwork six weeks out and the rest is straightforward. This is the sweet spot: real perceived value without a procurement conversation.
3
Hospitality, Restaurants & Breweries
In hospitality the promotional item and the retail item are the same object. Seasonality drives the order pattern. Terraces, patios and outdoor service create demand for a different specification than winter trade does, so most venues need two lists rather than one annual order. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. $16.65 before breaks buys something people keep rather than bin.

What do buyers ask about VAL31013?
Is there a setup charge?
There is no setup charge, ever. Art preparation, machine setup and the proof are part of the price on this page. 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.
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on VAL31013 is 9 in x 10 in. If your mark does not sit well in that shape we redraw or re-proportion it and show you the result on the proof before anything is produced. Engraving is charged on the share of the area your artwork covers, so a smaller mark costs less.
Can I mix colors or sizes to reach a quantity break?
Yes, provided the artwork stays the same across the run. Different artwork is fine as well: it gets its own proof, and setup stays free. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. The published ladder on VAL31013 runs from $16.65 a piece at 1-11 down to $10.32 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
What does it actually cost at quantity?
Most orders land near 48-95, which prices at $13.32 a piece. The published ladder on VAL31013 runs from $16.65 a piece at 1-11 down to $10.32 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.
Can you work to a fixed in-hand date?
Yes. Give us the in-hand date and checkout tells you immediately whether standard production makes it. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.
How is this decorated?
We run laser engraving on VAL31013 as standard. 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 VAL31013 is 9 in x 10 in. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing.
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 9 in x 10 in personalization area and tell you before you pay whether it holds up at that size.
What is the minimum order for VAL31013?
VAL31013 can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on VAL31013 runs from $16.65 a piece at 1-11 down to $10.32 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on VAL31013 is 9 in x 10 in.
