What is the 10" x 4" Rectangle Slate Decor with Hanger String?
10" x 4" Rectangle Slate Decor with Hanger String (SLT030): a award where Natural slate with a riven face and a rough, unfinished edge does most of the work. It measures 10" x 4".
Every piece of slate is geologically unique: thickness, tone and surface texture all vary. Buyers who want uniformity should choose glass; buyers who want each piece to feel individual choose slate for exactly this reason.
Laser engraving lifts a bright, chalk-white mark out of the dark stone. The contrast is extremely strong and needs no ink. A physical award outlasts every digital form of recognition an organization can hand out.
The middle of the range, and the part of it that does the most work. Good enough that people keep it, cheap enough that you can cover an entire department. Concretely: $15.50 each at 1-11, $9.61 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 5 in x 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.
Artwork requirements
- A digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.
- Name the PMS values for anything that has to match a brand standard; screen color is not a reliable reference.
- Type should be converted to curves or outlines, otherwise a missing font silently substitutes on our end.
- Vector artwork (.ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg) reproduces best at every size and is what we ask for first.
- We send a digital proof for written approval before production starts. Nothing goes on a machine until you sign it off.
- Outline your fonts before sending. It removes the most common cause of a proof coming back wrong.
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
Recognition programsBuilt for recognition programs. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Annual awardsSpecified regularly for annual awards. The imprint area at 5 in x 5 in is sized for exactly that job.
Milestone markingA natural fit for milestone marking, which is one of the settings this award was specified for.
Sponsorship and partner thanksGiven to the people who funded or enabled the work, in a form they can keep visible.
Executive and board giftingShort lists, individual personalization, and a piece that survives scrutiny.
Recruiting and onboardingIncluded in offer packs and first-day kits, where the object is doing culture work from the very first hour.
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. The recipient is rarely the decision maker you are trying to reach, which is the part most programs get wrong. Choose something that will sit in a shared space rather than a drawer, and the gift starts working on people who were never on your list. Laser engraving lifts a bright, chalk-white mark out of the dark stone. The contrast is extremely strong and needs no ink. $15.50 before breaks buys something people keep rather than bin.
2
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 award format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. Deep enough quantity is affordable here, which is unusual at this quality.
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. Donors read the gift as a statement about stewardship. Something visibly expensive can cost you more in confidence than it earns in goodwill, which is why restraint and a personal inscription usually outperform scale in this sector. The workhorse choice for this audience, and it re-orders predictably.
4
Sports Leagues, Tournaments & Clubs
Sport needs volume, deadlines and a clear hierarchy of awards. The order arrives before the results do, which means engraving strategy is the real decision. Generic plates with a separate engraved insert let you produce early and personalize late, and that is usually the difference between hitting the date and missing it. Every piece of slate is geologically unique: thickness, tone and surface texture all vary. Priced so you can cover everyone without cheapening the gesture.
5
Employee Recognition & Service Awards
Recognition fails when the object does not match the words. If you are marking five or ten years of someone's working life, the piece has to carry weight. Literally and otherwise. Personalization with the individual's name is what converts a company gift into a personal keepsake, and it is the single highest-leverage decision in a recognition program. At $9.61 in volume the cost per kept item is hard to beat.

What do buyers ask about SLT030?
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.

Is there a setup charge?
No. Setup is free on every order at every quantity. Art preparation, machine setup and your digital proof are built into the price, with nothing added for them later. 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 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.
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on SLT030 is 5 in x 5 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.
