What is the 11 3/4" Round Slate Decor with Foam Pads?
A slate award, catalogued here as SLT051. The substrate was picked for decoration quality first and appearance second, which is the right order. It measures 11 3/4" diameter.
Worth knowing before you order: 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.
A physical award outlasts every digital form of recognition an organization can hand out. On this substrate specifically: laser engraving lifts a bright, chalk-white mark out of the dark stone. The contrast is extremely strong and needs no ink.
This is the tier where an item stops being a giveaway and starts being a gift. Order it for people you have named rather than for a table, and the response rate changes accordingly. Concretely: $26.00 each at 1-11, $16.12 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
- Vector files are the safe option. They hold their edges whether the mark runs at an inch or a foot.
- 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.
- Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.
- Vector artwork (.ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg) reproduces best at every size and is what we ask for first.
- Outline your fonts before sending. It removes the most common cause of a proof coming back wrong.

Common uses
Recognition programsSpecified regularly for recognition programs. The imprint area at 5 in x 5 in is sized for exactly that job.
Annual awardsBuilt for annual awards. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Milestone markingMilestone marking is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
Recruiting and onboardingIncluded in offer packs and first-day kits, where the object is doing culture work from the very first hour.
Booth and trade show handoutsThe item that gives someone a reason to stop walking, and a reason to remember which booth it came from.
Internal contests and incentivesA tangible prize outperforms a gift card for exactly the reason you would expect. It stays on the desk.
Customer loyalty tiersA physical marker of status that an account dashboard cannot replicate.
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
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. This reads as a gift. Give it to people you chose, not people who walked past.
2
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. Worth personalising individually at this price; the response rate justifies it.
3
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. $26.00 before breaks puts this above hand-out territory. Use it that way.
4
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. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. Reserve this for the shortlist and the response changes noticeably.
5
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. An imprint area of 5 in x 5 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. Personalise it. At this tier a name is what makes it land.

What do buyers ask about SLT051?
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. SLT051 sells from a single unit at $26.00, 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 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 SLT051 is 5 in x 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.
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.
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.
How long does production take?
Door to door at standard speed: a day for the proof, 3 to 5 business days in production, then 1 to 5 business days in transit. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.
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.
What does it actually cost at quantity?
The published ladder on SLT051 runs from $26.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $16.12 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.
What is the minimum order for SLT051?
SLT051 can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on SLT051 runs from $26.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $16.12 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on SLT051 is 5 in x 5 in.
