What is the 11 3/4" x 7 3/4" Oval Slate Decor with Hanger String?
11 3/4" x 7 3/4" Oval Slate Decor with Hanger String (SLT011): a award where Natural slate with a riven face and a rough, unfinished edge does most of the work. It measures 11 3/4" x 7 3/4".
In practice: 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.
Gift tier. The economics stop being about impressions and start being about the specific relationships you spend it on. Concretely: $23.00 each at 1-11, $14.26 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
- Convert all type to outlines so fonts do not substitute in production.
- A 300 dpi raster at the actual imprint dimensions will run cleanly. Anything pulled from a web page usually will not.
- Vector files are the safe option. They hold their edges whether the mark runs at an inch or a foot.
- Supply Pantone (PMS) references for any color that has to match exactly.
- 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.
- Outline your fonts before sending. It removes the most common cause of a proof coming back wrong.

Common uses
Recognition programsA natural fit for recognition programs, which is one of the settings this award was specified for.
Annual awardsWorks well for annual awards, where the award format does what a printed handout cannot.
Milestone markingWorks well for milestone marking, where the award format does what a printed handout cannot.
Executive and board giftingShort lists, individual personalization, and a piece that survives scrutiny.
Remote team welcome kitsShipped to a home address, which for a distributed team is the only physical touch the company gets.
Community and civic eventsLocal sponsorships and volunteer thanks, where visible presence matters more than volume.
Renewal and retention giftsTimed to the contract date rather than the calendar, which is when the recipient is actually paying attention.
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
Employee Recognition & Service Awards
Recognition fails when the object does not match the words. The presentation matters as much as the piece. An award handed over in a hallway is worth a fraction of the same award presented in front of the team, which means the object should be specified for the moment it will be photographed in, not the shelf it ends on. A physical award outlasts every digital form of recognition an organization can hand out. This reads as a gift. Give it to people you chose, not people who walked past.
2
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. Worth personalising individually at this price; the response rate justifies it.
3
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. $23.00 before breaks puts this above hand-out territory. Use it that way.
4
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. Reserve this for the shortlist and the response changes noticeably.
5
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. Personalise it. At this tier a name is what makes it land.
How does ordering and turnaround work?
| Minimum order | 1 piece |

| Re-orders | We keep the approved file, so a re-order reproduces it exactly |
| Shipping | Free ground freight above $250, and we can split a run across individual addresses |
What do buyers ask about SLT011?
How should this be cared for?
Wipe with a damp cloth. Oil lightly to restore depth of color. SLT011 measures 11 3/4" x 7 3/4" and is made of slate. Every piece of slate is geologically unique: thickness, tone and surface texture all vary. We keep the approved artwork on file against the item number, so a re-order runs from the same file.
How is this decorated?
We run laser engraving on SLT011 as standard. A permanent, high-contrast, single-color mark with no ink involved. The personalization area on SLT011 is 5 in x 5 in. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing.
Can I order more later and have them match?
Re-orders reproduce rather than reinterpret. We keep the approved artwork on file against the item number, so a re-order runs from the same file. On natural materials the base itself can shift a little between batches, so tell us if an exact match matters. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. SLT011 sells from a single unit at $23.00, 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 does it actually cost at quantity?
Most orders land near 48-95, which prices at $18.40 a piece. The published ladder on SLT011 runs from $23.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $14.26 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 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 SLT011 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.
How long does production take?
Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit. The clock starts when you approve the proof, not when you place the order. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.
What is the minimum order for SLT011?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on SLT011. 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 SLT011 runs from $23.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $14.26 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
