What is the 11" x 6 1/2" Alder Football Plaque?
This plaque is made from solid wood with a natural grain and a finished surface. It measures 11" x 6 1/2" x 1/2".
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. That is the difference between something kept and something replaced.
Laser engraving burns directly into the grain for a permanent mark. Expect slight tonal variation between pieces. Wall-mounted recognition stays visible to everyone who walks past, not just the recipient.
This reads as a considered gift, which means it rewards a named list and wastes its advantage on a table by the door. Concretely: $42.00 each at 1-11, $26.04 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 9.5 in x 9.5 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.
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
- Supply Pantone (PMS) references for any color that has to match exactly.
- Vector artwork (.ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg) reproduces best at every size and is what we ask for first.
- Artwork we redraw stays on file under your item number, so the next order runs from the same corrected file.
- A digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.
- Convert all type to outlines so fonts do not substitute in production.
- Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.
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
Service awardsA natural fit for service awards, which is one of the settings this plaque was specified for.
Donor recognitionBuilt for donor recognition. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Sponsor and partner recognitionSponsor and partner recognition is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
Executive and board giftingShort lists, individual personalization, and a piece that survives scrutiny.
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.
Client thank-you programsSent after a renewal, a referral or a project close, when the relationship is warm and the gesture will land.
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
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. 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.. $42.00 before breaks puts this above hand-out territory. Use it that way.
2
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.
3
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. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. Personalise it. At this tier a name is what makes it land.
4
Government, Military & First Responders
This segment is precise about protocol and unforgiving about quality. Challenge coins, unit recognition, retirement and commendation pieces all carry established conventions. Sourcing compliance and documented lead times usually matter as much as the item itself. An imprint area of 9.5 in x 9.5 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. Too good to scatter. Pick the recipients deliberately.
5
Faith & Community Organizations
Faith communities give to mark moments rather than to advertise. These pieces are given once and kept for a lifetime, so the failure mode is not looking cheap but dating badly. Restrained typography and no year-specific styling means the piece still reads well in twenty years. Volume takes it to $26.04, which widens the list without cheapening it.

What do buyers ask about ACP050?
How should this be cared for?
Dust with a dry cloth. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight. ACP050 measures 11" x 6 1/2" x 1/2" and is made of wood. 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.
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 ACP050 is 9.5 in x 9.5 in.
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on ACP050 is 9.5 in x 9.5 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.
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 ACP050 runs from $42.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $26.04 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows 3 of ACP050 in stock as of the last hourly sync. If a color is short we say so the day you order rather than the week before the deadline. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.
Can you work to a fixed in-hand date?
Yes, and it is the right way to brief us. Tell us the date the box has to be open rather than the date you want it shipped, and checkout works the schedule backwards from there. It refuses a date it cannot keep rather than accepting it and missing it. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.
How is this decorated?
We run laser engraving on ACP050 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 ACP050 is 9.5 in x 9.5 in. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing.
What is the minimum order for ACP050?
ACP050 can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on ACP050 runs from $42.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $26.04 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on ACP050 is 9.5 in x 9.5 in.
