What is the 16" x 12" Black/Silver Laserable Leatherette Insert for Serving Tray?
A working serving tray. Laserable polyurethane leatherette bonded to a contrasting core. It measures 16". This is the black colorway, one of 2 in the range.
Leatherette solves the two problems real leather has as a promotional substrate: it is consistent from unit to unit, so a hundred pieces look like a hundred of the same piece, and it does not absorb moisture, stain, or fray at cut edges. That is the difference between something kept and something replaced.
It is carried into a room full of guests. That is a wider audience than the person who received it. On this substrate specifically: this is one of the highest-contrast decoration surfaces in the industry. The laser removes the top layer and reveals the core color underneath, so the logo appears as a crisp, permanent, two-tone mark with no ink and nothing to wear off.
This is the workhorse tier: the price point where an item is good enough to be kept but affordable enough to order in real quantity. Most successful programs live here. Concretely: $10.35 each at 1-11, $6.42 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 1.25 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.
Debossing
A heated die presses the artwork into the material. A subtle, tactile, recessed impression in the surface color.
Best for
Leather and leatherette gifts where understatement is the point.
Color
Blind (no color) or foil-filled.
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
- Send vector if you have it. A .ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg scales to any imprint without softening.
- If brand color accuracy matters, give us the Pantone numbers rather than a screenshot to match.
- Artwork we redraw stays on file under your item number, so the next order runs from the same corrected file.
- Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.
- Vector files are the safe option. They hold their edges whether the mark runs at an inch or a foot.
- Convert all type to outlines so fonts do not substitute in production.
Production schedule
| Artwork proof | 1 business day from receipt of usable art |
|---|---|
| Standard production | 3 to 5 business days after proof approval |
| Rush production | quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay |
| Ground transit | 1 to 5 business days depending on destination |
Common uses
Hospitality and client giftingA natural fit for hospitality and client gifting, which is one of the settings this serving tray was specified for.
Wedding and anniversary giftsBuilt for wedding and anniversary gifts. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Home and kitchen brandsBuilt for home and kitchen brands. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Sponsorship and partner thanksGiven to the people who funded or enabled the work, in a form they can keep visible.
Renewal and retention giftsTimed to the contract date rather than the calendar, which is when the recipient is actually paying attention.
Fundraising and donor recognitionThanking the people who gave, in a form that quietly encourages the next person to.
Client thank-you programsSent after a renewal, a referral or a project close, when the relationship is warm and the gesture will land.
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. The serving tray format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. Good enough to be kept, affordable enough to order in real quantity.
2
Real Estate & Closing Gifts
A closing gift is a referral instrument, not a thank-you note. The gift is competing with a move, which is the least receptive moment in a person's year. Something that gets unpacked in the first week and used immediately beats something beautiful that stays in a box until the boxes are finally dealt with. This is the sweet spot: real perceived value without a procurement conversation.
3
Weddings, Reunions & Milestone Events
Personal events are the one segment where the recipient genuinely wants the item personalized. Guests keep what they can use and discard what merely commemorates. An item that works on an ordinary Tuesday will outlive the event by years; one that only makes sense on the day will not survive the drive home. Leatherette solves the two problems real leather has as a promotional substrate: it is consistent from unit to unit, so a hundred pieces look like a hundred of the same piece, and it does not absorb moisture, stain, or fray at cut edges.. $10.35 before breaks buys something people keep rather than bin.
4
Hospitality, Restaurants & Breweries
In hospitality the promotional item and the retail item are the same object. Branded glassware and drinkware serve guests, then sell to guests at the end of the visit. That dual use changes the maths entirely. The decoration cost is recovered at the till rather than written off to marketing. Deep enough quantity is affordable here, which is unusual at this quality.

What do buyers ask about GFT1172INSERT?
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. GFT1172INSERT sells from a single unit at $10.35, 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.
Can I order more later and have them match?
Yes. We keep the approved artwork on file against the item number, so a re-order runs from the same file. Material batches can vary slightly on natural materials, which is worth knowing if color matching across orders is critical. The published ladder on GFT1172INSERT runs from $10.35 a piece at 1-11 down to $6.42 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
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 5 in x 1.25 in personalization area and tell you before you pay whether it holds up at that size.
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 GFT1172INSERT is 5 in x 1.25 in.
Can I mix colors or sizes to reach a quantity break?
Yes. GFT1172INSERT runs in 2 colors and they combine for pricing, as long as the artwork does not change between them. 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+.
What does it actually cost at quantity?
The published ladder on GFT1172INSERT runs from $10.35 a piece at 1-11 down to $6.42 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.
How should this be cared for?
Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Do not soak or machine wash. GFT1172INSERT measures 16" and is made of leatherette. Leatherette solves the two problems real leather has as a promotional substrate: it is consistent from unit to unit, so a hundred pieces look like a hundred of the same piece, and it does not absorb moisture, stain, or fray at cut edges.
What is the minimum order for GFT1172INSERT?
GFT1172INSERT can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on GFT1172INSERT runs from $10.35 a piece at 1-11 down to $6.42 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on GFT1172INSERT is 5 in x 1.25 in.

- Ground freight is free from 24 pieces, which is where this order passes $250.00 of merchandise.
- The personalization area is 5 in by 1.25 in. Engraving is charged on the share your artwork actually covers, so a smaller logo costs less. Place yours on the product above and the price updates as you size it.
- At 50 pieces this costs less than 31% of the 347 other priced items in Personalized Gifts. It sits at the dearer end of that range, which is usually the material rather than the margin.
- The table starts at 12 because below that the engraving setup costs more than the goods, and we will not guess at a price there. Ask us and we will quote a smaller run from your artwork.
- Setup is free at every quantity, including 12.
