What is the 17 1/8" Gold Completed Metal Cup with Black Marble Base?

Catalogued as CMC872G, this trophy cup sits in the part of the range that gets re-ordered rather than tried once. It measures 17 1/8". This is the gold colorway, one of 2 in the range.

Marble brings weight and permanence. As with slate, veining varies from piece to piece, so no two awards are identical.

Laser engraving and sand carving both cut cleanly into the stone for a permanent mark. A cup is the most recognizable award form there is. It needs no explanation in a photograph.

Flagship recognition. The cost only makes sense against a milestone big enough that people will remember where they were standing. Concretely: $213.00 each at 1-11, $132.06 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 1.2 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.

Sand Carving

Abrasive is blasted through a cut mask to cut into the surface of the glass or crystal. A deep, frosted, dimensional mark you can feel with a fingertip.

Best for

Crystal and glass awards where depth and presence matter more than color.

Color

Frosted white, optionally color-filled.

Artwork requirements

  • Do not spend a week hunting for the perfect file. Send what exists and we will tell you what is usable.
  • Name the PMS values for anything that has to match a brand standard; screen color is not a reliable reference.
  • Outline your fonts before sending. It removes the most common cause of a proof coming back wrong.
  • Vector files are the safe option. They hold their edges whether the mark runs at an inch or a foot.
  • A digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.

Common uses

Championships and tournamentsA natural fit for championships and tournaments, which is one of the settings this trophy cup was specified for.
Annual perpetual awardsSpecified regularly for annual perpetual awards. The imprint area at 1.2 in x 5 in is sized for exactly that job.
Team and department awardsRecognizing a group without the cost or ceremony of individual crystal for every person.
Booth and trade show handoutsThe item that gives someone a reason to stop walking, and a reason to remember which booth it came from.
Service anniversariesFive, ten and twenty years. The object marks the span in a way a announcement never manages.
Customer loyalty tiersA physical marker of status that an account dashboard cannot replicate.
Internal contests and incentivesA tangible prize outperforms a gift card for exactly the reason you would expect. It stays on the desk.

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

Sports Leagues, Tournaments & Clubs

Sport needs volume, deadlines and a clear hierarchy of awards. Awards are read as a hierarchy whether or not you intended one. If the participation piece and the champion piece look similar, the champion feels short-changed, and that is remembered longer than the result. Laser engraving and sand carving both cut cleanly into the stone for a permanent mark. This is the award people photograph. Budget it as a single line.

2

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. The trophy cup format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. $213.00 before breaks: reserved for the moment that warrants it.

3

Weddings, Reunions & Milestone Events

Personal events are the one segment where the recipient genuinely wants the item personalized. Names, dates and short inscriptions turn an ordinary object into something kept for decades. Quantities are modest and lead times are unforgiving, which makes production scheduling the thing to get right. Bought for the one occasion a year that genuinely earns it.

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. Marble brings weight and permanence. A centrepiece, not a run. Expect it on display for a decade.

What do buyers ask about CMC872G?

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.

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?

Most orders land near 48-95, which prices at $170.40 a piece. The published ladder on CMC872G runs from $213.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $132.06 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.

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.

Can I get a sample before committing?

Yes: order one piece. CMC872G sells from a single unit at $213.00, 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.

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 CMC872G runs from $213.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $132.06 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?

The personalization area on CMC872G is 1.2 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.

What is the minimum order for CMC872G?

There is no minimum beyond one piece on CMC872G. 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 CMC872G runs from $213.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $132.06 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
