What is the 18" x 9" Acacia Serving Tray with Blue Pearl Resin and Gold Handles?
A resin serving tray, catalogued here as GFT3000. The substrate was picked for decoration quality first and appearance second, which is the right order. It measures 18"(L) x 9"(W) x 1 7/8" (T). This is the blue colorway, one of 2 in the range.
Casting is what allows shapes, figures, sport-specific sculpts, dimensional forms, that simply cannot be cut from crystal or metal at a comparable price. It is the reason resin dominates youth sport and participation awards. That is the difference between something kept and something replaced.
Decoration is applied to an engraving plate or a printed plate fitted to the base, not to the sculpt itself. It is carried into a room full of guests. That is a wider audience than the person who received it.
At this price the item is a statement about the recipient. Personalize every one, and keep the list to people you could name from memory. Concretely: $106.50 each at 1-11, $66.03 at 500+.

Artwork requirements
- Artwork we redraw stays on file under your item number, so the next order runs from the same corrected file.
- Supply Pantone (PMS) references for any color that has to match exactly.
- Convert all type to outlines so fonts do not substitute in production.
- Name the PMS values for anything that has to match a brand standard; screen color is not a reliable reference.
- We send a digital proof for written approval before production starts. Nothing goes on a machine until you sign it off.

Common uses
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.
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. It is carried into a room full of guests. That is a wider audience than the person who received it. Executive tier. Treat the engraving as carefully as the invoice.
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. Decoration is applied to an engraving plate or a printed plate fitted to the base, not to the sculpt itself. Even at volume it holds $66.03, which tells you what tier this is.
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. The serving tray format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. Spend it where the relationship is worth more than the invoice.
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. At $106.50 before breaks this is relationship work, not advertising.

What do buyers ask about GFT3000?
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 5 in personalization area and tell you before you pay whether it holds up at that size.
Can I mix colors or sizes to reach a quantity break?
Yes. GFT3000 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+.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. GFT3000 sells from a single unit at $106.50, 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 happens if something arrives damaged?
We replace damaged pieces. Send a photograph and the item number within 10 days of delivery and we handle the carrier claim ourselves. If the box arrives visibly damaged, write that on the freight bill before signing. The replacement runs from the artwork you already approved, so it matches the rest of the order.
How is this decorated?
We run laser engraving (plate) on GFT3000 as standard. A permanent engraved plate on a cast body. We can also run UV Printing (plate) and Sublimated Plate on this item if the artwork calls for it. The personalization area on GFT3000 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 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.
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.
What is the minimum order for GFT3000?
GFT3000 can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on GFT3000 runs from $106.50 a piece at 1-11 down to $66.03 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on GFT3000 is 5 in x 5 in.

- Ground freight is free from 12 pieces, which is where this order passes $250.00 of merchandise.
- The personalization area is 5 in by 5 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 11% of the 405 other priced items in Corporate Awards. It sits at the dearer end of that range, which is usually the material rather than the margin.
- Setup is free at every quantity, including 1.
