What is the 2 5/8" x 1" Black Perpetual Block?
This promotional product is made from quality materials selected for decoration and everyday durability. It measures 2 5/8" (L) x 7/8" (W) x 1" (H). This is the black colorway.
In practice: built to survive real use rather than a single event, that is what separates a promotional item that keeps working from one that ends up in a drawer..
Chosen for a combination of perceived value, decoration quality and keep-rate rather than headline unit price. On this substrate specifically: decoration method is matched to the substrate so the mark is permanent rather than printed on top.
This is where perceived value and order size stop fighting each other. You can buy enough to matter and still hand over something nobody quietly throws away. Concretely: $17.85 each at 1-11, $11.07 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 3.6 in x 3.6 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
- Vector files are the safe option. They hold their edges whether the mark runs at an inch or a foot.
- Raster artwork should be at least 300 dpi at the finished imprint size, on a transparent or white background.
- Type should be converted to curves or outlines, otherwise a missing font silently substitutes on our end.
- We send a digital proof for written approval before production starts. Nothing goes on a machine until you sign it off.
- Artwork we redraw stays on file under your item number, so the next order runs from the same corrected file.

Common uses
Corporate giftingA natural fit for corporate gifting, which is one of the settings this promotional product was specified for.
Events and trade showsA natural fit for events and trade shows, which is one of the settings this promotional product was specified for.
Employee recognitionA natural fit for employee recognition, which is one of the settings this promotional product was specified for.
Executive and board giftingShort lists, individual personalization, and a piece that survives scrutiny.
Sponsorship and partner thanksGiven to the people who funded or enabled the work, in a form they can keep visible.
Fundraising and donor recognitionThanking the people who gave, in a form that quietly encourages the next person to.
Recruiting and onboardingIncluded in offer packs and first-day kits, where the object is doing culture work from the very first hour.
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. 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 $11.07 in volume the cost per kept item is hard to beat.
2
Employee Recognition & Service Awards
Recognition fails when the object does not match the words. Consistency is what makes a recognition program credible. If a ten year award looks better this year than it did last year, everyone who got last year's version notices. Lock the specification and the supplier, and treat the item list as something you change deliberately rather than annually. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. Roughly 38% comes off between one piece and a full run.
3
Trade Shows & Conferences
Booth traffic is not the metric: what leaves the hall and stays in use is. Run a two-tier giveaway: a low-cost item for everyone who stops, and a genuinely good piece reserved for qualified conversations. The second tier is what people remember when your follow-up email arrives a week later. An imprint area of 3.6 in x 3.6 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. At $17.85 before breaks this is the tier most programmes should live in.
4
Onboarding & New Hire Kits
Day one sets the tone for everything after it. Order for the year, not the hire. Onboarding kits fail on availability rather than design: a start date arrives, the item is out of stock, and the new person gets an apology instead of a welcome. Hold quantity against forecast headcount and the problem disappears. Good enough to be kept, affordable enough to order in real quantity.
5
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. This is the sweet spot: real perceived value without a procurement conversation.
6
Nonprofit & Fundraising
Every pound spent on a donor gift is a pound not spent on the mission, so the gift has to earn it. Recognition pieces for major donors and board members are the clearest win: they are relatively few, they are highly personal, and they materially affect renewal. For event merchandise, price the item to sell rather than to give. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. $17.85 before breaks buys something people keep rather than bin.

What do buyers ask about IMP180BLOCK?
How should this be cared for?
Wipe clean with a soft damp cloth. IMP180BLOCK measures 2 5/8" (L) x 7/8" (W) x 1" (H). Built to survive real use rather than a single event, that is what separates a promotional item that keeps working from one that ends up in a drawer.
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. IMP180BLOCK sells from a single unit at $17.85, 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 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 IMP180BLOCK runs from $17.85 a piece at 1-11 down to $11.07 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
Is there a setup charge?
There is no setup charge, ever. Art preparation, machine setup and the proof are part of the price on this page. 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 is this decorated?
Laser Engraving is the primary method on IMP180BLOCK. A focused laser removes the surface layer to expose the substrate beneath. 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 IMP180BLOCK is 3.6 in x 3.6 in.
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows 69 of IMP180BLOCK 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.
What is the minimum order for IMP180BLOCK?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on IMP180BLOCK. 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 IMP180BLOCK runs from $17.85 a piece at 1-11 down to $11.07 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

- Ground freight is free from 12 pieces, which is where this order passes $250.00 of merchandise.
- The personalization area is 3.6 in by 3.6 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 99% of the 878 other priced items in Acrylic Awards.
- 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.
