What is the 2-Sided Ceramic Ornament?
A working ornament. Glazed ceramic with a smooth, non-porous drinking surface. It measures 2 1/2" diameter.
Ceramic is the substrate people actually keep at a desk. It holds heat well, it is microwave and dishwasher safe in most configurations, and it does not impart any flavour.
Dye-sublimation bonds full-color artwork into the glaze rather than sitting on top of it, so photographs, gradients and exact brand colors all reproduce. And the result survives the dishwasher. An ornament comes back out of a box every December. Annual recurring impressions from a single purchase.
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: $10.65 each at 1-11, $6.60 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 1.5 in x 1.25 in.
Dye Sublimation
Heat converts solid dye to gas, which bonds into a polyester coating or ceramic glaze. Full-color artwork embedded in the surface rather than sitting on top of it.
Full-wrap photographic decoration on mugs, coated drinkware and coated metal.
Full color. Cannot print white. The substrate supplies white.
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.
Multi-color logos, gradients, photographs and exact brand-color matching.
Full color, including white ink on dark substrates.
Artwork requirements
- Convert all type to outlines so fonts do not substitute in production.
- A digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.
- Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.
- Artwork we redraw stays on file under your item number, so the next order runs from the same corrected file.
- 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.
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
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.
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. At $6.60 in volume the cost per kept item is hard to beat.
Real Estate & Closing Gifts
A closing gift is a referral instrument, not a thank-you note. Agents re-order what generates conversations, not what photographs well. Track which pieces prompt a referral call and the item list narrows quickly to two or three things worth stocking properly. Ceramic is the substrate people actually keep at a desk. Roughly 38% comes off between one piece and a full run.
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. At $10.65 before breaks this is the tier most programmes should live in.
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. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. Good enough to be kept, affordable enough to order in real quantity.

What do buyers ask about SBL005?
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.
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 SBL005 is 1.5 in x 1.25 in.
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.
How long does production take?
Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit. The clock starts when you approve the proof, not when you place the order. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.
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.
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.
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows more than 1,000 of SBL005 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 SBL005?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on SBL005. 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 SBL005 runs from $10.65 a piece at 1-11 down to $6.60 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

| Quantity | Piece | Engraving | All-in each | Order total | Ground freight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 | $9.80 | $4.50 | $14.30 | $171.60 | Priced by weight |
| 24 | $9.16 | $3.25 | $12.41 | $297.84 | Free |
| 48 | $8.52 | $2.50 | $11.02 | $528.96 | Free |

| 500 | $6.60 | $1.75 | $8.35 | $4,175.00 | Free |
- Ground freight is free from 24 pieces, which is where this order passes $250.00 of merchandise.
- The personalization area is 1.5 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 38% of the 97 other priced items in Seasonal & Holiday. 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.
