What is the 3 1/4" x 1 1/4" Light Brown Leatherette Badge with Magnet?

Item BDG131 is a magnet in leatherette, chosen for how well it takes a mark and how long that mark lasts. It measures 3 1/4" x 1 1/4". This is the light brown colorway.

In practice: 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..

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. It lands on the refrigerator, which is the most-looked-at surface in most homes, and it stays there for years.

Treat this as reach inventory. The point of the tier is that you can put one in every hand at an event without the total ever becoming a conversation with finance. Concretely: $4.00 each at 1-11, $2.48 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 1.75 in x 1 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

  • We send a digital proof for written approval before production starts. Nothing goes on a machine until you sign it off.
  • Supply Pantone (PMS) references for any color that has to match exactly.
  • 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.
  • Type should be converted to curves or outlines, otherwise a missing font silently substitutes on our end.

Common uses

Local service remindersWorks well for local service reminders, where the magnet format does what a printed handout cannot.
Trade show and mailer insertsBuilt for trade show and mailer inserts. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Referral and loyalty programsSpecified regularly for referral and loyalty programs. The imprint area at 1.75 in x 1 in is sized for exactly that job.
Community and civic eventsLocal sponsorships and volunteer thanks, where visible presence matters more than volume.
Safety and quality milestonesMarking a record that took every person on the floor to achieve, with something they can point at.
Remote team welcome kitsShipped to a home address, which for a distributed team is the only physical touch the company gets.
Service anniversariesFive, ten and twenty years. The object marks the span in a way a announcement never manages.
Sponsorship and partner thanksGiven to the people who funded or enabled the work, in a form they can keep visible.

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

Automotive & Dealerships

Delivery day is the highest-emotion moment in the customer relationship. A keychain, a tumbler or a desk piece handed over with the keys attaches itself to that memory. Service-department giveaways work on a different logic, frequency, not sentiment, so unit cost matters far more there. The unit cost here is low enough that reach matters more than restraint.

2

Healthcare & Senior Living

Healthcare buyers screen for practicality and hygiene before they screen for design. Shift work changes the specification. Items are carried between home, locker and ward, so anything that leaks, breaks or cannot go through a dishwasher gets abandoned within a fortnight regardless of how good it looked at the point of purchase. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. Order deep. At this price the waste of a few extra is cheaper than running short.

3

Franchise & Multi-Location Brands

The hard problem in multi-location branding is consistency, not creativity. Artwork drift is cumulative and invisible until it is severe. A locked file held centrally against each item number, rather than a logo emailed between locations, is what stops forty sites gradually producing forty logos. An imprint area of 1.75 in x 1 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. Volume is the point at $4.00; nobody is auditing this line item.

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. 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. Cost per impression is the number that matters here, and it is very low.

5

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. Cheap enough to over-order slightly, which is the right call for a table.

6

Construction, Trades & Field Services

On a job site, an item survives or it disappears. The item has to survive a truck bed in July and a tailgate in January. Thermal performance and impact resistance are the specification; everything else in this segment is decoration on top of that. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. At this price the risk is under-ordering, not over-ordering.
