What is the 3 1/4" x 2 1/2" x 1 1/2" Walnut One Hole Base?
A walnut plaque, catalogued here as ZX655. The substrate was picked for decoration quality first and appearance second, which is the right order. It measures 3 1/4" x 2 1/2" x 1 1/2".
Walnut is the darkest of the common domestic hardwoods, which gives engraving somewhere to sit. Grain varies piece to piece. An argument for it, not against it, on an award meant to feel individual. That is the difference between something kept and something replaced.
Wall-mounted recognition stays visible to everyone who walks past, not just the recipient. On this substrate specifically: laser engraving produces a near-black mark against the walnut, one of the highest-contrast wood results available.
This is the tier where an item stops being a giveaway and starts being a gift. Order it for people you have named rather than for a table, and the response rate changes accordingly. Concretely: $37.80 each at 1-11, $23.44 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.
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
- 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.
- Send vector if you have it. A .ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg scales to any imprint without softening.
- Artwork we redraw stays on file under your item number, so the next order runs from the same corrected file.
- Vector artwork (.ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg) reproduces best at every size and is what we ask for first.
- A digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.

Common uses
Service awardsService awards is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
Donor recognitionBuilt for donor recognition. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Sponsor and partner recognitionWorks well for sponsor and partner recognition, where the plaque format does what a printed handout cannot.
Internal contests and incentivesA tangible prize outperforms a gift card for exactly the reason you would expect. It stays on the desk.
Executive and board giftingShort lists, individual personalization, and a piece that survives scrutiny.
Employee milestonesAnniversaries, promotions and retirements: the moments where a personalized object does what an email cannot.
Fundraising and donor recognitionThanking the people who gave, in a form that quietly encourages the next person to.
Community and civic eventsLocal sponsorships and volunteer thanks, where visible presence matters more than volume.
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
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. Volume takes it to $23.44, which widens the list without cheapening it.
2
Sports Leagues, Tournaments & Clubs
Sport needs volume, deadlines and a clear hierarchy of awards. The order arrives before the results do, which means engraving strategy is the real decision. Generic plates with a separate engraved insert let you produce early and personalize late, and that is usually the difference between hitting the date and missing it. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. The gesture is the product here. Spend the thought, not just the budget.
3
Employee Recognition & Service Awards
Recognition fails when the object does not match the words. If you are marking five or ten years of someone's working life, the piece has to carry weight. Literally and otherwise. Personalization with the individual's name is what converts a company gift into a personal keepsake, and it is the single highest-leverage decision in a recognition program. Wall-mounted recognition stays visible to everyone who walks past, not just the recipient. At $37.80 before breaks, name the recipients rather than filling a table.
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. Laser engraving produces a near-black mark against the walnut, one of the highest-contrast wood results available. This reads as a gift. Give it to people you chose, not people who walked past.
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. The plaque format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. Worth personalising individually at this price; the response rate justifies it.
6
Government, Military & First Responders
This segment is precise about protocol and unforgiving about quality. Challenge coins, unit recognition, retirement and commendation pieces all carry established conventions. Sourcing compliance and documented lead times usually matter as much as the item itself. $37.80 before breaks puts this above hand-out territory. Use it that way.

What do buyers ask about ZX655?
What does it actually cost at quantity?
The published ladder on ZX655 runs from $37.80 a piece at 1-11 down to $23.44 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. 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.
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.
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows 105 of ZX655 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.
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.
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.
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.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. ZX655 sells from a single unit at $37.80, 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 is the minimum order for ZX655?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on ZX655. 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 ZX655 runs from $37.80 a piece at 1-11 down to $23.44 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
