What is the 3" x 1 1/2" Gray Leatherette Oval Badge with Frame?
Item BDG205 is a picture frame in leatherette, chosen for how well it takes a mark and how long that mark lasts. It measures 3" x 1 1/2". This is the gray colorway.
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.
A frame guarantees display, because the recipient supplies the reason to display it. 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.
This is table-stock: priced to be handed out freely. The metric that matters is how many you can put into circulation, not what each one felt like to give. 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.
Logos, names, dates and fine text. The default choice when the mark has to outlive the campaign.
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.
Leather and leatherette gifts where understatement is the point.
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.
Multi-color logos, gradients, photographs and exact brand-color matching.
Full color, including white ink on dark substrates.
Artwork requirements
- Raster artwork should be at least 300 dpi at the finished imprint size, on a transparent or white background.
- A digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.
- Vector artwork (.ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg) reproduces best at every size and is what we ask for first.
- Artwork we redraw stays on file under your item number, so the next order runs from the same corrected file.
- A 300 dpi raster at the actual imprint dimensions will run cleanly. Anything pulled from a web page usually will not.

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 this price the risk is under-ordering, not over-ordering.
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. Down to $2.48 at volume, which is where this stops being a cost.
Education, Schools & Universities
Education buys in waves: orientation, homecoming, graduation, staff appreciation. Budgets are tight and quantities are large, which pushes toward mid-tier items ordered in volume. Alumni and donor gifting is the exception: that is where the spend per unit rises sharply, because the return is measured in gifts rather than impressions. An imprint area of 1.75 in x 1 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. Buy for coverage. The arithmetic rewards it and the budget will not notice.
Weddings, Reunions & Milestone Events
Personal events are the one segment where the recipient genuinely wants the item personalized. The deadline is absolute in a way it is not in any other segment. A wedding does not move, which means production scheduling, not selection, is where these orders fail. Lock artwork six weeks out and the rest is straightforward. At $4.00 before breaks it is cheap enough to hand out without counting.

| Shipping | Free ground freight above $250, and we can split a run across individual addresses |
What do buyers ask about BDG205?
How should this be cared for?
Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Do not soak or machine wash. BDG205 measures 3" x 1 1/2" and is made of leatherette. 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.
How is this decorated?
Laser Engraving is the primary method on BDG205. 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 Debossing and UV Printing on this item if the artwork calls for it. The personalization area on BDG205 is 1.75 in x 1 in.
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 1.75 in x 1 in personalization area and tell you before you pay whether it holds up at that size.
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 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 BDG205 runs from $4.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $2.48 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. BDG205 sells from a single unit at $4.00, 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.
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.
What is the minimum order for BDG205?
BDG205 can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on BDG205 runs from $4.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $2.48 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on BDG205 is 1.75 in x 1 in.
