What is the 4 1/2" Crystal Cube Paperweight?
Item CRY048XL is a paperweight in crystal, chosen for how well it takes a mark and how long that mark lasts. It measures 3" x 3" x 3".
Lead content increases the refractive index, which is the technical reason lead crystal throws more light and looks noticeably more brilliant under display lighting than ordinary glass. It also adds weight, which is a large part of why crystal reads as a premium award.
It sits on the desk of exactly the person you wanted to reach. On this substrate specifically: sand carving produces the deepest, most tactile mark. Laser engraving is faster and better suited to fine text and small logos.
At this price the item is a statement about the recipient. Personalize every one, and keep the list to people you could name from memory. Concretely: $88.00 each at 1-11, $54.56 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 1.8 in x 2.03 in.
Sand Carving
Abrasive is blasted through a cut mask to cut into the surface of the glass or crystal. A deep, frosted, dimensional mark you can feel with a fingertip.
Best for
Crystal and glass awards where depth and presence matter more than color.
Color
Frosted white, optionally color-filled.
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.
Color Fill
Engraved or carved recesses are filled with pigment. A permanent engraved mark that reads in brand color rather than substrate color.
Best for
Metal and crystal where the logo must be recognisably on-brand.
Color
Matched to Pantone where the recess allows.
Artwork requirements
- Send the file you have, even if it is imperfect. We will tell you honestly whether it will hold up and redraw it if it will not.
- A digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.
- Convert all type to outlines so fonts do not substitute in production.
- 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.
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
Executive desk giftsBuilt for executive desk gifts. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Closing and deal giftsWorks well for closing and deal gifts, where the paperweight format does what a printed handout cannot.
Executive and board giftingShort lists, individual personalization, and a piece that survives scrutiny.
Internal contests and incentivesA tangible prize outperforms a gift card for exactly the reason you would expect. It stays on the desk.
Safety and quality milestonesMarking a record that took every person on the floor to achieve, with something they can point at.
Employee milestonesAnniversaries, promotions and retirements: the moments where a personalized object does what an email cannot.
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. 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. Lead content increases the refractive index, which is the technical reason lead crystal throws more light and looks noticeably more brilliant under display lighting than ordinary glass. This is a shortlist item. Individual personalisation is expected at this level.
2
Employee Recognition & Service Awards
Recognition fails when the object does not match the words. The presentation matters as much as the piece. An award handed over in a hallway is worth a fraction of the same award presented in front of the team, which means the object should be specified for the moment it will be photographed in, not the shelf it ends on. $88.00 before breaks buys something that stays on a desk for years.
3
Financial Services, Insurance & Legal
Professional services sell trust, and the gift has to look like the invoice. The gift is often opened in front of colleagues, so it is judged as a signal about the relationship rather than as an object. Understatement is the safe default, and a name engraved properly does more than any material upgrade. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. Give this to the handful of people who genuinely moved the number.
4
Real Estate & Closing Gifts
A closing gift is a referral instrument, not a thank-you note. The right gift stays in the new home, gets used in front of guests, and prompts the question "where did you get that?". That is the moment your name comes up. Personalizing with the family name rather than the brokerage logo dramatically increases the odds it stays out on display. An imprint area of 1.8 in x 2.03 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. At this price the recipient list should fit on one page.

What do buyers ask about CRY048XL?
Can you work to a fixed in-hand date?
Yes. Give us the in-hand date and checkout tells you immediately whether standard production makes it. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. CRY048XL sells from a single unit at $88.00, 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.
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.
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.
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 CRY048XL runs from $88.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $54.56 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
What artwork do you need from me?
Send vector if it exists, raster at 300 dpi if it does not, and whatever you have if neither. The personalization area on CRY048XL is 1.8 in x 2.03 in, and we redraw or re-proportion anything that will not survive it. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing.
What does it actually cost at quantity?
Most orders land near 48-95, which prices at $70.40 a piece. The published ladder on CRY048XL runs from $88.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $54.56 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. Engraving is a separate line, shown per quantity in the cost table on this page, so the all-in figure is visible before checkout.
What is the minimum order for CRY048XL?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on CRY048XL. 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 CRY048XL runs from $88.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $54.56 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 1.8 in by 2.03 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 14% of the 541 other priced items in Desk & Office. It sits at the dearer end of that range, which is usually the material rather than the margin.
- Setup is free at every quantity, including 1.
