What is the 5 1/2" Silver Basketball Resin?
A resin trophy, catalogued here as SBR301. The substrate was picked for decoration quality first and appearance second, which is the right order. It measures 5 1/2". This is the silver colorway.
Worth knowing before you order: casting is what allows shapes, figures, sport-specific sculpts, dimensional forms, that simply cannot be cut from crystal or metal at a comparable price. It is the reason resin dominates youth sport and participation awards.
Trophies photograph well, that matters when the award is going to be posted before it is shelved. Decoration is applied to an engraving plate or a printed plate fitted to the base, not to the sculpt itself.
Executive tier, where individual personalization is expected rather than optional. Budget it against specific relationships, not against a headcount. Concretely: $79.50 each at 1-11, $49.29 at 500+.

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.
- Send vector if you have it. A .ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg scales to any imprint without softening.
- Do not spend a week hunting for the perfect file. Send what exists and we will tell you what is usable.
- A 300 dpi raster at the actual imprint dimensions will run cleanly. Anything pulled from a web page usually will not.
- Supply Pantone (PMS) references for any color that has to match exactly.
Production schedule

|---|---|
| Standard run | 3 to 5 business days once the proof is signed off |
| Rush run | quoted per job once the proof is signed off, with the date confirmed in writing |

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.
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. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. Spend it where the relationship is worth more than the invoice.
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. An imprint area of 2.4 in x 2.75 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. At $79.50 before breaks this is relationship work, not advertising.
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. Reserve it for named recipients: key clients, top performers, long service.
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. This is a shortlist item. Individual personalisation is expected at this level.

What do buyers ask about SBR301?
Can I order more later and have them match?
Yes. We keep the approved artwork on file against the item number, so a re-order runs from the same file. Material batches can vary slightly on natural materials, which is worth knowing if color matching across orders is critical. The published ladder on SBR301 runs from $79.50 a piece at 1-11 down to $49.29 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
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 SBR301 runs from $79.50 a piece at 1-11 down to $49.29 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows 201 of SBR301 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.
How is this decorated?
We run laser engraving (plate) on SBR301 as standard. A permanent engraved plate on a cast body. We can also run UV Printing (plate) and Sublimated Plate on this item if the artwork calls for it. The personalization area on SBR301 is 2.4 in x 2.75 in. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing.
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 SBR301 is 2.4 in x 2.75 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.
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.
What happens if something arrives damaged?
Tell us within 10 days of delivery and we replace it. Note any damage on the freight bill before you sign for it, because that is what the carrier claim turns on. Resolving it with the carrier is our job, not yours. The replacement runs from the artwork you already approved, so it matches the rest of the order.
What is the minimum order for SBR301?
SBR301 can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on SBR301 runs from $79.50 a piece at 1-11 down to $49.29 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on SBR301 is 2.4 in x 2.75 in.
