What is the 5" Sapphire Blue Star Sculpted Ice?
5" Sapphire Blue Star Sculpted Ice. A crystal award in crystal, specified for decoration and for daily use rather than for a display shelf. It measures 5"(H). This is the blue colorway.
In practice: 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.
Sand carving produces the deepest, most tactile mark. Laser engraving is faster and better suited to fine text and small logos. Crystal is the accepted visual shorthand for "this one mattered", and that is why it remains the default for flagship recognition.
At this level the item is buying attention rather than gratitude. Order enough to be generous with it, because restraint here saves very little and costs reach. Concretely: $7.50 each at 1-11, $4.65 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 1.2 in x 2.25 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
- Outline your fonts before sending. It removes the most common cause of a proof coming back wrong.
- Send vector if you have it. A .ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg scales to any imprint without softening.
- 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.
- If the logo is only available as a bitmap, we need it at 300 dpi or better at final size, ideally on a transparent background.
Production schedule
| Digital proof | Same or next business day |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| Delivery | 1 to 5 business days on the ground network |
Common uses
Executive recognitionBuilt for executive recognition. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Top performer awardsTop performer awards is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
Partner and board recognitionSpecified regularly for partner and board recognition. The imprint area at 1.2 in x 2.25 in is sized for exactly that job.
Team and department awardsRecognizing a group without the cost or ceremony of individual crystal for every person.
Recruiting and onboardingIncluded in offer packs and first-day kits, where the object is doing culture work from the very first hour.
Employee milestonesAnniversaries, promotions and retirements: the moments where a personalized object does what an email cannot.
Executive and board giftingShort lists, individual personalization, and a piece that survives scrutiny.
Service anniversariesFive, ten and twenty years. The object marks the span in a way a announcement never manages.
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
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. Buy for coverage. The arithmetic rewards it and the budget will not notice.
2
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. An imprint area of 1.2 in x 2.25 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. At $7.50 before breaks it is cheap enough to hand out without counting.
3
Government, Military & First Responders
This segment is precise about protocol and unforgiving about quality. Procurement documentation often takes longer than production. Quotes with fixed validity periods, documented lead times and clear line-item pricing move faster through approval than a better price presented informally. The unit cost here is low enough that reach matters more than restraint.
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. Volunteer recognition is where the money works hardest. Volunteers give time that would otherwise cost you wages, and the marginal cost of thanking them properly is trivial against what their continued involvement is worth. Order deep. At this price the waste of a few extra is cheaper than running short.
5
Technology, SaaS & Startups
Distributed teams have no office to carry the culture, so the objects have to. Shipping a considered kit to a home address is now a standard part of remote onboarding, and it is the rare marketing spend that shows up in retention numbers. Ship-safe materials matter more here than in any other segment. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. Volume is the point at $7.50; nobody is auditing this line item.
6
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. Crystal is the accepted visual shorthand for "this one mattered", and that is why it remains the default for flagship recognition. Cost per impression is the number that matters here, and it is very low.

What do buyers ask about STR33?
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.
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on STR33 is 1.2 in x 2.25 in. If your mark does not sit well in that shape we redraw or re-proportion it and show you the result on the proof before anything is produced. Engraving is charged on the share of the area your artwork covers, so a smaller mark costs less.
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.
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 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.
How should this be cared for?
Hand wash only with a soft cloth. Never dishwasher. STR33 measures 5"(H) and is made of crystal. 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.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. STR33 sells from a single unit at $7.50, 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 STR33?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on STR33. 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 STR33 runs from $7.50 a piece at 1-11 down to $4.65 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
