What is the 5" Star Red Velvet Acrylic?
The 5" Star Red Velvet Acrylic is a acrylic award built around Cast acrylic with flame-polished edges. It measures 5"(L) x 5"(H). This is the red colorway.
Acrylic is roughly half the weight of glass and dramatically harder to break, which matters more than people expect. It survives shipping to a remote office, it survives a trade show crate, and it survives being knocked off a desk.
Acrylic is the only award substrate that reproduces a full-color logo cleanly and survives being posted to a home address. On this substrate specifically: acrylic takes full-color UV printing beautifully, so unlike crystal it can reproduce a logo in exact brand colors rather than as a frosted silhouette. Laser engraving gives the frosted look when that is preferred.
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: $107.85 each at 1-11, $66.87 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 3 in x 2.25 in.
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.
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.
Laser Cutting
The laser cuts entirely through the sheet to a custom outline. A shape cut to your logo or silhouette rather than a stock outline.
Best for
Acrylic awards and signage that should not look off-the-shelf.
Color
Material color.
Artwork requirements
- Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.
- 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.
- If brand color accuracy matters, give us the Pantone numbers rather than a screenshot to match.
- Do not spend a week hunting for the perfect file. Send what exists and we will tell you what is usable.
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
Full-color brand awardsA natural fit for full-color brand awards, which is one of the settings this acrylic award was specified for.
Sales recognitionSales recognition is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
Remote-team shippingSpecified regularly for remote-team shipping. The imprint area at 3 in x 2.25 in is sized for exactly that job.
Safety and quality milestonesMarking a record that took every person on the floor to achieve, with something they can point at.
Service anniversariesFive, ten and twenty years. The object marks the span in a way a announcement never manages.
Event and conference giftingHanded to qualified conversations rather than to everyone, so the spend goes where the pipeline is.
Customer loyalty tiersA physical marker of status that an account dashboard cannot replicate.
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
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. Even at volume it holds $66.87, which tells you what tier this is.
2
Education, Schools & Universities
Education buys in waves: orientation, homecoming, graduation, staff appreciation. Departments buy separately even when the brand is shared, which is how a university ends up with nine versions of its own crest. A single approved item list with locked artwork solves more than any individual purchasing decision will. Acrylic is roughly half the weight of glass and dramatically harder to break, which matters more than people expect. Spend it where the relationship is worth more than the invoice.
3
Franchise & Multi-Location Brands
The hard problem in multi-location branding is consistency, not creativity. Artwork drift is cumulative and invisible until it is severe. A locked file held centrally against each item number, rather than a logo emailed between locations, is what stops forty sites gradually producing forty logos. At $107.85 before breaks this is relationship work, not advertising.
4
Sports Leagues, Tournaments & Clubs
Sport needs volume, deadlines and a clear hierarchy of awards. Participation medals for the field, distinct pieces for placegetters, and something with real presence for the overall champion. Production timing is usually the binding constraint, so lock artwork well before the event rather than after the results are known. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. Reserve it for named recipients: key clients, top performers, long service.
5
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. An imprint area of 3 in x 2.25 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. This is a shortlist item. Individual personalisation is expected at this level.

What do buyers ask about VVA231?
What does it actually cost at quantity?
The published ladder on VVA231 runs from $107.85 a piece at 1-11 down to $66.87 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?
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.
How long does production take?
Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit. The clock starts when you approve the proof, not when you place the order. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on VVA231 is 3 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.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. VVA231 sells from a single unit at $107.85, 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.
How should this be cared for?
Wipe with a soft damp cloth. Avoid ammonia-based glass cleaners, which can craze the surface. VVA231 measures 5"(L) x 5"(H) and is made of acrylic. Acrylic is roughly half the weight of glass and dramatically harder to break, which matters more than people expect.
What is the minimum order for VVA231?
VVA231 can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on VVA231 runs from $107.85 a piece at 1-11 down to $66.87 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on VVA231 is 3 in x 2.25 in.
