What is the 5" x 11" Gloss Silver ChromaLuxe Aluminum Photo Panel?
A working photo panel. Anodised aluminum, light and corrosion-resistant. It measures 5" x 11" x .045" thick. This is the silver colorway.
In practice: aluminum gives you a metal look and metal durability at a fraction of the weight, and it matters when you are shipping several hundred units..
The image is fused into the surface rather than printed on top, so it will not yellow, peel or scratch off the way a mounted print does. That is why these outlast framed photography on a lobby wall. Laser engraving cuts through the anodised layer to bright metal. Sublimation-coated aluminum also accepts full-color photographic printing. The two together are why this item re-orders.
This is the tier where an item stops being a giveaway and starts being a gift. Order it for people you have named rather than for a table, and the response rate changes accordingly. Concretely: $22.35 each at 1-11, $13.86 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 3.5 in x 9.5 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.
Dye Sublimation
Heat converts solid dye to gas, which bonds into a polyester coating or ceramic glaze. Full-color artwork embedded in the surface rather than sitting on top of it.
Full-wrap photographic decoration on mugs, coated drinkware and coated metal.
Full color. Cannot print white. The substrate supplies white.
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
- 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.
- Artwork we redraw stays on file under your item number, so the next order runs from the same corrected file.
- We send a digital proof for written approval before production starts. Nothing goes on a machine until you sign it off.
- Send vector if you have it. A .ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg scales to any imprint without softening.
- Name the PMS values for anything that has to match a brand standard; screen color is not a reliable reference.

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.
Nonprofit & Fundraising
Every pound spent on a donor gift is a pound not spent on the mission, so the gift has to earn it. Recognition pieces for major donors and board members are the clearest win: they are relatively few, they are highly personal, and they materially affect renewal. For event merchandise, price the item to sell rather than to give. The photo panel format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. Volume takes it to $13.86, which widens the list without cheapening it.
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. The gesture is the product here. Spend the thought, not just the budget.
Healthcare & Senior Living
Healthcare buyers screen for practicality and hygiene before they screen for design. Patient-facing and staff-facing items are different purchases and should be budgeted separately. What works as a staff appreciation piece often reads as inappropriate in a waiting room, and the reverse is true just as often. Aluminum gives you a metal look and metal durability at a fraction of the weight, and it matters when you are shipping several hundred units.. At $22.35 before breaks, name the recipients rather than filling a table.
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. This reads as a gift. Give it to people you chose, not people who walked past.
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. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. Worth personalising individually at this price; the response rate justifies it.

What do buyers ask about CLX4299?
What does it actually cost at quantity?
Most orders land near 48-95, which prices at $17.88 a piece. The published ladder on CLX4299 runs from $22.35 a piece at 1-11 down to $13.86 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.
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.
How is this decorated?
We run laser engraving on CLX4299 as standard. A permanent, high-contrast, single-color mark with no ink involved. We can also run Dye Sublimation and UV Printing on this item if the artwork calls for it. The personalization area on CLX4299 is 3.5 in x 9.5 in. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing.
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 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 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 3.5 in x 9.5 in personalization area and tell you before you pay whether it holds up at that size.
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on CLX4299 is 3.5 in x 9.5 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.
What is the minimum order for CLX4299?
CLX4299 can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on CLX4299 runs from $22.35 a piece at 1-11 down to $13.86 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on CLX4299 is 3.5 in x 9.5 in.
