What is the 7 1/2" Crystal Soccer Ball on Clear Base?
A working crystal award. Full-lead crystal with high refractive brilliance and hand-finished edges. It measures 5 3/4" diameter x 7 1/2"(H). This is the clear colorway.
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.
Crystal is the accepted visual shorthand for "this one mattered", and that is why it remains the default for flagship recognition. Sand carving produces the deepest, most tactile mark. Laser engraving is faster and better suited to fine text and small logos. The two together are why this item re-orders.
A centerpiece rather than a program. Budget it as an event cost, because that is what it is, and expect it to be photographed. Concretely: $149.85 each at 1-11, $92.91 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 3.45 in x 3.38 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
- Raster artwork should be at least 300 dpi at the finished imprint size, on a transparent or white background.
- Outline your fonts before sending. It removes the most common cause of a proof coming back wrong.
- Type should be converted to curves or outlines, otherwise a missing font silently substitutes on our end.
- 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.
- Do not spend a week hunting for the perfect file. Send what exists and we will tell you what is usable.
Production schedule
| Proof to you | Within one business day of usable artwork arriving |
|---|---|
| Production, standard | 3 to 5 business days, counted from your approval |
| Production, rush | quoted per job, confirmed in writing before you pay |
| Transit by ground | 1 to 5 business days, by distance from the shipping point |

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. Crystal is the accepted visual shorthand for "this one mattered", and that is why it remains the default for flagship recognition. A centrepiece, not a run. Expect it on display for a decade.
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. Sand carving produces the deepest, most tactile mark. Laser engraving is faster and better suited to fine text and small logos. The piece the room looks at. Price it as an event cost, not merchandise.
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 crystal award format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. This is the one people stand next to in the photograph.
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. Reserved for a milestone big enough to justify the line item on its own.
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. 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. At $149.85 before breaks this is a once-a-year piece.
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. Flagship recognition. One or two of these, not a programme.

What do buyers ask about CRY118?
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on CRY118 is 3.45 in x 3.38 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 does it actually cost at quantity?
The published ladder on CRY118 runs from $149.85 a piece at 1-11 down to $92.91 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.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. CRY118 sells from a single unit at $149.85, 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.
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows 93 of CRY118 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.
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 CRY118 is 3.45 in x 3.38 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.
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 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 is the minimum order for CRY118?
CRY118 can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on CRY118 runs from $149.85 a piece at 1-11 down to $92.91 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on CRY118 is 3.45 in x 3.38 in.

- Ground freight is free from 12 pieces, which is where this order passes $250.00 of merchandise.
- The personalization area is 3.45 in by 3.38 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.
