What is the 9" x 12" Value Matte Black Finish Slide-In Frame Plaque with 7" x 5" Window?
Item VAL3SDN12 is a replacement lid in wood, chosen for how well it takes a mark and how long that mark lasts. It measures 9" x 12". This is the matte black colorway.
Wood carries a warmth that metal and acrylic do not, and that is why it keeps showing up on service awards and retirement pieces where the message is personal rather than corporate.
Stocking replacement lids keeps an existing drinkware program alive instead of forcing a re-buy. On this substrate specifically: laser engraving burns directly into the grain for a permanent mark. Expect slight tonal variation between pieces.
Gift tier. The economics stop being about impressions and start being about the specific relationships you spend it on. Concretely: $36.75 each at 1-11, $22.79 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 7.5 in x 10 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.
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.
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.
Artwork requirements
- Convert all type to outlines so fonts do not substitute in production.
- A 300 dpi raster at the actual imprint dimensions will run cleanly. Anything pulled from a web page usually will not.
- Outline your fonts before sending. It removes the most common cause of a proof coming back wrong.
- Vector files are the safe option. They hold their edges whether the mark runs at an inch or a foot.
- Supply Pantone (PMS) references for any color that has to match exactly.
- We send a digital proof for written approval before production starts. Nothing goes on a machine until you sign it off.
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
Program replenishmentSpecified regularly for program replenishment. The imprint area at 7.5 in x 10 in is sized for exactly that job.
Drinkware add-onBuilt for drinkware add-on. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Safety and quality milestonesMarking a record that took every person on the floor to achieve, with something they can point at.
Customer loyalty tiersA physical marker of status that an account dashboard cannot replicate.
Event and conference giftingHanded to qualified conversations rather than to everyone, so the spend goes where the pipeline is.
Client thank-you programsSent after a renewal, a referral or a project close, when the relationship is warm and the gesture will land.
Community and civic eventsLocal sponsorships and volunteer thanks, where visible presence matters more than volume.
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
Corporate Gifting & Client Appreciation
Client gifting has one job: to be kept. The recipient is rarely the decision maker you are trying to reach, which is the part most programs get wrong. Choose something that will sit in a shared space rather than a drawer, and the gift starts working on people who were never on your list. At $36.75 before breaks, name the recipients rather than filling a table.
2
Weddings, Reunions & Milestone Events
Personal events are the one segment where the recipient genuinely wants the item personalized. Names, dates and short inscriptions turn an ordinary object into something kept for decades. Quantities are modest and lead times are unforgiving, which makes production scheduling the thing to get right. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. This reads as a gift. Give it to people you chose, not people who walked past.
3
Hospitality, Restaurants & Breweries
In hospitality the promotional item and the retail item are the same object. Breakage and theft are line items, not accidents. Popular branded glassware walks out of a venue at a predictable rate, and the sensible response is to price it for retail rather than to fight it. Stocking replacement lids keeps an existing drinkware program alive instead of forcing a re-buy. Worth personalising individually at this price; the response rate justifies it.
How does ordering and turnaround work?
| Minimum order | 1 piece |
|---|---|
| Setup | None: setup is built into the price |
| Freight | Free ground freight on every order over $250; split shipping to individual addresses available |
| Rush service | Rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before payment |
| Proofing | Digital proof within 1 business day; production begins on written approval |
| Re-orders | We keep the approved file, so a re-order reproduces it exactly |
| Shipping | Free ground freight on every order over $250; split shipping to individual addresses available |
What do buyers ask about VAL3SDN12?
How should this be cared for?
Dust with a dry cloth. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight. VAL3SDN12 measures 9" x 12" and is made of wood. Wood carries a warmth that metal and acrylic do not, and that is why it keeps showing up on service awards and retirement pieces where the message is personal rather than corporate.
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 see a proof before you produce the order?
Always, and we do not start without written approval. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing. Once approved, the proof becomes the specification for the run, so check the spelling and the placement carefully. The personalization area on VAL3SDN12 is 7.5 in x 10 in.
Is there a setup charge?
No. Setup is free on every order at every quantity. Art preparation, machine setup and your digital proof are built into the price, with nothing added for them later. Engraving is a separate line, shown per quantity in the cost table on this page, so the all-in figure is visible before checkout.
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 VAL3SDN12 is 7.5 in x 10 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.
How is this decorated?

We can also run UV Printing on this item if the artwork calls for it. The personalization area on VAL3SDN12 is 7.5 in x 10 in.
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows more than 1,000 of VAL3SDN12 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.
