What is the 9" x 6 3/4" Hand Rubbed Mahogany Finish Book Clock, Diamond Spun Dial, 3 Hand Movement-Black Laserable Plate Not Included?
Item BC57A is a desk clock in quality materials, chosen for how well it takes a mark and how long that mark lasts. It measures 9" x 6 3/4" x 2 1/4". This is the black colorway.
Built to survive real use rather than a single event, that is what separates a promotional item that keeps working from one that ends up in a drawer. That is the difference between something kept and something replaced.
A clock is looked at deliberately, several times a day, for years. Decoration method is matched to the substrate so the mark is permanent rather than printed on top. 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: $193.50 each at 1-11, $119.97 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 1 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.
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
- Raster artwork should be at least 300 dpi at the finished imprint size, on a transparent or white background.
- Type should be converted to curves or outlines, otherwise a missing font silently substitutes on our end.
- 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.
- Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.
- Outline your fonts before sending. It removes the most common cause of a proof coming back wrong.

|---|---|
| Standard production | 3 to 5 business days after proof approval |

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.
Government, Military & First Responders
This segment is precise about protocol and unforgiving about quality. Challenge coins, unit recognition, retirement and commendation pieces all carry established conventions. Sourcing compliance and documented lead times usually matter as much as the item itself. Built to survive real use rather than a single event, that is what separates a promotional item that keeps working from one that ends up in a drawer.. This is the one people stand next to in the photograph.
Corporate Gifting & Client Appreciation
Client gifting has one job: to be kept. Timing beats budget in this segment. The same gift sent a week after a renewal lands completely differently from one sent in December with four hundred others, because in January it is the only thing on the desk. Buy for the calendar you control rather than the one everybody shares. Reserved for a milestone big enough to justify the line item on its own.
Employee Recognition & Service Awards
Recognition fails when the object does not match the words. Consistency is what makes a recognition program credible. If a ten year award looks better this year than it did last year, everyone who got last year's version notices. Lock the specification and the supplier, and treat the item list as something you change deliberately rather than annually. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. At $193.50 before breaks this is a once-a-year piece.
Financial Services, Insurance & Legal
Professional services sell trust, and the gift has to look like the invoice. Understated materials, restrained decoration and genuine quality all read as competence. Anything that looks cheap actively undermines the positioning, so this segment skews toward crystal, leather and solid desk pieces. An imprint area of 7.5 in x 1 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. Flagship recognition. One or two of these, not a programme.

What do buyers ask about BC57A?
Can I mix colors or sizes to reach a quantity break?
Yes, provided the artwork stays the same across the run. Different artwork is fine as well: it gets its own proof, and setup stays free. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. The published ladder on BC57A runs from $193.50 a piece at 1-11 down to $119.97 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
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.
What does it actually cost at quantity?
Most orders land near 48-95, which prices at $154.80 a piece. The published ladder on BC57A runs from $193.50 a piece at 1-11 down to $119.97 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.
Is there a setup charge?
There is no setup charge, ever. Art preparation, machine setup and the proof are part of the price on this page. 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 if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on BC57A is 7.5 in x 1 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 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 7.5 in x 1 in personalization area and tell you before you pay whether it holds up at that size.
How long does production take?
Door to door at standard speed: a day for the proof, 3 to 5 business days in production, then 1 to 5 business days in transit. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.
What is the minimum order for BC57A?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on BC57A. 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 BC57A runs from $193.50 a piece at 1-11 down to $119.97 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
