What is the American Walnut Framed Plaque w/Gold Trim & Black Velour Back, Black Brass Plate, 13" x 16"?
Catalogued as P1984, this plaque sits in the part of the range that gets re-ordered rather than tried once. It measures 13" x 16". This is the gold colorway, one of 2 in the range.
Walnut is the darkest of the common domestic hardwoods, which gives engraving somewhere to sit. Grain varies piece to piece. An argument for it, not against it, on an award meant to feel individual.
Laser engraving produces a near-black mark against the walnut, one of the highest-contrast wood results available. Wall-mounted recognition stays visible to everyone who walks past, not just the recipient.
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: $324.00 each at 1-11, $200.88 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 2 in x 2 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
- If brand color accuracy matters, give us the Pantone numbers rather than a screenshot to match.
- Outline your fonts before sending. It removes the most common cause of a proof coming back wrong.
- Name the PMS values for anything that has to match a brand standard; screen color is not a reliable reference.
- A digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.
- Convert all type to outlines so fonts do not substitute in production.
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
Service awardsA natural fit for service awards, which is one of the settings this plaque was specified for.
Donor recognitionSpecified regularly for donor recognition. The imprint area at 2 in x 2 in is sized for exactly that job.
Sponsor and partner recognitionSponsor and partner recognition is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
Client thank-you programsSent after a renewal, a referral or a project close, when the relationship is warm and the gesture will land.
Executive and board giftingShort lists, individual personalization, and a piece that survives scrutiny.
Renewal and retention giftsTimed to the contract date rather than the calendar, which is when the recipient is actually paying attention.
Remote team welcome kitsShipped to a home address, which for a distributed team is the only physical touch the company gets.
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. An imprint area of 2 in x 2 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. Reserved for a milestone big enough to justify the line item on its own.
2
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. At $324.00 before breaks this is a once-a-year piece.
3
Education, Schools & Universities
Education buys in waves: orientation, homecoming, graduation, staff appreciation. Student-facing items live rough. They go in backpacks, get left outdoors and are rarely cleaned, so durability matters more than finish. Faculty and donor gifting is the opposite problem and deserves an entirely separate specification. Flagship recognition. One or two of these, not a programme.
4
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. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. This is the award people photograph. Budget it as a single line.
5
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. Wall-mounted recognition stays visible to everyone who walks past, not just the recipient. $324.00 before breaks: reserved for the moment that warrants it.
How does ordering and turnaround work?

| Shipping | Free ground freight above $250, and we can split a run across individual addresses |
What do buyers ask about P1984?
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. P1984 sells from a single unit at $324.00, 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.
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.
How is this decorated?
Laser Engraving is the primary method on P1984. A focused laser removes the surface layer to expose the substrate beneath. A permanent, high-contrast, single-color mark with no ink involved. We can also run UV Printing on this item if the artwork calls for it. The personalization area on P1984 is 2 in x 2 in.
What happens if something arrives damaged?
We replace damaged pieces. Send a photograph and the item number within 10 days of delivery and we handle the carrier claim ourselves. If the box arrives visibly damaged, write that on the freight bill before signing. The replacement runs from the artwork you already approved, so it matches the rest of the order.
What does it actually cost at quantity?
Most orders land near 48-95, which prices at $259.20 a piece. The published ladder on P1984 runs from $324.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $200.88 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.
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.
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.
What is the minimum order for P1984?
P1984 can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on P1984 runs from $324.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $200.88 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on P1984 is 2 in x 2 in.
