What is the Apex Series Glass Award on Black Piano Finish Base with Silver Aluminum Accents, 6 5/8" x 7 7/8"?
The Apex Series Glass Award on Black Piano Finish Base with Silver Aluminum Accents, 6 5/8" x 7 7/8" is what most buyers mean when they ask for a plaque that will not look cheap in six months. It measures 6 5/8" x 7 7/8". This is the black colorway, one of 2 in the range.
Worth knowing before you order: glass gives you most of the visual authority of crystal at a materially lower cost, which is what makes it the practical choice when you are recognizing a whole team rather than one person..
Wall-mounted recognition stays visible to everyone who walks past, not just the recipient. Deep etch sand carving frosts the surface for a bright white mark that photographs well. Laser engraving handles finer detail. The two together are why this item re-orders.
Executive tier, where individual personalization is expected rather than optional. Budget it against specific relationships, not against a headcount. Concretely: $96.00 each at 1-11, $59.52 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.
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.
Crystal and glass awards where depth and presence matter more than 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.
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
- Vector files are the safe option. They hold their edges whether the mark runs at an inch or a foot.
- 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.
- Type should be converted to curves or outlines, otherwise a missing font silently substitutes on our end.
- We send a digital proof for written approval before production starts. Nothing goes on a machine until you sign it off.
- Convert all type to outlines so fonts do not substitute in production.
- Send vector if you have it. A .ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg scales to any imprint without softening.

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.
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. This is a shortlist item. Individual personalisation is expected at this level.
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. $96.00 before breaks buys something that stays on a desk for years.
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. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. Give this to the handful of people who genuinely moved the number.
Sports Leagues, Tournaments & Clubs
Sport needs volume, deadlines and a clear hierarchy of awards. The order arrives before the results do, which means engraving strategy is the real decision. Generic plates with a separate engraved insert let you produce early and personalize late, and that is usually the difference between hitting the date and missing it. Wall-mounted recognition stays visible to everyone who walks past, not just the recipient. At this price the recipient list should fit on one page.
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. Deep etch sand carving frosts the surface for a bright white mark that photographs well. Laser engraving handles finer detail. Executive tier. Treat the engraving as carefully as the invoice.

What do buyers ask about G2412?
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. G2412 sells from a single unit at $96.00, 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.
How should this be cared for?
Hand wash recommended. Avoid thermal shock. G2412 measures 6 5/8" x 7 7/8" and is made of glass. Glass gives you most of the visual authority of crystal at a materially lower cost, which is what makes it the practical choice when you are recognizing a whole team rather than one person.
Can I mix colors or sizes to reach a quantity break?
Yes. G2412 runs in 2 colors and they combine for pricing, as long as the artwork does not change between them. 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+.
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on G2412 is 2 in x 2 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.
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.
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.
What does it actually cost at quantity?
Most orders land near 48-95, which prices at $76.80 a piece. The published ladder on G2412 runs from $96.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $59.52 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.
What is the minimum order for G2412?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on G2412. 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 G2412 runs from $96.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $59.52 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
