What is the Bamboo Sticky Note Holder?
The Bamboo Sticky Note Holder is a business card holder built around Sustainably grown bamboo with a natural sealed finish. It measures 3 5/8"(L) x 4 1/2"(H).
Bamboo is a grass, not a hardwood, that is why it regrows in a few years rather than a few decades. The practical reason it is the default choice when a program has a sustainability requirement to satisfy.
It is used at the exact moment of introduction. Laser engraving burns a rich dark-brown mark into the surface. No ink, no coating, nothing to wear off.
This is the workhorse tier: the price point where an item is good enough to be kept but affordable enough to order in real quantity. Most successful programs live here. Concretely: $12.00 each at 1-11, $7.44 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 2.13 in x 3 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
- 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.
- We send a digital proof for written approval before production starts. Nothing goes on a machine until you sign it off.
- A 300 dpi raster at the actual imprint dimensions will run cleanly. Anything pulled from a web page usually will not.
- Send vector if you have it. A .ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg scales to any imprint without softening.
- Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.
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
Executive giftingExecutive gifting is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
Conference kitsA natural fit for conference kits, which is one of the settings this business card holder was specified for.
Sales team equippingSpecified regularly for sales team equipping. The imprint area at 2.13 in x 3 in is sized for exactly that job.
Fundraising and donor recognitionThanking the people who gave, in a form that quietly encourages the next person to.
Community and civic eventsLocal sponsorships and volunteer thanks, where visible presence matters more than volume.
Renewal and retention giftsTimed to the contract date rather than the calendar, which is when the recipient is actually paying attention.
Internal contests and incentivesA tangible prize outperforms a gift card for exactly the reason you would expect. It stays on the desk.
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. An imprint area of 2.13 in x 3 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. At $7.44 in volume the cost per kept item is hard to beat.
2
Trade Shows & Conferences
Booth traffic is not the metric: what leaves the hall and stays in use is. Run a two-tier giveaway: a low-cost item for everyone who stops, and a genuinely good piece reserved for qualified conversations. The second tier is what people remember when your follow-up email arrives a week later. Roughly 38% comes off between one piece and a full run.
3
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. At $12.00 before breaks this is the tier most programmes should live in.
4
Onboarding & New Hire Kits
Day one sets the tone for everything after it. Split the kit by what it signals. One item should be genuinely useful on day one, one should be shareable outside work, and one should carry the name of the team rather than the company. That mix does more for belonging than a single expensive piece. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. Good enough to be kept, affordable enough to order in real quantity.
How does ordering and turnaround work?
| Minimum order | 1 piece |
|---|---|
| Setup | None: setup is built into the price |
| Freight | Orders over $250 ship free by ground; individual address splits available on request |
| Rush service | Rush available: tell us the date and we confirm it in writing before you pay |
| Proofing | Proof back to you next business day, and nothing runs until you approve it |
| Re-orders | We keep the approved file, so a re-order reproduces it exactly |
| Shipping | Orders over $250 ship free by ground; individual address splits available on request |
What do buyers ask about GFT228A?
How should this be cared for?
Hand wash and dry immediately. Oil occasionally if used for food service. GFT228A measures 3 5/8"(L) x 4 1/2"(H) and is made of bamboo. Bamboo is a grass, not a hardwood, that is why it regrows in a few years rather than a few decades.
How is this decorated?
Laser Engraving is the primary method on GFT228A. 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 GFT228A is 2.13 in x 3 in.
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 GFT228A is 2.13 in x 3 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?
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.
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 GFT228A runs from $12.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $7.44 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
What happens if something arrives damaged?
Tell us within 10 days of delivery and we replace it. Note any damage on the freight bill before you sign for it, because that is what the carrier claim turns on. Resolving it with the carrier is our job, not yours. The replacement runs from the artwork you already approved, so it matches the rest of the order.
What is the minimum order for GFT228A?
GFT228A can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on GFT228A runs from $12.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $7.44 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on GFT228A is 2.13 in x 3 in.

- Ground freight is free from 24 pieces, which is where this order passes $250.00 of merchandise.
- The personalization area is 2.13 in by 3 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.
- At 50 pieces this costs less than 78% of the 541 other priced items in Desk & Office.
- The table starts at 12 because below that the engraving setup costs more than the goods, and we will not guess at a price there. Ask us and we will quote a smaller run from your artwork.
- Setup is free at every quantity, including 12.
