What is the Baseball/Softball Astro Award-8 3/4"?
A working award. Cast resin, hand-painted and finished. It measures 8 3/4".
Worth knowing before you order: casting is what allows shapes, figures, sport-specific sculpts, dimensional forms, that simply cannot be cut from crystal or metal at a comparable price. It is the reason resin dominates youth sport and participation awards.
A physical award outlasts every digital form of recognition an organization can hand out. Decoration is applied to an engraving plate or a printed plate fitted to the base, not to the sculpt itself.
Gift tier. The economics stop being about impressions and start being about the specific relationships you spend it on. Concretely: $26.75 each at 1-11, $16.59 at 500+.

Artwork requirements
- A digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.
- Send the file you have, even if it is imperfect. We will tell you honestly whether it will hold up and redraw it if it will not.
- Do not spend a week hunting for the perfect file. Send what exists and we will tell you what is usable.
- Artwork we redraw stays on file under your item number, so the next order runs from the same corrected file.
- If brand color accuracy matters, give us the Pantone numbers rather than a screenshot to match.
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
Recognition programsBuilt for recognition programs. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Annual awardsAnnual awards is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
Milestone markingA natural fit for milestone marking, which is one of the settings this award was specified for.
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.
Employee milestonesAnniversaries, promotions and retirements: the moments where a personalized object does what an email cannot.
Remote team welcome kitsShipped to a home address, which for a distributed team is the only physical touch the company gets.
Event and conference giftingHanded to qualified conversations rather than to everyone, so the spend goes where the pipeline is.
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. The presentation matters as much as the piece. An award handed over in a hallway is worth a fraction of the same award presented in front of the team, which means the object should be specified for the moment it will be photographed in, not the shelf it ends on. Worth personalising individually at this price; the response rate justifies it.
2
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. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. $26.75 before breaks puts this above hand-out territory. Use it that way.
3
Education, Schools & Universities
Education buys in waves: orientation, homecoming, graduation, staff appreciation. Budgets are tight and quantities are large, which pushes toward mid-tier items ordered in volume. Alumni and donor gifting is the exception: that is where the spend per unit rises sharply, because the return is measured in gifts rather than impressions. An imprint area of 2.1 in x 4.38 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. Reserve this for the shortlist and the response changes noticeably.
4
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. Personalise it. At this tier a name is what makes it land.
5
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. Too good to scatter. Pick the recipients deliberately.

What do buyers ask about AA212?
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. AA212 sells from a single unit at $26.75, 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.
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 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 2.1 in x 4.38 in personalization area and tell you before you pay whether it holds up at that size.
How is this decorated?
We run laser engraving (plate) on AA212 as standard. A permanent engraved plate on a cast body. We can also run UV Printing (plate) and Sublimated Plate on this item if the artwork calls for it. The personalization area on AA212 is 2.1 in x 4.38 in. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing.
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.
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 AA212 runs from $26.75 a piece at 1-11 down to $16.59 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
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 is the minimum order for AA212?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on AA212. 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 AA212 runs from $26.75 a piece at 1-11 down to $16.59 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

- Ground freight is free from 12 pieces, which is where this order passes $250.00 of merchandise.
- The personalization area is 2.1 in by 4.38 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 53% of the 3,730 other priced items in Awards & Recognition.
- 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.
