What is the Basketball Blaze Award?
Basketball Blaze Award (BZ02): a award where Cast resin, hand-painted and finished does most of the work. It measures 7".
In practice: 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.
Decoration is applied to an engraving plate or a printed plate fitted to the base, not to the sculpt itself. A physical award outlasts every digital form of recognition an organization can hand out.
The middle of the range, and the part of it that does the most work. Good enough that people keep it, cheap enough that you can cover an entire department. Concretely: $14.25 each at 1-11, $8.83 at 500+.

Artwork requirements
- Supply Pantone (PMS) references for any color that has to match exactly.
- 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.
- 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.
- A digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.
- A 300 dpi raster at the actual imprint dimensions will run cleanly. Anything pulled from a web page usually will not.
Production schedule

|---|---|
| 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 |

Common uses
Recognition programsA natural fit for recognition programs, which is one of the settings this award was specified for.
Annual awardsAnnual awards is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
Milestone markingSpecified regularly for milestone marking. The imprint area at 1.95 in x 3.5 in is sized for exactly that job.
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.
Remote team welcome kitsShipped to a home address, which for a distributed team is the only physical touch the company gets.
Employee milestonesAnniversaries, promotions and retirements: the moments where a personalized object does what an email cannot.
Fundraising and donor recognitionThanking the people who gave, in a form that quietly encourages the next person to.
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
Corporate Gifting & Client Appreciation
Client gifting has one job: to be kept. A gift that lands on a client desk and stays there keeps working long after the meeting that prompted it. That argues for fewer, better pieces rather than a large volume of disposables, and for decoration that will still look intentional in two years. The workhorse choice for this audience, and it re-orders predictably.
2
Education, Schools & Universities
Education buys in waves: orientation, homecoming, graduation, staff appreciation. Departments buy separately even when the brand is shared, which is how a university ends up with nine versions of its own crest. A single approved item list with locked artwork solves more than any individual purchasing decision will. Priced so you can cover everyone without cheapening the gesture.
3
Nonprofit & Fundraising
Every pound spent on a donor gift is a pound not spent on the mission, so the gift has to earn it. Volunteer recognition is where the money works hardest. Volunteers give time that would otherwise cost you wages, and the marginal cost of thanking them properly is trivial against what their continued involvement is worth. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. At $8.83 in volume the cost per kept item is hard to beat.
4
Sports Leagues, Tournaments & Clubs
Sport needs volume, deadlines and a clear hierarchy of awards. Participation medals for the field, distinct pieces for placegetters, and something with real presence for the overall champion. Production timing is usually the binding constraint, so lock artwork well before the event rather than after the results are known. A physical award outlasts every digital form of recognition an organization can hand out. Roughly 38% comes off between one piece and a full run.
5
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. Decoration is applied to an engraving plate or a printed plate fitted to the base, not to the sculpt itself. At $14.25 before breaks this is the tier most programmes should live in.

What do buyers ask about BZ02?
How should this be cared for?
Dust with a soft dry cloth. BZ02 measures 7" and is made of resin. Casting is what allows shapes, figures, sport-specific sculpts, dimensional forms, that simply cannot be cut from crystal or metal at a comparable price. We keep the approved artwork on file against the item number, so a re-order runs from the same file.
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 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 BZ02 is 1.95 in x 3.5 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.
How is this decorated?
We run laser engraving (plate) on BZ02 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 BZ02 is 1.95 in x 3.5 in. 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 keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows more than 1,000 of BZ02 in stock as of the last hourly sync. If a color is short we say so the day you order rather than the week before the deadline. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.
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.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. BZ02 sells from a single unit at $14.25, 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.
What is the minimum order for BZ02?
BZ02 can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on BZ02 runs from $14.25 a piece at 1-11 down to $8.83 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on BZ02 is 1.95 in x 3.5 in.

- Ground freight is free from 24 pieces, which is where this order passes $250.00 of merchandise.
- The personalization area is 1.95 in by 3.5 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 67% 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.
