What is the Basketball Leatherette Luggage Tag?
Catalogued as GFT993, this luggage tag sits in the part of the range that gets re-ordered rather than tried once. It measures 4 1/4" x 2 3/4".
Leatherette solves the two problems real leather has as a promotional substrate: it is consistent from unit to unit, so a hundred pieces look like a hundred of the same piece, and it does not absorb moisture, stain, or fray at cut edges. That is the difference between something kept and something replaced.
This is one of the highest-contrast decoration surfaces in the industry. The laser removes the top layer and reveals the core color underneath, so the logo appears as a crisp, permanent, two-tone mark with no ink and nothing to wear off. It is seen by strangers in an airport. Genuinely public brand exposure.
Programs that run year after year usually settle at this tier. It clears the quality bar that decides whether something is kept, without the per-unit cost that forces a shorter list. Concretely: $9.50 each at 1-11, $5.89 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 2.55 in x 1.38 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.
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.
Debossing
A heated die presses the artwork into the material. A subtle, tactile, recessed impression in the surface color.
Leather and leatherette gifts where understatement is the point.
Blind (no color) or foil-filled.
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
- Type should be converted to curves or outlines, otherwise a missing font silently substitutes on our end.
- Vector files are the safe option. They hold their edges whether the mark runs at an inch or a foot.
- A digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.
- Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.
- We send a digital proof for written approval before production starts. Nothing goes on a machine until you sign it off.
- Supply Pantone (PMS) references for any color that has to match exactly.
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
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.
Onboarding & New Hire Kits
Day one sets the tone for everything after it. Order for the year, not the hire. Onboarding kits fail on availability rather than design: a start date arrives, the item is out of stock, and the new person gets an apology instead of a welcome. Hold quantity against forecast headcount and the problem disappears. The workhorse choice for this audience, and it re-orders predictably.
Trade Shows & Conferences
Booth traffic is not the metric: what leaves the hall and stays in use is. The giveaway is a conversation opener, not a memory device. Its real job is giving someone a reason to stand still for ninety seconds, which is why something that invites a question outperforms something that merely carries a logo. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. Priced so you can cover everyone without cheapening the gesture.
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. An imprint area of 2.55 in x 1.38 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. At $5.89 in volume the cost per kept item is hard to beat.
Technology, SaaS & Startups
Distributed teams have no office to carry the culture, so the objects have to. Shipping is the hidden cost and the hidden failure. An item that arrives damaged or takes three weeks to reach a remote hire does the opposite of what it was bought for, so pack weight and carrier reliability belong in the specification. Roughly 38% comes off between one piece and a full run.

What do buyers ask about GFT993?
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows more than 1,000 of GFT993 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 does it actually cost at quantity?
Most orders land near 48-95, which prices at $7.60 a piece. The published ladder on GFT993 runs from $9.50 a piece at 1-11 down to $5.89 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 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 GFT993 runs from $9.50 a piece at 1-11 down to $5.89 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
How should this be cared for?
Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Do not soak or machine wash. GFT993 measures 4 1/4" x 2 3/4" and is made of leatherette. Leatherette solves the two problems real leather has as a promotional substrate: it is consistent from unit to unit, so a hundred pieces look like a hundred of the same piece, and it does not absorb moisture, stain, or fray at cut edges.
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 2.55 in x 1.38 in personalization area and tell you before you pay whether it holds up at that size.
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.
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.
What is the minimum order for GFT993?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on GFT993. 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 GFT993 runs from $9.50 a piece at 1-11 down to $5.89 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

- Ground freight is free from 24 pieces, which is where this order passes $250.00 of merchandise.
- The personalization area is 2.55 in by 1.38 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 33% of the 347 other priced items in Personalized Gifts. It sits at the dearer end of that range, which is usually the material rather than the margin.
- 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.
