What is the Black Medal Box with Blue/Silver Leatherette Lid, Style GBX27?
A leatherette replacement lid, catalogued here as GBX27. The substrate was picked for decoration quality first and appearance second, which is the right order. It measures 3 1/2"(L) x 3 1/2"(W) x 1"(H). This is the black colorway, one of 3 in the range.
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.
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. Stocking replacement lids keeps an existing drinkware program alive instead of forcing a re-buy.
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: $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 2.1 in x 1 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.
- Do not spend a week hunting for the perfect file. Send what exists and we will tell you what is usable.
- A digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.
- 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.
- Artwork we redraw stays on file under your item number, so the next order runs from the same corrected file.
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
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.
Weddings, Reunions & Milestone Events
Personal events are the one segment where the recipient genuinely wants the item personalized. The deadline is absolute in a way it is not in any other segment. A wedding does not move, which means production scheduling, not selection, is where these orders fail. Lock artwork six weeks out and the rest is straightforward. At $9.50 before breaks this is the tier most programmes should live in.
Hospitality, Restaurants & Breweries
In hospitality the promotional item and the retail item are the same object. Seasonality drives the order pattern. Terraces, patios and outdoor service create demand for a different specification than winter trade does, so most venues need two lists rather than one annual order. 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.. Good enough to be kept, affordable enough to order in real quantity.
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. This is the sweet spot: real perceived value without a procurement conversation.

What do buyers ask about GBX27?
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.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. GBX27 sells from a single unit at $9.50, 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 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 1 in personalization area and tell you before you pay whether it holds up at that size.
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on GBX27 is 2.1 in x 1 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.
Can I mix colors or sizes to reach a quantity break?
Yes. GBX27 runs in 3 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+.
Can I order more later and have them match?
Yes. We keep the approved artwork on file against the item number, so a re-order runs from the same file. Material batches can vary slightly on natural materials, which is worth knowing if color matching across orders is critical. The published ladder on GBX27 runs from $9.50 a piece at 1-11 down to $5.89 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
What happens if something arrives damaged?
We replace damaged pieces. Send a photograph and the item number within 10 days of delivery and we handle the carrier claim ourselves. If the box arrives visibly damaged, write that on the freight bill before signing. The replacement runs from the artwork you already approved, so it matches the rest of the order.
What is the minimum order for GBX27?
GBX27 can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on GBX27 runs from $9.50 a piece at 1-11 down to $5.89 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on GBX27 is 2.1 in x 1 in.
