What is the Black/Silver?
A working promotional product. Quality materials selected for decoration and everyday durability. It measures 2 7/8" x 6 5/8". This is the black colorway, one of 2 in the range.
Built to survive real use rather than a single event, that is what separates a promotional item that keeps working from one that ends up in a drawer. That is the difference between something kept and something replaced.
Chosen for a combination of perceived value, decoration quality and keep-rate rather than headline unit price. Decoration method is matched to the substrate so the mark is permanent rather than printed on top.
At this price the item is a statement about the recipient. Personalize every one, and keep the list to people you could name from memory. Concretely: $63.00 each at 1-11, $39.06 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 1.73 in x 3.31 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.
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
- If brand color accuracy matters, give us the Pantone numbers rather than a screenshot to match.
- Name the PMS values for anything that has to match a brand standard; screen color is not a reliable reference.
- Raster artwork should be at least 300 dpi at the finished imprint size, on a transparent or white background.
- Convert all type to outlines so fonts do not substitute in production.
- Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.

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. A welcome kit waiting on a desk, or arriving at a home address before a remote start, is the cheapest culture signal an employer can buy. Items that get used daily do the most work here, because they keep signalling belonging long after week one. Executive tier. Treat the engraving as carefully as the invoice.
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. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. Even at volume it holds $39.06, which tells you what tier this is.
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. An imprint area of 1.73 in x 3.31 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. Spend it where the relationship is worth more than the invoice.
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. At $63.00 before breaks this is relationship work, not advertising.
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. Reserve it for named recipients: key clients, top performers, long service.
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. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. This is a shortlist item. Individual personalisation is expected at this level.

What do buyers ask about GFT1005?
Can I see a proof before you produce the order?
Always, and we do not start without written approval. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing. Once approved, the proof becomes the specification for the run, so check the spelling and the placement carefully. The personalization area on GFT1005 is 1.73 in x 3.31 in.
Can I order more later and have them match?
Re-orders reproduce rather than reinterpret. We keep the approved artwork on file against the item number, so a re-order runs from the same file. On natural materials the base itself can shift a little between batches, so tell us if an exact match matters. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.
How is this decorated?
We run laser engraving on GFT1005 as standard. 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 GFT1005 is 1.73 in x 3.31 in. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing.
How should this be cared for?
Wipe clean with a soft damp cloth. GFT1005 measures 2 7/8" x 6 5/8". Built to survive real use rather than a single event, that is what separates a promotional item that keeps working from one that ends up in a drawer.
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 mix colors or sizes to reach a quantity break?
Yes. GFT1005 runs in 2 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+.
What does it actually cost at quantity?
Most orders land near 48-95, which prices at $50.40 a piece. The published ladder on GFT1005 runs from $63.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $39.06 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.
What is the minimum order for GFT1005?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on GFT1005. 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 GFT1005 runs from $63.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $39.06 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
