What is the Cherry Finish Plaque with Black and Gold Florentine Plate, 7" x 9", Style P4540?
Cherry Finish Plaque with Black and Gold Florentine Plate, 7" x 9", Style P4540 (P4540): a plaque where Solid wood with a natural grain and a finished surface does most of the work. It measures 7" x 9". This is the black colorway, one of 2 in the range.
Wood carries a warmth that metal and acrylic do not, and that is why it keeps showing up on service awards and retirement pieces where the message is personal rather than corporate. That is the difference between something kept and something replaced.
Laser engraving burns directly into the grain for a permanent mark. Expect slight tonal variation between pieces. Wall-mounted recognition stays visible to everyone who walks past, not just the recipient.
Executive tier, where individual personalization is expected rather than optional. Budget it against specific relationships, not against a headcount. Concretely: $93.00 each at 1-11, $57.66 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 5.5 in x 7.5 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.
Best for
Logos, names, dates and fine text. The default choice when the mark has to outlive the campaign.
Color
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.
Best for
Multi-color logos, gradients, photographs and exact brand-color matching.
Color
Full color, including white ink on dark substrates.
Artwork requirements
- Raster artwork should be at least 300 dpi at the finished imprint size, on a transparent or white background.
- We send a digital proof for written approval before production starts. Nothing goes on a machine until you sign it off.
- Do not spend a week hunting for the perfect file. Send what exists and we will tell you what is usable.
- Convert all type to outlines so fonts do not substitute in production.
- If brand color accuracy matters, give us the Pantone numbers rather than a screenshot to match.
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 |

Sponsor and partner recognitionA natural fit for sponsor and partner recognition, which is one of the settings this plaque was specified for.
Internal contests and incentivesA tangible prize outperforms a gift card for exactly the reason you would expect. It stays on the desk.
Client thank-you programsSent after a renewal, a referral or a project close, when the relationship is warm and the gesture will land.
Safety and quality milestonesMarking a record that took every person on the floor to achieve, with something they can point at.
Team and department awardsRecognizing a group without the cost or ceremony of individual crystal for every person.
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
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. $93.00 before breaks buys something that stays on a desk for years.
2
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. Wood carries a warmth that metal and acrylic do not, and that is why it keeps showing up on service awards and retirement pieces where the message is personal rather than corporate.. Give this to the handful of people who genuinely moved the number.
3
Government, Military & First Responders
This segment is precise about protocol and unforgiving about quality. Procurement documentation often takes longer than production. Quotes with fixed validity periods, documented lead times and clear line-item pricing move faster through approval than a better price presented informally. At this price the recipient list should fit on one page.
4
Faith & Community Organizations
Faith communities give to mark moments rather than to advertise. Congregations buy in small quantities across many occasions rather than in one annual run. That makes minimum order quantity and re-order consistency more important than unit price for almost every purchase in this segment. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. Executive tier. Treat the engraving as carefully as the invoice.
5
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. An imprint area of 5.5 in x 7.5 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. Even at volume it holds $57.66, which tells you what tier this is.
6
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. Spend it where the relationship is worth more than the invoice.

What do buyers ask about P4540?
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 5.5 in x 7.5 in personalization area and tell you before you pay whether it holds up at that size.
What does it actually cost at quantity?
The published ladder on P4540 runs from $93.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $57.66 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. 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.
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 if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on P4540 is 5.5 in x 7.5 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.
How long does production take?
Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit. The clock starts when you approve the proof, not when you place the order. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.
How should this be cared for?
Dust with a dry cloth. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight. P4540 measures 7" x 9" and is made of wood. Wood carries a warmth that metal and acrylic do not, and that is why it keeps showing up on service awards and retirement pieces where the message is personal rather than corporate.
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.
What is the minimum order for P4540?
P4540 can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on P4540 runs from $93.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $57.66 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on P4540 is 5.5 in x 7.5 in.
