What is the Clear Acrylic Star Obelisk?
Item STA8C is a award in acrylic, chosen for how well it takes a mark and how long that mark lasts. It measures 4 3/4" x 8". This is the clear colorway.
Worth knowing before you order: acrylic is roughly half the weight of glass and dramatically harder to break, which matters more than people expect. It survives shipping to a remote office, it survives a trade show crate, and it survives being knocked off a desk.
A physical award outlasts every digital form of recognition an organization can hand out. Acrylic takes full-color UV printing beautifully, so unlike crystal it can reproduce a logo in exact brand colors rather than as a frosted silhouette. Laser engraving gives the frosted look when that is preferred. The two together are why this item re-orders.
This is the award the room looks at. It carries the weight of the moment, which is why it is priced as a single line rather than a run. Concretely: $176.00 each at 1-11, $109.12 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 3.45 in x 3.88 in.
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.
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.
Laser Cutting
The laser cuts entirely through the sheet to a custom outline. A shape cut to your logo or silhouette rather than a stock outline.
Best for
Acrylic awards and signage that should not look off-the-shelf.
Color
Material color.
Artwork requirements
- If the logo is only available as a bitmap, we need it at 300 dpi or better at final size, ideally on a transparent background.
- If brand color accuracy matters, give us the Pantone numbers rather than a screenshot to match.
- Vector files are the safe option. They hold their edges whether the mark runs at an inch or a foot.
- Type should be converted to curves or outlines, otherwise a missing font silently substitutes on our end.
- Outline your fonts before sending. It removes the most common cause of a proof coming back wrong.
- Send vector if you have it. A .ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg scales to any imprint without softening.

Common uses
Recognition programsSpecified regularly for recognition programs. The imprint area at 3.45 in x 3.88 in is sized for exactly that job.
Annual awardsBuilt for annual awards. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Milestone markingA natural fit for milestone marking, which is one of the settings this award was specified for.
Sponsorship and partner thanksGiven to the people who funded or enabled the work, in a form they can keep visible.
Event and conference giftingHanded to qualified conversations rather than to everyone, so the spend goes where the pipeline is.
Client thank-you programsSent after a renewal, a referral or a project close, when the relationship is warm and the gesture will land.
Customer loyalty tiersA physical marker of status that an account dashboard cannot replicate.
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. The recipient is rarely the decision maker you are trying to reach, which is the part most programs get wrong. Choose something that will sit in a shared space rather than a drawer, and the gift starts working on people who were never on your list. This is the award people photograph. Budget it as a single line.
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. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. $176.00 before breaks: reserved for the moment that warrants it.
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. Donors read the gift as a statement about stewardship. Something visibly expensive can cost you more in confidence than it earns in goodwill, which is why restraint and a personal inscription usually outperform scale in this sector. A physical award outlasts every digital form of recognition an organization can hand out. Bought for the one occasion a year that genuinely earns it.
4
Sports Leagues, Tournaments & Clubs
Sport needs volume, deadlines and a clear hierarchy of awards. The order arrives before the results do, which means engraving strategy is the real decision. Generic plates with a separate engraved insert let you produce early and personalize late, and that is usually the difference between hitting the date and missing it. Acrylic takes full-color UV printing beautifully, so unlike crystal it can reproduce a logo in exact brand colors rather than as a frosted silhouette. Laser engraving gives the frosted look when that is preferred. A centrepiece, not a run. Expect it on display for a decade.
5
Employee Recognition & Service Awards
Recognition fails when the object does not match the words. If you are marking five or ten years of someone's working life, the piece has to carry weight. Literally and otherwise. Personalization with the individual's name is what converts a company gift into a personal keepsake, and it is the single highest-leverage decision in a recognition program. The award format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. The piece the room looks at. Price it as an event cost, not merchandise.

What do buyers ask about STA8C?
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 STA8C runs from $176.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $109.12 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
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 STA8C is 3.45 in x 3.88 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.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. STA8C sells from a single unit at $176.00, 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.
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.
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 you work to a fixed in-hand date?
Yes, and it is the right way to brief us. Tell us the date the box has to be open rather than the date you want it shipped, and checkout works the schedule backwards from there. It refuses a date it cannot keep rather than accepting it and missing it. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.
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 STA8C?
STA8C can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on STA8C runs from $176.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $109.12 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on STA8C is 3.45 in x 3.88 in.

- Ground freight is free from 12 pieces, which is where this order passes $250.00 of merchandise.
- The personalization area is 3.45 in by 3.88 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 10% of the 3,730 other priced items in Awards & Recognition. It sits at the dearer end of that range, which is usually the material rather than the margin.
- Setup is free at every quantity, including 1.
