What is the Cork Portfolio with Zipper & Notepad?
The Cork Portfolio with Zipper & Notepad is a journal built around Natural cork, harvested from bark without felling the tree. It measures 9 1/2" x 12".
Worth knowing before you order: cork is naturally water-resistant, compressible and grippy, and that is what makes it work as a coaster and a base material rather than just a sustainable talking point..
A journal is carried into meetings, which puts the logo in front of third parties rather than only the recipient. On this substrate specifically: laser engraving produces a soft darkened mark. Best with bold, simple artwork rather than fine detail.
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: $55.00 each at 1-11, $34.10 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 in x 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
- Outline your fonts before sending. It removes the most common cause of a proof coming back wrong.
- We send a digital proof for written approval before production starts. Nothing goes on a machine until you sign it off.
- A 300 dpi raster at the actual imprint dimensions will run cleanly. Anything pulled from a web page usually will not.
- Vector files are the safe option. They hold their edges whether the mark runs at an inch or a foot.
- 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.

Common uses
Executive giftingA natural fit for executive gifting, which is one of the settings this journal was specified for.
Conference kitsBuilt for conference kits. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
OnboardingWorks well for onboarding, where the journal format does what a printed handout cannot.
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.
Service anniversariesFive, ten and twenty years. The object marks the span in a way a announcement never manages.
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
Trade Shows & Conferences
Booth traffic is not the metric: what leaves the hall and stays in use is. Weight and packability decide what actually leaves the hall. Anything bulky ends up in a hotel bin regardless of quality, so the constraint is what fits in a carry-on alongside everything else collected that day. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. At $55.00 before breaks this is relationship work, not advertising.
2
Financial Services, Insurance & Legal
Professional services sell trust, and the gift has to look like the invoice. The gift is often opened in front of colleagues, so it is judged as a signal about the relationship rather than as an object. Understatement is the safe default, and a name engraved properly does more than any material upgrade. A journal is carried into meetings, which puts the logo in front of third parties rather than only the recipient. Reserve it for named recipients: key clients, top performers, long service.
3
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. Laser engraving produces a soft darkened mark. Best with bold, simple artwork rather than fine detail. This is a shortlist item. Individual personalisation is expected at this level.
4
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. The journal format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. $55.00 before breaks buys something that stays on a desk for years.
5
Technology, SaaS & Startups
Distributed teams have no office to carry the culture, so the objects have to. Company swag competes with genuinely good consumer products for the same desk space, and it usually loses. The piece has to be something the recipient would plausibly have bought, or it becomes a donation to a charity shop. Give this to the handful of people who genuinely moved the number.
6
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. Cork is naturally water-resistant, compressible and grippy, and that is what makes it work as a coaster and a base material rather than just a sustainable talking point.. At this price the recipient list should fit on one page.

What do buyers ask about GFT359?
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. GFT359 sells from a single unit at $55.00, 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.
Is there a setup charge?
No. Setup is free on every order at every quantity. Art preparation, machine setup and your digital proof are built into the price, with nothing added for them later. 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 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.
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 GFT359 runs from $55.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $34.10 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
How is this decorated?
We run laser engraving on GFT359 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 GFT359 is 5 in x 5 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. Do not soak. GFT359 measures 9 1/2" x 12" and is made of cork. Cork is naturally water-resistant, compressible and grippy, and that is what makes it work as a coaster and a base material rather than just a sustainable talking point.
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows more than 1,000 of GFT359 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 is the minimum order for GFT359?
GFT359 can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on GFT359 runs from $55.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $34.10 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on GFT359 is 5 in x 5 in.

- Ground freight is free from 12 pieces, which is where this order passes $250.00 of merchandise.
- The personalization area is 5 in by 5 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 22% of the 541 other priced items in Desk & Office. 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.
