What is the Flame Series Crystal Award with Prism-Effect Base, 7 5/8"?
This crystal award is made from full-lead crystal with high refractive brilliance and hand-finished edges. It measures 7 5/8".
Worth knowing before you order: lead content increases the refractive index, which is the technical reason lead crystal throws more light and looks noticeably more brilliant under display lighting than ordinary glass. It also adds weight, which is a large part of why crystal reads as a premium award.
Crystal is the accepted visual shorthand for "this one mattered", and that is why it remains the default for flagship recognition. On this substrate specifically: sand carving produces the deepest, most tactile mark. Laser engraving is faster and better suited to fine text and small logos.
A centerpiece rather than a program. Budget it as an event cost, because that is what it is, and expect it to be photographed. Concretely: $168.00 each at 1-11, $104.16 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 in x 3.43 in.
Sand Carving
Abrasive is blasted through a cut mask to cut into the surface of the glass or crystal. A deep, frosted, dimensional mark you can feel with a fingertip.
Best for
Crystal and glass awards where depth and presence matter more than color.
Color
Frosted white, optionally color-filled.
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.
Color Fill
Engraved or carved recesses are filled with pigment. A permanent engraved mark that reads in brand color rather than substrate color.
Best for
Metal and crystal where the logo must be recognisably on-brand.
Color
Matched to Pantone where the recess allows.
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.
- Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.
- Artwork we redraw stays on file under your item number, so the next order runs from the same corrected file.
- Send vector if you have it. A .ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg scales to any imprint without softening.
- Raster artwork should be at least 300 dpi at the finished imprint size, on a transparent or white background.
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 |
Common uses
Executive recognitionSpecified regularly for executive recognition. The imprint area at 3 in x 3.43 in is sized for exactly that job.
Top performer awardsTop performer awards is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
Partner and board recognitionA natural fit for partner and board recognition, which is one of the settings this crystal award 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.
Service anniversariesFive, ten and twenty years. The object marks the span in a way a announcement never manages.
Employee milestonesAnniversaries, promotions and retirements: the moments where a personalized object does what an email cannot.
Fundraising and donor recognitionThanking the people who gave, in a form that quietly encourages the next person to.
Booth and trade show handoutsThe item that gives someone a reason to stop walking, and a reason to remember which booth it came from.
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. 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. A centrepiece, not a run. Expect it on display for a decade.
2
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. The piece the room looks at. Price it as an event cost, not merchandise.
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. 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. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. This is the one people stand next to in the photograph.
4
Technology, SaaS & Startups
Distributed teams have no office to carry the culture, so the objects have to. Shipping a considered kit to a home address is now a standard part of remote onboarding, and it is the rare marketing spend that shows up in retention numbers. Ship-safe materials matter more here than in any other segment. Crystal is the accepted visual shorthand for "this one mattered", and that is why it remains the default for flagship recognition. Reserved for a milestone big enough to justify the line item on its own.
5
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. Sand carving produces the deepest, most tactile mark. Laser engraving is faster and better suited to fine text and small logos. At $168.00 before breaks this is a once-a-year piece.

What do buyers ask about K9257?
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 K9257 is 3 in x 3.43 in.
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 K9257 is 3 in x 3.43 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 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 K9257 runs from $168.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $104.16 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. K9257 sells from a single unit at $168.00, 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.
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 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.
What does it actually cost at quantity?
Most orders land near 48-95, which prices at $134.40 a piece. The published ladder on K9257 runs from $168.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $104.16 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 K9257?
K9257 can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on K9257 runs from $168.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $104.16 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on K9257 is 3 in x 3.43 in.

- Ground freight is free from 12 pieces, which is where this order passes $250.00 of merchandise.
- The personalization area is 3 in by 3.43 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 29% of the 610 other priced items in Crystal & Glass. 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.
