What is the Genuine Red Alder Cross?
This is a cross in quality materials. Straightforward to decorate, and durable enough that the decoration outlasts the occasion. It measures 8" x 13 5/8". This is the red colorway.
In practice: 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..
A keepsake with genuine personal meaning to the recipient. On this substrate specifically: decoration method is matched to the substrate so the mark is permanent rather than printed on top.
The piece stays on a desk for years, which is the whole return. Choose recipients the way you would choose who to take to dinner. Concretely: $70.00 each at 1-11, $43.40 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 4 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
- Raster artwork should be at least 300 dpi at the finished imprint size, on a transparent or white background.
- If brand color accuracy matters, give us the Pantone numbers rather than a screenshot to match.
- A digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.
- Convert all type to outlines so fonts do not substitute in production.
- Do not spend a week hunting for the perfect file. Send what exists and we will tell you what is usable.

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.
Nonprofit & Fundraising
Every pound spent on a donor gift is a pound not spent on the mission, so the gift has to earn it. Recognition pieces for major donors and board members are the clearest win: they are relatively few, they are highly personal, and they materially affect renewal. For event merchandise, price the item to sell rather than to give. Decoration method is matched to the substrate so the mark is permanent rather than printed on top. At $70.00 before breaks this is relationship work, not advertising.
Faith & Community Organizations
Faith communities give to mark moments rather than to advertise. These pieces are given once and kept for a lifetime, so the failure mode is not looking cheap but dating badly. Restrained typography and no year-specific styling means the piece still reads well in twenty years. The cross format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. Reserve it for named recipients: key clients, top performers, long service.
Weddings, Reunions & Milestone Events
Personal events are the one segment where the recipient genuinely wants the item personalized. Guests keep what they can use and discard what merely commemorates. An item that works on an ordinary Tuesday will outlive the event by years; one that only makes sense on the day will not survive the drive home. This is a shortlist item. Individual personalisation is expected at this level.

What do buyers ask about ACR02?
How is this decorated?
We run laser engraving on ACR02 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 ACR02 is 5 in x 4 in. 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 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.
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 in x 4 in personalization area and tell you before you pay whether it holds up at that size.
Can I see a proof before you produce the order?
Yes, and nothing runs until you have signed it off. Read it properly rather than skimming, because the approved proof is the specification we produce against. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.
How should this be cared for?
Wipe clean with a soft damp cloth. ACR02 measures 8" x 13 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.
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 ACR02?
ACR02 can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on ACR02 runs from $70.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $43.40 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on ACR02 is 5 in x 4 in.
