What is the Genuine Walnut Step Edge Perpetual Plaque with 18 Plates?
The Genuine Walnut Step Edge Perpetual Plaque with 18 Plates is what most buyers mean when they ask for a plaque that will not look cheap in six months. It measures 10 1/2" x 13".
Walnut is the darkest of the common domestic hardwoods, which gives engraving somewhere to sit. Grain varies piece to piece. An argument for it, not against it, on an award meant to feel individual.
Laser engraving produces a near-black mark against the walnut, one of the highest-contrast wood results available. Wall-mounted recognition stays visible to everyone who walks past, not just the recipient.
This is a flagship piece. It is bought for the one or two moments a year that genuinely warrant it, and it is expected to be on display for years afterwards. Concretely: $305.00 each at 1-11, $189.10 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 9 in x 10 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.
- Artwork we redraw stays on file under your item number, so the next order runs from the same corrected file.
- Do not spend a week hunting for the perfect file. Send what exists and we will tell you what is usable.
- Name the PMS values for anything that has to match a brand standard; screen color is not a reliable reference.
- A 300 dpi raster at the actual imprint dimensions will run cleanly. Anything pulled from a web page usually will not.
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
Service awardsWorks well for service awards, where the plaque format does what a printed handout cannot.
Donor recognitionDonor recognition is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
Sponsor and partner recognitionSpecified regularly for sponsor and partner recognition. The imprint area at 9 in x 10 in is sized for exactly that job.
Customer loyalty tiersA physical marker of status that an account dashboard cannot replicate.
Team and department awardsRecognizing a group without the cost or ceremony of individual crystal for every person.
Remote team welcome kitsShipped to a home address, which for a distributed team is the only physical touch the company gets.
Employee milestonesAnniversaries, promotions and retirements: the moments where a personalized object does what an email cannot.
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
Faith & Community Organizations
Faith communities give to mark moments rather than to advertise. Baptisms, confirmations, ordinations, volunteer milestones and building dedications all call for keepsakes carrying a name and a date. Understated decoration outperforms bold branding almost every time in this segment. At $305.00 before breaks this is a once-a-year piece.
2
Sports Leagues, Tournaments & Clubs
Sport needs volume, deadlines and a clear hierarchy of awards. Awards are read as a hierarchy whether or not you intended one. If the participation piece and the champion piece look similar, the champion feels short-changed, and that is remembered longer than the result. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. Flagship recognition. One or two of these, not a programme.
3
Employee Recognition & Service Awards
Recognition fails when the object does not match the words. Consistency is what makes a recognition program credible. If a ten year award looks better this year than it did last year, everyone who got last year's version notices. Lock the specification and the supplier, and treat the item list as something you change deliberately rather than annually. An imprint area of 9 in x 10 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. This is the award people photograph. Budget it as a single line.
4
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. $305.00 before breaks: reserved for the moment that warrants it.
5
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. Bought for the one occasion a year that genuinely earns it.
6
Government, Military & First Responders
This segment is precise about protocol and unforgiving about quality. Protocol governs the object. Placement of insignia, order of precedence on a plaque and the wording of a commendation are conventions rather than preferences, and getting them wrong is the one error this segment does not overlook. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. A centrepiece, not a run. Expect it on display for a decade.

What do buyers ask about WPP18?
How should this be cared for?
Dust with a dry cloth. Keep out of direct sun and away from radiators. WPP18 measures 10 1/2" x 13" and is made of walnut. Walnut is the darkest of the common domestic hardwoods, which gives engraving somewhere to sit.
What does it actually cost at quantity?
Most orders land near 48-95, which prices at $244.00 a piece. The published ladder on WPP18 runs from $305.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $189.10 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.
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows 194 of WPP18 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.
How long does production take?
Door to door at standard speed: a day for the proof, 3 to 5 business days in production, then 1 to 5 business days in transit. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.
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 WPP18 runs from $305.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $189.10 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
What happens if something arrives damaged?
We replace damaged pieces. Send a photograph and the item number within 10 days of delivery and we handle the carrier claim ourselves. If the box arrives visibly damaged, write that on the freight bill before signing. The replacement runs from the artwork you already approved, so it matches the rest of the order.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. WPP18 sells from a single unit at $305.00, 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 is the minimum order for WPP18?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on WPP18. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. The price per piece only goes down as the quantity rises. The published ladder on WPP18 runs from $305.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $189.10 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

- Ground freight is free from 1 piece, which is where this order passes $250.00 of merchandise.
- The personalization area is 9 in by 10 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 4% 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.
