What is the Glass Coaster?
A glass coaster, catalogued here as SBL093. The substrate was picked for decoration quality first and appearance second, which is the right order. It measures 4" diameter.
In practice: glass gives you most of the visual authority of crystal at a materially lower cost, which is what makes it the practical choice when you are recognizing a whole team rather than one person..
Deep etch sand carving frosts the surface for a bright white mark that photographs well. Laser engraving handles finer detail. Coasters live on the surface where drinks and conversations happen.
This is the workhorse tier: the price point where an item is good enough to be kept but affordable enough to order in real quantity. Most successful programs live here. Concretely: $12.15 each at 1-11, $7.53 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 3.2 in x 2.8 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.
Crystal and glass awards where depth and presence matter more than 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.
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
- Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.
- Name the PMS values for anything that has to match a brand standard; screen color is not a reliable reference.
- Type should be converted to curves or outlines, otherwise a missing font silently substitutes on our end.
- Do not spend a week hunting for the perfect file. Send what exists and we will tell you what is usable.
- Vector files are the safe option. They hold their edges whether the mark runs at an inch or a foot.
Production schedule

|---|---|
| Production, standard | 3 to 5 business days, counted from your approval |

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.
Corporate Gifting & Client Appreciation
Client gifting has one job: to be kept. Timing beats budget in this segment. The same gift sent a week after a renewal lands completely differently from one sent in December with four hundred others, because in January it is the only thing on the desk. Buy for the calendar you control rather than the one everybody shares. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. Deep enough quantity is affordable here, which is unusual at this quality.
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. An imprint area of 3.2 in x 2.8 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. The workhorse choice for this audience, and it re-orders predictably.
Hospitality, Restaurants & Breweries
In hospitality the promotional item and the retail item are the same object. Branded glassware and drinkware serve guests, then sell to guests at the end of the visit. That dual use changes the maths entirely. The decoration cost is recovered at the till rather than written off to marketing. Priced so you can cover everyone without cheapening the gesture.
Real Estate & Closing Gifts
A closing gift is a referral instrument, not a thank-you note. The gift is competing with a move, which is the least receptive moment in a person's year. Something that gets unpacked in the first week and used immediately beats something beautiful that stays in a box until the boxes are finally dealt with. At $7.53 in volume the cost per kept item is hard to beat.

What do buyers ask about SBL093?
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.
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.
What does it actually cost at quantity?
The published ladder on SBL093 runs from $12.15 a piece at 1-11 down to $7.53 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. 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 if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on SBL093 is 3.2 in x 2.8 in. If your mark does not sit well in that shape we redraw or re-proportion it and show you the result on the proof before anything is produced. Engraving is charged on the share of the area your artwork covers, so a smaller mark costs less.
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 SBL093 runs from $12.15 a piece at 1-11 down to $7.53 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
How is this decorated?
We run sand carving on SBL093 as standard. A deep, frosted, dimensional mark you can feel with a fingertip. We can also run Laser Engraving and UV Printing on this item if the artwork calls for it. The personalization area on SBL093 is 3.2 in x 2.8 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 get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. SBL093 sells from a single unit at $12.15, 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 SBL093?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on SBL093. 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 SBL093 runs from $12.15 a piece at 1-11 down to $7.53 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
