What is the Gloss ChromaLuxe Aluminum Photo Panel, 5" x 10" x .045"?
A working photo panel. Anodised aluminum, light and corrosion-resistant. It measures 5" x 10" x .045".
Aluminum gives you a metal look and metal durability at a fraction of the weight, and it matters when you are shipping several hundred units.
The image is fused into the surface rather than printed on top, so it will not yellow, peel or scratch off the way a mounted print does. That is why these outlast framed photography on a lobby wall. On this substrate specifically: laser engraving cuts through the anodised layer to bright metal. Sublimation-coated aluminum also accepts full-color photographic printing.
This reads as a considered gift, which means it rewards a named list and wastes its advantage on a table by the door. Concretely: $33.90 each at 1-11, $21.02 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 3.5 in x 8.5 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.
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.
Dye Sublimation
Heat converts solid dye to gas, which bonds into a polyester coating or ceramic glaze. Full-color artwork embedded in the surface rather than sitting on top of it.
Full-wrap photographic decoration on mugs, coated drinkware and coated metal.
Full color. Cannot print white. The substrate supplies white.
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
- Outline your fonts before sending. It removes the most common cause of a proof coming back wrong.
- Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.
- A 300 dpi raster at the actual imprint dimensions will run cleanly. Anything pulled from a web page usually will not.
- Supply Pantone (PMS) references for any color that has to match exactly.
- Vector artwork (.ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg) reproduces best at every size and is what we ask for first.
- 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. Worth personalising individually at this price; the response rate justifies it.
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. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. $33.90 before breaks puts this above hand-out territory. Use it that way.
Healthcare & Senior Living
Healthcare buyers screen for practicality and hygiene before they screen for design. Patient-facing and staff-facing items are different purchases and should be budgeted separately. What works as a staff appreciation piece often reads as inappropriate in a waiting room, and the reverse is true just as often. The image is fused into the surface rather than printed on top, so it will not yellow, peel or scratch off the way a mounted print does. That is why these outlast framed photography on a lobby wall. Reserve this for the shortlist and the response changes noticeably.
Real Estate & Closing Gifts
A closing gift is a referral instrument, not a thank-you note. The right gift stays in the new home, gets used in front of guests, and prompts the question "where did you get that?". That is the moment your name comes up. Personalizing with the family name rather than the brokerage logo dramatically increases the odds it stays out on display. Laser engraving cuts through the anodised layer to bright metal. Sublimation-coated aluminum also accepts full-color photographic printing. Personalise it. At this tier a name is what makes it land.
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 photo panel format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. Too good to scatter. Pick the recipients deliberately.

What do buyers ask about CLX4114?
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 CLX4114 runs from $33.90 a piece at 1-11 down to $21.02 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on CLX4114 is 3.5 in x 8.5 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.

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 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 CLX4114 is 3.5 in x 8.5 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 CLX4114 runs from $33.90 a piece at 1-11 down to $21.02 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
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.
