What is the Gloss Hardboard Mini-Basketball Hoop?
The Gloss Hardboard Mini-Basketball Hoop is a game set built around Cast resin, hand-painted and finished. It measures 7.5" x 9" x .75".
In practice: casting is what allows shapes, figures, sport-specific sculpts, dimensional forms, that simply cannot be cut from crystal or metal at a comparable price. It is the reason resin dominates youth sport and participation awards.
Decoration is applied to an engraving plate or a printed plate fitted to the base, not to the sculpt itself. It gets brought out when other people are in the room, which is the whole point. Your mark is on the table during the conversation.
This is the tier where an item stops being a giveaway and starts being a gift. Order it for people you have named rather than for a table, and the response rate changes accordingly. Concretely: $29.55 each at 1-11, $18.32 at 500+.

Artwork requirements
- Vector files are the safe option. They hold their edges whether the mark runs at an inch or a foot.
- We send a digital proof for written approval before production starts. Nothing goes on a machine until you sign it off.
- Vector artwork (.ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg) reproduces best at every size and is what we ask for first.
- 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.

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. The recipient is rarely the decision maker you are trying to reach, which is the part most programs get wrong. Choose something that will sit in a shared space rather than a drawer, and the gift starts working on people who were never on your list. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. Too good to scatter. Pick the recipients deliberately.
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. An imprint area of 4.5 in x 4.5 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. Volume takes it to $18.32, which widens the list without cheapening it.
Weddings, Reunions & Milestone Events
Personal events are the one segment where the recipient genuinely wants the item personalized. The deadline is absolute in a way it is not in any other segment. A wedding does not move, which means production scheduling, not selection, is where these orders fail. Lock artwork six weeks out and the rest is straightforward. The gesture is the product here. Spend the thought, not just the budget.
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. At $29.55 before breaks, name the recipients rather than filling a table.
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. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. This reads as a gift. Give it to people you chose, not people who walked past.

What do buyers ask about UN5548?
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.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. UN5548 sells from a single unit at $29.55, 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 if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on UN5548 is 4.5 in x 4.5 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.
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.
Is there a setup charge?
No. Setup is free on every order at every quantity. Art preparation, machine setup and your digital proof are built into the price, with nothing added for them later. Engraving is a separate line, shown per quantity in the cost table on this page, so the all-in figure is visible before checkout.
How is this decorated?
Laser Engraving (plate) is the primary method on UN5548. The engraving plate is lasered, then fitted to the award. A permanent engraved plate on a cast body. We can also run UV Printing (plate) and Sublimated Plate on this item if the artwork calls for it. The personalization area on UN5548 is 4.5 in x 4.5 in.
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 UN5548 runs from $29.55 a piece at 1-11 down to $18.32 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
What is the minimum order for UN5548?
UN5548 can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on UN5548 runs from $29.55 a piece at 1-11 down to $18.32 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on UN5548 is 4.5 in x 4.5 in.
