What is the Gloss Rectangle Matte Stone with Stands, 5 1/2" x 7 1/2" x 3/8"?
The Gloss Rectangle Matte Stone with Stands, 5 1/2" x 7 1/2" x 3/8" is a award built around Natural slate with a riven face and a rough, unfinished edge. It measures 5 1/2" x 7 1/2" x 3/8". This is the stone colorway.
Every piece of slate is geologically unique: thickness, tone and surface texture all vary. Buyers who want uniformity should choose glass; buyers who want each piece to feel individual choose slate for exactly this reason.
Laser engraving lifts a bright, chalk-white mark out of the dark stone. The contrast is extremely strong and needs no ink. A physical award outlasts every digital form of recognition an organization can hand out.
Gift tier. The economics stop being about impressions and start being about the specific relationships you spend it on. Concretely: $22.50 each at 1-11, $13.95 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 in x 3.5 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.
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.
Artwork requirements
- A digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.
- A 300 dpi raster at the actual imprint dimensions will run cleanly. Anything pulled from a web page usually will not.
- If the logo is only available as a bitmap, we need it at 300 dpi or better at final size, ideally on a transparent background.
- Vector files are the safe option. They hold their edges whether the mark runs at an inch or a foot.
- Supply Pantone (PMS) references for any color that has to match exactly.
- Artwork we redraw stays on file under your item number, so the next order runs from the same corrected file.

Common uses
Recognition programsRecognition programs is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
Annual awardsBuilt for annual awards. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Milestone markingMilestone marking is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
Executive and board giftingShort lists, individual personalization, and a piece that survives scrutiny.
Client thank-you programsSent after a renewal, a referral or a project close, when the relationship is warm and the gesture will land.
Service anniversariesFive, ten and twenty years. The object marks the span in a way a announcement never manages.
Renewal and retention giftsTimed to the contract date rather than the calendar, which is when the recipient is actually paying attention.
Remote team welcome kitsShipped to a home address, which for a distributed team is the only physical touch the company gets.
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
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. A physical award outlasts every digital form of recognition an organization can hand out. Too good to scatter. Pick the recipients deliberately.
2
Corporate Gifting & Client Appreciation
Client gifting has one job: to be kept. A gift that lands on a client desk and stays there keeps working long after the meeting that prompted it. That argues for fewer, better pieces rather than a large volume of disposables, and for decoration that will still look intentional in two years. Laser engraving lifts a bright, chalk-white mark out of the dark stone. The contrast is extremely strong and needs no ink. Volume takes it to $13.95, which widens the list without cheapening it.
3
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. The award format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. The gesture is the product here. Spend the thought, not just the budget.
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. Volunteer recognition is where the money works hardest. Volunteers give time that would otherwise cost you wages, and the marginal cost of thanking them properly is trivial against what their continued involvement is worth. At $22.50 before breaks, name the recipients rather than filling a table.
5
Sports Leagues, Tournaments & Clubs
Sport needs volume, deadlines and a clear hierarchy of awards. Participation medals for the field, distinct pieces for placegetters, and something with real presence for the overall champion. Production timing is usually the binding constraint, so lock artwork well before the event rather than after the results are known. Every piece of slate is geologically unique: thickness, tone and surface texture all vary. This reads as a gift. Give it to people you chose, not people who walked past.

What do buyers ask about SBL160?
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 should this be cared for?
Wipe with a damp cloth. Oil lightly to restore depth of color. SBL160 measures 5 1/2" x 7 1/2" x 3/8" and is made of slate. Every piece of slate is geologically unique: thickness, tone and surface texture all vary.
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 SBL160 runs from $22.50 a piece at 1-11 down to $13.95 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
What happens if something arrives damaged?
Tell us within 10 days of delivery and we replace it. Note any damage on the freight bill before you sign for it, because that is what the carrier claim turns on. Resolving it with the carrier is our job, not yours. The replacement runs from the artwork you already approved, so it matches the rest of the order.
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 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 SBL160 runs from $22.50 a piece at 1-11 down to $13.95 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
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.
What is the minimum order for SBL160?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on SBL160. 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 SBL160 runs from $22.50 a piece at 1-11 down to $13.95 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

- Ground freight is free from 12 pieces, which is where this order passes $250.00 of merchandise.
- The personalization area is 3 in by 3.5 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 56% of the 3,730 other priced items in Awards & Recognition.
- The table starts at 12 because below that the engraving setup costs more than the goods, and we will not guess at a price there. Ask us and we will quote a smaller run from your artwork.
- Setup is free at every quantity, including 12.
