What is the Gold Banner Easy Cup-10 1/2"?

The Gold Banner Easy Cup-10 1/2" is what most buyers mean when they ask for a trophy cup that will not look cheap in six months. It measures 10 1/2". This is the gold colorway.

Die casting captures far finer relief detail than stamping, so medals and heavier emblem pieces are cast rather than pressed. Plating then sets the finish. Gold, silver or bronze. That is the difference between something kept and something replaced.

A cup is the most recognizable award form there is. It needs no explanation in a photograph. On this substrate specifically: artwork is struck into the die, or applied as a printed or sublimated insert set into the recess.

This reads as a considered gift, which means it rewards a named list and wastes its advantage on a table by the door. Concretely: $32.75 each at 1-11, $20.31 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 1.2 in x 5 in.

Die Struck

The design is struck into metal with a custom die. Crisp raised and recessed relief in solid metal.

Best for

Medals, coins and lapel pins.

Color

Metal finish, optionally enamel-filled.

Printed Insert

A printed or sublimated disc is set into the recess of the piece. Full-color artwork inside a cast metal frame.

Best for

Medals and emblem holders where color is required.

Color

Full color.

Laser Engraving (back)

The reverse face is laser engraved. Personalization without disturbing the struck front face.

Best for

Medals with a standard front and individual backs.

Color

Substrate color.

Artwork requirements

  • Type should be converted to curves or outlines, otherwise a missing font silently substitutes on our end.
  • 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.
  • We send a digital proof for written approval before production starts. Nothing goes on a machine until you sign it off.
  • 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.
  • Vector files are the safe option. They hold their edges whether the mark runs at an inch or a foot.

Production schedule

Common uses

Championships and tournamentsSpecified regularly for championships and tournaments. The imprint area at 1.2 in x 5 in is sized for exactly that job.
Annual perpetual awardsWorks well for annual perpetual awards, where the trophy cup format does what a printed handout cannot.
Safety and quality milestonesMarking a record that took every person on the floor to achieve, with something they can point at.
Team and department awardsRecognizing a group without the cost or ceremony of individual crystal for every person.
Client thank-you programsSent after a renewal, a referral or a project close, when the relationship is warm and the gesture will land.
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

Education, Schools & Universities

Education buys in waves: orientation, homecoming, graduation, staff appreciation. Student-facing items live rough. They go in backpacks, get left outdoors and are rarely cleaned, so durability matters more than finish. Faculty and donor gifting is the opposite problem and deserves an entirely separate specification. Artwork is struck into the die, or applied as a printed or sublimated insert set into the recess. Volume takes it to $20.31, which widens the list without cheapening it.

2

Weddings, Reunions & Milestone Events

Personal events are the one segment where the recipient genuinely wants the item personalized. Names, dates and short inscriptions turn an ordinary object into something kept for decades. Quantities are modest and lead times are unforgiving, which makes production scheduling the thing to get right. The trophy cup 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.

3

Nonprofit & Fundraising

Every pound spent on a donor gift is a pound not spent on the mission, so the gift has to earn it. Donors read the gift as a statement about stewardship. Something visibly expensive can cost you more in confidence than it earns in goodwill, which is why restraint and a personal inscription usually outperform scale in this sector. At $32.75 before breaks, name the recipients rather than filling a table.

4

Sports Leagues, Tournaments & Clubs

Sport needs volume, deadlines and a clear hierarchy of awards. The order arrives before the results do, which means engraving strategy is the real decision. Generic plates with a separate engraved insert let you produce early and personalize late, and that is usually the difference between hitting the date and missing it. Die casting captures far finer relief detail than stamping, so medals and heavier emblem pieces are cast rather than pressed. This reads as a gift. Give it to people you chose, not people who walked past.

What do buyers ask about EC301G?

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. Once approved, the proof becomes the specification for the run, so check the spelling and the placement carefully. The personalization area on EC301G is 1.2 in x 5 in.

Can I get a sample before committing?

Yes: order one piece. EC301G sells from a single unit at $32.75, 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 does it actually cost at quantity?

The published ladder on EC301G runs from $32.75 a piece at 1-11 down to $20.31 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.

How should this be cared for?

Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Avoid abrasives, which cut through plating. EC301G measures 10 1/2" and is made of zinc alloy. Die casting captures far finer relief detail than stamping, so medals and heavier emblem pieces are cast rather than pressed.

Do you keep this item in stock?

Yes. The warehouse shows 504 of EC301G 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.

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 is this decorated?

We run die struck on EC301G as standard. Crisp raised and recessed relief in solid metal. We can also run Printed Insert and Laser Engraving (back) on this item if the artwork calls for it. The personalization area on EC301G is 1.2 in x 5 in. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing.

What is the minimum order for EC301G?

There is no minimum beyond one piece on EC301G. 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 EC301G runs from $32.75 a piece at 1-11 down to $20.31 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

  • At 50 pieces this costs less than 50% 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.
