What is the Large Clear Crystal Block?
Catalogued as CRY1812, this crystal award sits in the part of the range that gets re-ordered rather than tried once. It measures 2" x 4 3/4". This is the clear colorway.
Lead content increases the refractive index, which is the technical reason lead crystal throws more light and looks noticeably more brilliant under display lighting than ordinary glass. It also adds weight, which is a large part of why crystal reads as a premium award.
Crystal is the accepted visual shorthand for "this one mattered", and that is why it remains the default for flagship recognition. Sand carving produces the deepest, most tactile mark. Laser engraving is faster and better suited to fine text and small logos. The two together are why this item re-orders.
Executive tier, where individual personalization is expected rather than optional. Budget it against specific relationships, not against a headcount. Concretely: $72.00 each at 1-11, $44.64 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 2.85 in x 1 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.
Color Fill
Engraved or carved recesses are filled with pigment. A permanent engraved mark that reads in brand color rather than substrate color.
Metal and crystal where the logo must be recognisably on-brand.
Matched to Pantone where the recess allows.
Artwork requirements
- 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.
- Type should be converted to curves or outlines, otherwise a missing font silently substitutes on our end.
- 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 digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.
- Artwork we redraw stays on file under your item number, so the next order runs from the same corrected file.
Production schedule
| Digital proof | Same or next business day |
|---|---|
| Standard run | 3 to 5 business days once the proof is signed off |
| Rush run | quoted per job once the proof is signed off, with the date confirmed in writing |
| Delivery | 1 to 5 business days on the ground network |
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.
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. Give this to the handful of people who genuinely moved the number.
Employee Recognition & Service Awards
Recognition fails when the object does not match the words. The presentation matters as much as the piece. An award handed over in a hallway is worth a fraction of the same award presented in front of the team, which means the object should be specified for the moment it will be photographed in, not the shelf it ends on. Lead content increases the refractive index, which is the technical reason lead crystal throws more light and looks noticeably more brilliant under display lighting than ordinary glass. At this price the recipient list should fit on one page.
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. Executive tier. Treat the engraving as carefully as the invoice.
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. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. Even at volume it holds $44.64, which tells you what tier this is.
Government, Military & First Responders
This segment is precise about protocol and unforgiving about quality. Procurement documentation often takes longer than production. Quotes with fixed validity periods, documented lead times and clear line-item pricing move faster through approval than a better price presented informally. An imprint area of 2.85 in x 1 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. Spend it where the relationship is worth more than the invoice.

What do buyers ask about CRY1812?
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.
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows 123 of CRY1812 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.
What happens if something arrives damaged?
We replace damaged pieces. Send a photograph and the item number within 10 days of delivery and we handle the carrier claim ourselves. If the box arrives visibly damaged, write that on the freight bill before signing. The replacement runs from the artwork you already approved, so it matches the rest of the order.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. CRY1812 sells from a single unit at $72.00, 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.
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.
What does it actually cost at quantity?
The published ladder on CRY1812 runs from $72.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $44.64 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?
Hand wash only with a soft cloth. Never dishwasher. CRY1812 measures 2" x 4 3/4" and is made of crystal. Lead content increases the refractive index, which is the technical reason lead crystal throws more light and looks noticeably more brilliant under display lighting than ordinary glass.
What is the minimum order for CRY1812?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on CRY1812. 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 CRY1812 runs from $72.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $44.64 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
