What is the Male Basketball Resin?
A resin trophy, catalogued here as JDS15. The substrate was picked for decoration quality first and appearance second, which is the right order. It measures 9 1/2".
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. Trophies photograph well, that matters when the award is going to be posted before it is shelved.
Above handout territory. The value here is in choosing recipients deliberately, because the object is good enough that the choosing is part of the message. Concretely: $34.00 each at 1-11, $21.08 at 500+.

Artwork requirements
- Do not spend a week hunting for the perfect file. Send what exists and we will tell you what is usable.
- A 300 dpi raster at the actual imprint dimensions will run cleanly. Anything pulled from a web page usually will not.
- Send vector if you have it. A .ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg scales to any imprint without softening.
- Artwork we redraw stays on file under your item number, so the next order runs from the same corrected file.
- Name the PMS values for anything that has to match a brand standard; screen color is not a reliable reference.

Common uses
Sport and league awardsSport and league awards is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
CompetitionsCompetitions is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
Internal contestsA natural fit for internal contests, which is one of the settings this trophy was specified for.
Renewal and retention giftsTimed to the contract date rather than the calendar, which is when the recipient is actually paying attention.
Fundraising and donor recognitionThanking the people who gave, in a form that quietly encourages the next person to.
Community and civic eventsLocal sponsorships and volunteer thanks, where visible presence matters more than volume.
Service anniversariesFive, ten and twenty years. The object marks the span in a way a announcement never manages.
Event and conference giftingHanded to qualified conversations rather than to everyone, so the spend goes where the pipeline is.
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
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. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. Personalise it. At this tier a name is what makes it land.
2
Sports Leagues, Tournaments & Clubs
Sport needs volume, deadlines and a clear hierarchy of awards. Awards are read as a hierarchy whether or not you intended one. If the participation piece and the champion piece look similar, the champion feels short-changed, and that is remembered longer than the result. Trophies photograph well, that matters when the award is going to be posted before it is shelved. Too good to scatter. Pick the recipients deliberately.
3
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. Decoration is applied to an engraving plate or a printed plate fitted to the base, not to the sculpt itself. Volume takes it to $21.08, which widens the list without cheapening it.
4
Employee Recognition & Service Awards
Recognition fails when the object does not match the words. If you are marking five or ten years of someone's working life, the piece has to carry weight. Literally and otherwise. Personalization with the individual's name is what converts a company gift into a personal keepsake, and it is the single highest-leverage decision in a recognition program. The trophy 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.

What do buyers ask about JDS15?
What does it actually cost at quantity?
Most orders land near 48-95, which prices at $27.20 a piece. The published ladder on JDS15 runs from $34.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $21.08 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. Engraving is a separate line, shown per quantity in the cost table on this page, so the all-in figure is visible before checkout.
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows 193 of JDS15 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.
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 JDS15 runs from $34.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $21.08 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. Once approved, the proof becomes the specification for the run, so check the spelling and the placement carefully. The personalization area on JDS15 is 1.2 in x 4.75 in.
How is this decorated?
We run laser engraving (plate) on JDS15 as standard. 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 JDS15 is 1.2 in x 4.75 in. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing.
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 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.
What is the minimum order for JDS15?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on JDS15. 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 JDS15 runs from $34.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $21.08 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
