What is the Medium Black Edge Crystal on Black Base?
Catalogued as CRY034M, this crystal award sits in the part of the range that gets re-ordered rather than tried once. It measures 8". This is the black 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. On this substrate specifically: sand carving produces the deepest, most tactile mark. Laser engraving is faster and better suited to fine text and small logos.
This is a flagship piece. It is bought for the one or two moments a year that genuinely warrant it, and it is expected to be on display for years afterwards. Concretely: $221.00 each at 1-11, $137.02 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 4 in x 4 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.
Best for
Crystal and glass awards where depth and presence matter more than color.
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.
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.
Color Fill
Engraved or carved recesses are filled with pigment. A permanent engraved mark that reads in brand color rather than substrate color.
Best for
Metal and crystal where the logo must be recognisably on-brand.
Color
Matched to Pantone where the recess allows.
Artwork requirements
- Vector files are the safe option. They hold their edges whether the mark runs at an inch or a foot.
- Type should be converted to curves or outlines, otherwise a missing font silently substitutes on our end.
- Raster artwork should be at least 300 dpi at the finished imprint size, on a transparent or white background.
- Send vector if you have it. A .ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg scales to any imprint without softening.
- Name the PMS values for anything that has to match a brand standard; screen color is not a reliable reference.
Production schedule

Common uses
Executive recognitionExecutive recognition is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
Top performer awardsWorks well for top performer awards, where the crystal award format does what a printed handout cannot.
Partner and board recognitionBuilt for partner and board recognition. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Executive and board giftingShort lists, individual personalization, and a piece that survives scrutiny.
Service anniversariesFive, ten and twenty years. The object marks the span in a way a announcement never manages.
Client thank-you programsSent after a renewal, a referral or a project close, when the relationship is warm and the gesture will land.
Booth and trade show handoutsThe item that gives someone a reason to stop walking, and a reason to remember which booth it came from.
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
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. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. This is the award people photograph. Budget it as a single line.
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. Crystal is the accepted visual shorthand for "this one mattered", and that is why it remains the default for flagship recognition. $221.00 before breaks: reserved for the moment that warrants it.
3
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. Sand carving produces the deepest, most tactile mark. Laser engraving is faster and better suited to fine text and small logos. Bought for the one occasion a year that genuinely earns it.
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. The crystal award format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. A centrepiece, not a run. Expect it on display for a decade.
5
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. The piece the room looks at. Price it as an event cost, not merchandise.

What do buyers ask about CRY034M?
Can I see a proof before you produce the order?
Yes, and nothing runs until you have signed it off. Read it properly rather than skimming, because the approved proof is the specification we produce against. 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.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. CRY034M sells from a single unit at $221.00, 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.
How should this be cared for?
Hand wash only with a soft cloth. Never dishwasher. CRY034M measures 8" 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.
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.
What does it actually cost at quantity?
Most orders land near 48-95, which prices at $176.80 a piece. The published ladder on CRY034M runs from $221.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $137.02 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.
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on CRY034M is 4 in x 4 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.
What is the minimum order for CRY034M?
CRY034M can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on CRY034M runs from $221.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $137.02 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on CRY034M is 4 in x 4 in.
