We promise the late end, because a date is worth nothing if we miss it.

What is the Medium Solid Black Border Clear Plaque?
This replacement lid is made from cast acrylic with flame-polished edges. It measures 8" x 10". This is the black colorway, one of 2 in the range.
Acrylic is roughly half the weight of glass and dramatically harder to break, which matters more than people expect. It survives shipping to a remote office, it survives a trade show crate, and it survives being knocked off a desk. That is the difference between something kept and something replaced.
Acrylic takes full-color UV printing beautifully, so unlike crystal it can reproduce a logo in exact brand colors rather than as a frosted silhouette. Laser engraving gives the frosted look when that is preferred. Stocking replacement lids keeps an existing drinkware program alive instead of forcing a re-buy.
The piece stays on a desk for years, which is the whole return. Choose recipients the way you would choose who to take to dinner. Concretely: $105.00 each at 1-11, $65.10 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 6.5 in x 8.5 in.
UV Printing
UV-cured ink is jetted directly onto the product and cured instantly under ultraviolet light. Full-color, photographic-quality artwork with hard edges and no dot gain.
Best for
Multi-color logos, gradients, photographs and exact brand-color matching.
Color
Full color, including white ink on dark substrates.
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.
Laser Cutting
The laser cuts entirely through the sheet to a custom outline. A shape cut to your logo or silhouette rather than a stock outline.
Best for
Acrylic awards and signage that should not look off-the-shelf.
Color
Material color.
Artwork requirements
- 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.
- Vector files are the safe option. They hold their edges whether the mark runs at an inch or a foot.
- Vector artwork (.ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg) reproduces best at every size and is what we ask for first.
- 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.
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
Program replenishmentSpecified regularly for program replenishment. The imprint area at 6.5 in x 8.5 in is sized for exactly that job.
Drinkware add-onSpecified regularly for drinkware add-on. The imprint area at 6.5 in x 8.5 in is sized for exactly that job.
Renewal and retention giftsTimed to the contract date rather than the calendar, which is when the recipient is actually paying attention.
Safety and quality milestonesMarking a record that took every person on the floor to achieve, with something they can point at.
Recruiting and onboardingIncluded in offer packs and first-day kits, where the object is doing culture work from the very first hour.
Booth and trade show handoutsThe item that gives someone a reason to stop walking, and a reason to remember which booth it came from.
Fundraising and donor recognitionThanking the people who gave, in a form that quietly encourages the next person to.
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. Guests keep what they can use and discard what merely commemorates. An item that works on an ordinary Tuesday will outlive the event by years; one that only makes sense on the day will not survive the drive home. The replacement lid format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. This is a shortlist item. Individual personalisation is expected at this level.
2
Hospitality, Restaurants & Breweries
In hospitality the promotional item and the retail item are the same object. Branded glassware and drinkware serve guests, then sell to guests at the end of the visit. That dual use changes the maths entirely. The decoration cost is recovered at the till rather than written off to marketing. $105.00 before breaks buys something that stays on a desk for years.
3
Corporate Gifting & Client Appreciation
Client gifting has one job: to be kept. Timing beats budget in this segment. The same gift sent a week after a renewal lands completely differently from one sent in December with four hundred others, because in January it is the only thing on the desk. Buy for the calendar you control rather than the one everybody shares. Acrylic is roughly half the weight of glass and dramatically harder to break, which matters more than people expect. Give this to the handful of people who genuinely moved the number.

What do buyers ask about BDR8SBK?
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 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 does it actually cost at quantity?
The published ladder on BDR8SBK runs from $105.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $65.10 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.
What artwork do you need from me?
Vector artwork is ideal (.ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg) with all type converted to outlines. High-resolution raster at 300 dpi or better also works, and a logo saved from a website is worth sending anyway. We check it against the 6.5 in x 8.5 in personalization area and tell you before you pay whether it holds up at that size.
Can I mix colors or sizes to reach a quantity break?
Yes. BDR8SBK runs in 2 colors and they combine for pricing, as long as the artwork does not change between them. 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+.
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.
How is this decorated?
UV Printing is the primary method on BDR8SBK. UV-cured ink is jetted directly onto the product and cured instantly under ultraviolet light. Full-color, photographic-quality artwork with hard edges and no dot gain. We can also run Laser Engraving and Laser Cutting on this item if the artwork calls for it. The personalization area on BDR8SBK is 6.5 in x 8.5 in.
What is the minimum order for BDR8SBK?
BDR8SBK can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on BDR8SBK runs from $105.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $65.10 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on BDR8SBK is 6.5 in x 8.5 in.

- Ground freight is free from 12 pieces, which is where this order passes $250.00 of merchandise.
- The personalization area is 6.5 in by 8.5 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 9% of the 215 other priced items in Drinkware Accessories. It sits at the dearer end of that range, which is usually the material rather than the margin.
- Setup is free at every quantity, including 1.
