What is the Metal/Wood Business Card Case?
A wood business card holder, catalogued here as GFT130. The substrate was picked for decoration quality first and appearance second, which is the right order. It measures 3 3/4"(L) x 2 1/2"(H) x 1/2" thick.
Wood carries a warmth that metal and acrylic do not, and that is why it keeps showing up on service awards and retirement pieces where the message is personal rather than corporate. That is the difference between something kept and something replaced.
It is used at the exact moment of introduction. Laser engraving burns directly into the grain for a permanent mark. Expect slight tonal variation between pieces. The two together are why this item re-orders.
This is where perceived value and order size stop fighting each other. You can buy enough to matter and still hand over something nobody quietly throws away. Concretely: $17.75 each at 1-11, $11.01 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 2.25 in x 1 in.
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.
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.
Artwork requirements
- Name the PMS values for anything that has to match a brand standard; screen color is not a reliable reference.
- Raster artwork should be at least 300 dpi at the finished imprint size, on a transparent or white background.
- If brand color accuracy matters, give us the Pantone numbers rather than a screenshot to match.
- A digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.
- Supply Pantone (PMS) references for any color that has to match exactly.

Common uses
Executive giftingWorks well for executive gifting, where the business card holder format does what a printed handout cannot.
Conference kitsBuilt for conference kits. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Sales team equippingSales team equipping is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
Employee milestonesAnniversaries, promotions and retirements: the moments where a personalized object does what an email cannot.
Safety and quality milestonesMarking a record that took every person on the floor to achieve, with something they can point at.
Remote team welcome kitsShipped to a home address, which for a distributed team is the only physical touch the company gets.
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. Understated materials, restrained decoration and genuine quality all read as competence. Anything that looks cheap actively undermines the positioning, so this segment skews toward crystal, leather and solid desk pieces. At $11.01 in volume the cost per kept item is hard to beat.
2
Trade Shows & Conferences
Booth traffic is not the metric: what leaves the hall and stays in use is. Weight and packability decide what actually leaves the hall. Anything bulky ends up in a hotel bin regardless of quality, so the constraint is what fits in a carry-on alongside everything else collected that day. Wood carries a warmth that metal and acrylic do not, and that is why it keeps showing up on service awards and retirement pieces where the message is personal rather than corporate.. Roughly 38% comes off between one piece and a full run.
3
Corporate Gifting & Client Appreciation
Client gifting has one job: to be kept. The recipient is rarely the decision maker you are trying to reach, which is the part most programs get wrong. Choose something that will sit in a shared space rather than a drawer, and the gift starts working on people who were never on your list. At $17.75 before breaks this is the tier most programmes should live in.
4
Onboarding & New Hire Kits
Day one sets the tone for everything after it. A welcome kit waiting on a desk, or arriving at a home address before a remote start, is the cheapest culture signal an employer can buy. Items that get used daily do the most work here, because they keep signalling belonging long after week one. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. Good enough to be kept, affordable enough to order in real quantity.

What do buyers ask about GFT130?
What does it actually cost at quantity?
Most orders land near 48-95, which prices at $14.20 a piece. The published ladder on GFT130 runs from $17.75 a piece at 1-11 down to $11.01 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 artwork do you need from me?
Send vector if it exists, raster at 300 dpi if it does not, and whatever you have if neither. The personalization area on GFT130 is 2.25 in x 1 in, and we redraw or re-proportion anything that will not survive it. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing.
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on GFT130 is 2.25 in x 1 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.
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows 698 of GFT130 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 GFT130 runs from $17.75 a piece at 1-11 down to $11.01 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
How should this be cared for?
Dust with a dry cloth. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight. GFT130 measures 3 3/4"(L) x 2 1/2"(H) x 1/2" thick and is made of wood. Wood carries a warmth that metal and acrylic do not, and that is why it keeps showing up on service awards and retirement pieces where the message is personal rather than corporate.
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 is the minimum order for GFT130?
GFT130 can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on GFT130 runs from $17.75 a piece at 1-11 down to $11.01 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on GFT130 is 2.25 in x 1 in.
