What is the Music Shield Award-7"?
Catalogued as SA706, this award sits in the part of the range that gets re-ordered rather than tried once. It measures 7".
Built to survive real use rather than a single event, that is what separates a promotional item that keeps working from one that ends up in a drawer. That is the difference between something kept and something replaced.
A physical award outlasts every digital form of recognition an organization can hand out. Decoration method is matched to the substrate so the mark is permanent rather than printed on top.
This is the tier where an item stops being a giveaway and starts being a gift. Order it for people you have named rather than for a table, and the response rate changes accordingly. Concretely: $20.75 each at 1-11, $12.87 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 2.1 in x 3.5 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
- Do not spend a week hunting for the perfect file. Send what exists and we will tell you what is usable.
- Raster artwork should be at least 300 dpi at the finished imprint size, on a transparent or white background.
- A 300 dpi raster at the actual imprint dimensions will run cleanly. Anything pulled from a web page usually will not.
- Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.
- Outline your fonts before sending. It removes the most common cause of a proof coming back wrong.
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
Recognition programsA natural fit for recognition programs, which is one of the settings this award was specified for.
Annual awardsWorks well for annual awards, where the award format does what a printed handout cannot.
Milestone markingA natural fit for milestone marking, which is one of the settings this award was specified for.
Booth and trade show handoutsThe item that gives someone a reason to stop walking, and a reason to remember which booth it came from.
Recruiting and onboardingIncluded in offer packs and first-day kits, where the object is doing culture work from the very first hour.
Customer loyalty tiersA physical marker of status that an account dashboard cannot replicate.
Safety and quality milestonesMarking a record that took every person on the floor to achieve, with something they can point at.
Executive and board giftingShort lists, individual personalization, and a piece that survives scrutiny.
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
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. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. Worth personalising individually at this price; the response rate justifies it.
2
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. An imprint area of 2.1 in x 3.5 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. $20.75 before breaks puts this above hand-out territory. Use it that way.
3
Nonprofit & Fundraising
Every pound spent on a donor gift is a pound not spent on the mission, so the gift has to earn it. Recognition pieces for major donors and board members are the clearest win: they are relatively few, they are highly personal, and they materially affect renewal. For event merchandise, price the item to sell rather than to give. Reserve this for the shortlist and the response changes noticeably.
4
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. Personalise it. At this tier a name is what makes it land.
5
Employee Recognition & Service Awards
Recognition fails when the object does not match the words. Consistency is what makes a recognition program credible. If a ten year award looks better this year than it did last year, everyone who got last year's version notices. Lock the specification and the supplier, and treat the item list as something you change deliberately rather than annually. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. Too good to scatter. Pick the recipients deliberately.

What do buyers ask about SA706?
How long does production take?
Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit. The clock starts when you approve the proof, not when you place the order. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. SA706 sells from a single unit at $20.75, 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.
What does it actually cost at quantity?
Most orders land near 48-95, which prices at $16.60 a piece. The published ladder on SA706 runs from $20.75 a piece at 1-11 down to $12.87 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.
Can I order more later and have them match?
Yes. We keep the approved artwork on file against the item number, so a re-order runs from the same file. Material batches can vary slightly on natural materials, which is worth knowing if color matching across orders is critical. The published ladder on SA706 runs from $20.75 a piece at 1-11 down to $12.87 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows 41 of SA706 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.
How is this decorated?
We run laser engraving on SA706 as standard. A permanent, high-contrast, single-color mark with no ink involved. We can also run UV Printing on this item if the artwork calls for it. The personalization area on SA706 is 2.1 in x 3.5 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 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 SA706 runs from $20.75 a piece at 1-11 down to $12.87 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
What is the minimum order for SA706?
SA706 can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on SA706 runs from $20.75 a piece at 1-11 down to $12.87 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on SA706 is 2.1 in x 3.5 in.

- Ground freight is free from 12 pieces, which is where this order passes $250.00 of merchandise.
- The personalization area is 2.1 in by 3.5 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 59% of the 3,730 other priced items in Awards & Recognition.
- The table starts at 12 because below that the engraving setup costs more than the goods, and we will not guess at a price there. Ask us and we will quote a smaller run from your artwork.
- Setup is free at every quantity, including 12.
