What is the Premium Series Clear Crystal Award wth Cobalt Blue Crystal Base, 8 3/4"?
Premium Series Clear Crystal Award wth Cobalt Blue Crystal Base, 8 3/4". A crystal award in crystal, specified for decoration and for daily use rather than for a display shelf. It measures 8 3/4". This is the clear colorway, one of 2 in the range.
Worth knowing before you order: 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.
Sand carving produces the deepest, most tactile mark. Laser engraving is faster and better suited to fine text and small logos. Crystal is the accepted visual shorthand for "this one mattered", and that is why it remains the default for flagship recognition.
Flagship recognition. The cost only makes sense against a milestone big enough that people will remember where they were standing. Concretely: $168.00 each at 1-11, $104.16 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 2.4 in x 3.94 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
- Convert all type to outlines so fonts do not substitute in production.
- Name the PMS values for anything that has to match a brand standard; screen color is not a reliable reference.
- A digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.
- If brand color accuracy matters, give us the Pantone numbers rather than a screenshot to match.
- Send the file you have, even if it is imperfect. We will tell you honestly whether it will hold up and redraw it if it will not.
Production schedule
| Artwork proof | 1 business day from receipt of usable art |
|---|---|
| Standard production | 3 to 5 business days after proof approval |
| Rush production | quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay |
| Ground transit | 1 to 5 business days depending on destination |
Common uses
Executive recognitionWorks well for executive recognition, where the crystal award format does what a printed handout cannot.
Top performer awardsTop performer awards is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
Partner and board recognitionSpecified regularly for partner and board recognition. The imprint area at 2.4 in x 3.94 in is sized for exactly that job.
Event and conference giftingHanded to qualified conversations rather than to everyone, so the spend goes where the pipeline is.
Client thank-you programsSent after a renewal, a referral or a project close, when the relationship is warm and the gesture will land.
Executive and board giftingShort lists, individual personalization, and a piece that survives scrutiny.
Remote team welcome kitsShipped to a home address, which for a distributed team is the only physical touch the company gets.
Sponsorship and partner thanksGiven to the people who funded or enabled the work, in a form they can keep visible.
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. Compliance shapes the purchase more than taste does. Many institutions cap the value of a client gift and require it to be logged, which pushes this segment toward pieces that read as considered rather than expensive. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. This is the one people stand next to in the photograph.
2
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. An imprint area of 2.4 in x 3.94 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. Reserved for a milestone big enough to justify the line item on its own.
3
Government, Military & First Responders
This segment is precise about protocol and unforgiving about quality. Challenge coins, unit recognition, retirement and commendation pieces all carry established conventions. Sourcing compliance and documented lead times usually matter as much as the item itself. At $168.00 before breaks this is a once-a-year piece.
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. Donors read the gift as a statement about stewardship. Something visibly expensive can cost you more in confidence than it earns in goodwill, which is why restraint and a personal inscription usually outperform scale in this sector. Flagship recognition. One or two of these, not a programme.
5
Technology, SaaS & Startups
Distributed teams have no office to carry the culture, so the objects have to. Company swag competes with genuinely good consumer products for the same desk space, and it usually loses. The piece has to be something the recipient would plausibly have bought, or it becomes a donation to a charity shop. 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.
6
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. Crystal is the accepted visual shorthand for "this one mattered", and that is why it remains the default for flagship recognition. $168.00 before breaks: reserved for the moment that warrants it.

What do buyers ask about K9052?
Can you work to a fixed in-hand date?
Yes. Give us the in-hand date and checkout tells you immediately whether standard production makes it. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.
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?
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.
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 2.4 in x 3.94 in personalization area and tell you before you pay whether it holds up at that size.
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.
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows 257 of K9052 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?
Sand Carving is the primary method on K9052. 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. We can also run Laser Engraving and Color Fill on this item if the artwork calls for it. The personalization area on K9052 is 2.4 in x 3.94 in.
What is the minimum order for K9052?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on K9052. 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 K9052 runs from $168.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $104.16 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

- Ground freight is free from 12 pieces, which is where this order passes $250.00 of merchandise.
- The personalization area is 2.4 in by 3.94 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 29% of the 610 other priced items in Crystal & Glass. 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.
