What is the Premium Series Sapphire Glass Award with Rosewood and Aluminum Base, 4 1/4" x 8 1/8"?
Premium Series Sapphire Glass Award with Rosewood and Aluminum Base, 4 1/4" x 8 1/8". A plaque in glass, specified for decoration and for daily use rather than for a display shelf. It measures 4 1/4" x 8 1/8".
Glass gives you most of the visual authority of crystal at a materially lower cost, which is what makes it the practical choice when you are recognizing a whole team rather than one person.
Wall-mounted recognition stays visible to everyone who walks past, not just the recipient. On this substrate specifically: deep etch sand carving frosts the surface for a bright white mark that photographs well. Laser engraving handles finer detail.
At this price the item is a statement about the recipient. Personalize every one, and keep the list to people you could name from memory. Concretely: $81.00 each at 1-11, $50.22 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 in x 2 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.
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
- Raster artwork should be at least 300 dpi at the finished imprint size, on a transparent or white background.
- Vector artwork (.ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg) reproduces best at every size and is what we ask for first.
- Send vector if you have it. A .ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg scales to any imprint without softening.
- Vector files are the safe option. They hold their edges whether the mark runs at an inch or a foot.
- Convert all type to outlines so fonts do not substitute in production.
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
Service awardsSpecified regularly for service awards. The imprint area at 2 in x 2 in is sized for exactly that job.
Donor recognitionWorks well for donor recognition, where the plaque format does what a printed handout cannot.
Sponsor and partner recognitionSpecified regularly for sponsor and partner recognition. The imprint area at 2 in x 2 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.
Remote team welcome kitsShipped to a home address, which for a distributed team is the only physical touch the company gets.
Recruiting and onboardingIncluded in offer packs and first-day kits, where the object is doing culture work from the very first hour.
Renewal and retention giftsTimed to the contract date rather than the calendar, which is when the recipient is actually paying attention.
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
Faith & Community Organizations
Faith communities give to mark moments rather than to advertise. These pieces are given once and kept for a lifetime, so the failure mode is not looking cheap but dating badly. Restrained typography and no year-specific styling means the piece still reads well in twenty years. Wall-mounted recognition stays visible to everyone who walks past, not just the recipient. $81.00 before breaks buys something that stays on a desk for years.
2
Sports Leagues, Tournaments & Clubs
Sport needs volume, deadlines and a clear hierarchy of awards. The order arrives before the results do, which means engraving strategy is the real decision. Generic plates with a separate engraved insert let you produce early and personalize late, and that is usually the difference between hitting the date and missing it. Deep etch sand carving frosts the surface for a bright white mark that photographs well. Laser engraving handles finer detail. Give this to the handful of people who genuinely moved the number.
3
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. The plaque format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. At this price the recipient list should fit on one page.
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. Executive tier. Treat the engraving as carefully as the invoice.
5
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. Glass gives you most of the visual authority of crystal at a materially lower cost, which is what makes it the practical choice when you are recognizing a whole team rather than one person.. Even at volume it holds $50.22, which tells you what tier this is.
6
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. Spend it where the relationship is worth more than the invoice.

What do buyers ask about G2987?
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.
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 G2987 runs from $81.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $50.22 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
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.
How should this be cared for?
Hand wash recommended. Avoid thermal shock. G2987 measures 4 1/4" x 8 1/8" and is made of glass. Glass gives you most of the visual authority of crystal at a materially lower cost, which is what makes it the practical choice when you are recognizing a whole team rather than one person.
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 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 in x 2 in personalization area and tell you before you pay whether it holds up at that size.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. G2987 sells from a single unit at $81.00, 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.
What is the minimum order for G2987?
G2987 can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on G2987 runs from $81.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $50.22 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on G2987 is 2 in x 2 in.

- Ground freight is free from 12 pieces, which is where this order passes $250.00 of merchandise.
- The personalization area is 2 in by 2 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 30% of the 3,730 other priced items in Awards & Recognition. 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.
