What is the Rectangle Bamboo Cutting Board, 11 1/2" x 8 3/4" x 1/2"?
A bamboo cutting board, catalogued here as GFT173. The substrate was picked for decoration quality first and appearance second, which is the right order. It measures 11 1/2" x 8 3/4" x 1/2".
In practice: bamboo is a grass, not a hardwood, that is why it regrows in a few years rather than a few decades. The practical reason it is the default choice when a program has a sustainability requirement to satisfy.
A board is used in front of guests, which is how a gift becomes a referral conversation. On this substrate specifically: laser engraving burns a rich dark-brown mark into the surface. No ink, no coating, nothing to wear off.
The middle of the range, and the part of it that does the most work. Good enough that people keep it, cheap enough that you can cover an entire department. Concretely: $12.75 each at 1-11, $7.91 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 10 in x 10 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.
Logos, names, dates and fine text. The default choice when the mark has to outlive the campaign.
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.
Multi-color logos, gradients, photographs and exact brand-color matching.
Full color, including white ink on dark substrates.
Artwork requirements
- We send a digital proof for written approval before production starts. Nothing goes on a machine until you sign it off.
- Supply Pantone (PMS) references for any color that has to match exactly.
- A 300 dpi raster at the actual imprint dimensions will run cleanly. Anything pulled from a web page usually will not.
- Outline your fonts before sending. It removes the most common cause of a proof coming back wrong.
- If brand color accuracy matters, give us the Pantone numbers rather than a screenshot to match.

Common uses
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.
Hospitality, Restaurants & Breweries
In hospitality the promotional item and the retail item are the same object. Breakage and theft are line items, not accidents. Popular branded glassware walks out of a venue at a predictable rate, and the sensible response is to price it for retail rather than to fight it. Roughly 38% comes off between one piece and a full run.
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. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. At $12.75 before breaks this is the tier most programmes should live in.
Real Estate & Closing Gifts
A closing gift is a referral instrument, not a thank-you note. The right gift stays in the new home, gets used in front of guests, and prompts the question "where did you get that?". That is the moment your name comes up. Personalizing with the family name rather than the brokerage logo dramatically increases the odds it stays out on display. A board is used in front of guests, which is how a gift becomes a referral conversation. Good enough to be kept, affordable enough to order in real quantity.
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. Laser engraving burns a rich dark-brown mark into the surface. No ink, no coating, nothing to wear off. This is the sweet spot: real perceived value without a procurement conversation.

What do buyers ask about GFT173?
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. GFT173 sells from a single unit at $12.75, 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 happens if something arrives damaged?
Tell us within 10 days of delivery and we replace it. Note any damage on the freight bill before you sign for it, because that is what the carrier claim turns on. Resolving it with the carrier is our job, not yours. The replacement runs from the artwork you already approved, so it matches the rest of the order.
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 GFT173 runs from $12.75 a piece at 1-11 down to $7.91 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 and dry immediately. Oil occasionally if used for food service. GFT173 measures 11 1/2" x 8 3/4" x 1/2" and is made of bamboo. Bamboo is a grass, not a hardwood, that is why it regrows in a few years rather than a few decades.
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 10 in x 10 in personalization area and tell you before you pay whether it holds up at that size.
How is this decorated?
Laser Engraving is the primary method on GFT173. A focused laser removes the surface layer to expose the substrate beneath. 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 GFT173 is 10 in x 10 in.
What is the minimum order for GFT173?
GFT173 can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on GFT173 runs from $12.75 a piece at 1-11 down to $7.91 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on GFT173 is 10 in x 10 in.

- 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.
