What is the Silver Metal Cup 2" Insert Holder, 11"?
The Silver Metal Cup 2" Insert Holder, 11" is what most buyers mean when they ask for a trophy cup that will not look cheap in six months. It measures 11". This is the silver colorway.
Worth knowing before you order: die casting captures far finer relief detail than stamping, so medals and heavier emblem pieces are cast rather than pressed. Plating then sets the finish. Gold, silver or bronze.
A cup is the most recognizable award form there is. It needs no explanation in a photograph. Artwork is struck into the die, or applied as a printed or sublimated insert set into the recess.
At this price you are buying a reaction rather than an impression. That only works if the list is short enough for the gesture to feel deliberate. Concretely: $38.75 each at 1-11, $24.03 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 2.36 in x 5 in.

Best for

Medals with a standard front and individual backs.
Color
Substrate color.
Artwork requirements
- Supply Pantone (PMS) references for any color that has to match exactly.
- Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.
- A 300 dpi raster at the actual imprint dimensions will run cleanly. Anything pulled from a web page usually will not.
- We send a digital proof for written approval before production starts. Nothing goes on a machine until you sign it off.
- 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.
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
Championships and tournamentsBuilt for championships and tournaments. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Annual perpetual awardsSpecified regularly for annual perpetual awards. The imprint area at 2.36 in x 5 in is sized for exactly that job.
Internal contests and incentivesA tangible prize outperforms a gift card for exactly the reason you would expect. It stays on the desk.
Safety and quality milestonesMarking a record that took every person on the floor to achieve, with something they can point at.
Booth and trade show handoutsThe item that gives someone a reason to stop walking, and a reason to remember which booth it came from.
Customer loyalty tiersA physical marker of status that an account dashboard cannot replicate.
Employee milestonesAnniversaries, promotions and retirements: the moments where a personalized object does what an email cannot.
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
Weddings, Reunions & Milestone Events
Personal events are the one segment where the recipient genuinely wants the item personalized. Names, dates and short inscriptions turn an ordinary object into something kept for decades. Quantities are modest and lead times are unforgiving, which makes production scheduling the thing to get right. An imprint area of 2.36 in x 5 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. This reads as a gift. Give it to people you chose, not people who walked past.
2
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. Worth personalising individually at this price; the response rate justifies it.
3
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. $38.75 before breaks puts this above hand-out territory. Use it that way.
4
Education, Schools & Universities
Education buys in waves: orientation, homecoming, graduation, staff appreciation. Budgets are tight and quantities are large, which pushes toward mid-tier items ordered in volume. Alumni and donor gifting is the exception: that is where the spend per unit rises sharply, because the return is measured in gifts rather than impressions. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. Reserve this for the shortlist and the response changes noticeably.
How does ordering and turnaround work?
| Minimum order | 1 piece |
|---|---|
| Setup | Free on every order, at any quantity |
| Freight | Free ground freight on every order over $250; split shipping to individual addresses available |
| Rush service | Rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before payment |
| Proofing | Digital proof within 1 business day; production begins on written approval |
| Re-orders | Re-orders run from the file you already approved |
| Shipping | Free ground freight on every order over $250; split shipping to individual addresses available |
What do buyers ask about EC401S?
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on EC401S is 2.36 in x 5 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.
Can I order more later and have them match?
Re-orders reproduce rather than reinterpret. We keep the approved artwork on file against the item number, so a re-order runs from the same file. On natural materials the base itself can shift a little between batches, so tell us if an exact match matters. 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 die struck on EC401S as standard. Crisp raised and recessed relief in solid metal. We can also run Printed Insert and Laser Engraving (back) on this item if the artwork calls for it. The personalization area on EC401S is 2.36 in x 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.
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 2.36 in x 5 in personalization area and tell you before you pay whether it holds up at that size.
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.
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows 130 of EC401S 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 see a proof before you produce the order?
Always, and we do not start without written approval. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing. Once approved, the proof becomes the specification for the run, so check the spelling and the placement carefully. The personalization area on EC401S is 2.36 in x 5 in.
What is the minimum order for EC401S?
EC401S can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on EC401S runs from $38.75 a piece at 1-11 down to $24.03 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on EC401S is 2.36 in x 5 in.
