What is the Silver Metal Cup 2" Insert Holder, 15 1/4"?
Silver Metal Cup 2" Insert Holder, 15 1/4" (EC404S): a trophy cup where Die-cast zinc alloy with a plated finish does most of the work. It measures 15 1/4". This is the silver colorway.
In practice: 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 level the piece is doing relationship work, not advertising work. Reserve it for named recipients, key clients, top performers, long-service milestones, and personalize it individually. Concretely: $64.00 each at 1-11, $39.68 at 500+.

Artwork requirements
- Convert all type to outlines so fonts do not substitute in production.
- Outline your fonts before sending. It removes the most common cause of a proof coming back wrong.
- If the logo is only available as a bitmap, we need it at 300 dpi or better at final size, ideally on a transparent background.
- 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.
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 awardsA natural fit for annual perpetual awards, which is one of the settings this trophy cup was specified for.
Employee milestonesAnniversaries, promotions and retirements: the moments where a personalized object does what an email cannot.
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.
Booth and trade show handoutsThe item that gives someone a reason to stop walking, and a reason to remember which booth it came from.
Community and civic eventsLocal sponsorships and volunteer thanks, where visible presence matters more than volume.
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
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. Spend it where the relationship is worth more than the invoice.
2
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. At $64.00 before breaks this is relationship work, not advertising.
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. 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. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. Reserve it for named recipients: key clients, top performers, long service.
4
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. A cup is the most recognizable award form there is. It needs no explanation in a photograph. This is a shortlist item. Individual personalisation is expected at this level.

What do buyers ask about EC404S?
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 EC404S runs from $64.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $39.68 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
Is there a setup charge?
No. Setup is free on every order at every quantity. Art preparation, machine setup and your digital proof are built into the price, with nothing added for them later. Engraving is a separate line, shown per quantity in the cost table on this page, so the all-in figure is visible before checkout.
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.
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 EC404S is 3.75 in x 5 in.
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.
What artwork do you need from me?
Send vector if it exists, raster at 300 dpi if it does not, and whatever you have if neither. The personalization area on EC404S is 3.75 in x 5 in, and we redraw or re-proportion anything that will not survive it. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing.
How long does production take?
Door to door at standard speed: a day for the proof, 3 to 5 business days in production, then 1 to 5 business days in transit. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.
What is the minimum order for EC404S?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on EC404S. 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 EC404S runs from $64.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $39.68 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
