What is the Small Blue Apex Mirage Acrylic?

This is a acrylic award in acrylic. Straightforward to decorate, and durable enough that the decoration outlasts the occasion. It measures 3 1/2" x 5". This is the blue colorway.

Acrylic is roughly half the weight of glass and dramatically harder to break, which matters more than people expect. It survives shipping to a remote office, it survives a trade show crate, and it survives being knocked off a desk.

Acrylic is the only award substrate that reproduces a full-color logo cleanly and survives being posted to a home address. Acrylic takes full-color UV printing beautifully, so unlike crystal it can reproduce a logo in exact brand colors rather than as a frosted silhouette. Laser engraving gives the frosted look when that is preferred.

This is relationship spend. Key accounts, long service, the people who genuinely moved a number: the list should be short and every piece should carry a name. Concretely: $60.00 each at 1-11, $37.20 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 2.1 in x 2.25 in.

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.

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.

Laser Cutting

The laser cuts entirely through the sheet to a custom outline. A shape cut to your logo or silhouette rather than a stock outline.

Best for

Acrylic awards and signage that should not look off-the-shelf.

Color

Material color.

Artwork requirements

  • Do not spend a week hunting for the perfect file. Send what exists and we will tell you what is usable.
  • 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.
  • Vector files are the safe option. They hold their edges whether the mark runs at an inch or a foot.
  • Send vector if you have it. A .ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg scales to any imprint without softening.
  • We send a digital proof for written approval before production starts. Nothing goes on a machine until you sign it off.

Common uses

Full-color brand awardsBuilt for full-color brand awards. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Sales recognitionA natural fit for sales recognition, which is one of the settings this acrylic award was specified for.
Remote-team shippingSpecified regularly for remote-team shipping. The imprint area at 2.1 in x 2.25 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.
Executive and board giftingShort lists, individual personalization, and a piece that survives scrutiny.
Employee milestonesAnniversaries, promotions and retirements: the moments where a personalized object does what an email cannot.
Customer loyalty tiersA physical marker of status that an account dashboard cannot replicate.
Client thank-you programsSent after a renewal, a referral or a project close, when the relationship is warm and the gesture will land.

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

Nonprofit & Fundraising

Every pound spent on a donor gift is a pound not spent on the mission, so the gift has to earn it. Volunteer recognition is where the money works hardest. Volunteers give time that would otherwise cost you wages, and the marginal cost of thanking them properly is trivial against what their continued involvement is worth. Even at volume it holds $37.20, which tells you what tier this is.

2

Technology, SaaS & Startups

Distributed teams have no office to carry the culture, so the objects have to. Shipping a considered kit to a home address is now a standard part of remote onboarding, and it is the rare marketing spend that shows up in retention numbers. Ship-safe materials matter more here than in any other segment. Spend it where the relationship is worth more than the invoice.

3

Employee Recognition & Service Awards

Recognition fails when the object does not match the words. The presentation matters as much as the piece. An award handed over in a hallway is worth a fraction of the same award presented in front of the team, which means the object should be specified for the moment it will be photographed in, not the shelf it ends on. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. At $60.00 before breaks this is relationship work, not advertising.

4

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. Acrylic is the only award substrate that reproduces a full-color logo cleanly and survives being posted to a home address. Reserve it for named recipients: key clients, top performers, long service.

5

Franchise & Multi-Location Brands

The hard problem in multi-location branding is consistency, not creativity. A single approved item list, locked artwork and a repeatable re-order path stop forty locations producing forty versions of the logo. Stocked programs with fixed pricing are what make that governable. Acrylic takes full-color UV printing beautifully, so unlike crystal it can reproduce a logo in exact brand colors rather than as a frosted silhouette. Laser engraving gives the frosted look when that is preferred. This is a shortlist item. Individual personalisation is expected at this level.

6

Sports Leagues, Tournaments & Clubs

Sport needs volume, deadlines and a clear hierarchy of awards. Awards are read as a hierarchy whether or not you intended one. If the participation piece and the champion piece look similar, the champion feels short-changed, and that is remembered longer than the result. The acrylic award format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. $60.00 before breaks buys something that stays on a desk for years.

What do buyers ask about MR61BU?

Do you keep this item in stock?

Yes. The warehouse shows 31 of MR61BU 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?

UV Printing is the primary method on MR61BU. 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. We can also run Laser Engraving and Laser Cutting on this item if the artwork calls for it. The personalization area on MR61BU is 2.1 in x 2.25 in.

Can I get a sample before committing?

Yes: order one piece. MR61BU sells from a single unit at $60.00, 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.

Can I mix colors or sizes to reach a quantity break?

Yes, provided the artwork stays the same across the run. Different artwork is fine as well: it gets its own proof, and setup stays free. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. The published ladder on MR61BU runs from $60.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $37.20 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

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 does it actually cost at quantity?

Most orders land near 48-95, which prices at $48.00 a piece. The published ladder on MR61BU runs from $60.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $37.20 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. Engraving is a separate line, shown per quantity in the cost table on this page, so the all-in figure is visible before checkout.

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.

What is the minimum order for MR61BU?

There is no minimum beyond one piece on MR61BU. 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 MR61BU runs from $60.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $37.20 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
