What is the Small Blue Marble Octagon Acrylic?
Item OCT5BM is a acrylic award in acrylic, chosen for how well it takes a mark and how long that mark lasts. It measures 5". This is the blue colorway, one of 2 in the range.
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. The two together are why this item re-orders.
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: $97.00 each at 1-11, $60.14 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 3.3 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
- Type should be converted to curves or outlines, otherwise a missing font silently substitutes on our end.
- Send the file you have, even if it is imperfect. We will tell you honestly whether it will hold up and redraw it if it will not.
- 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.
- Name the PMS values for anything that has to match a brand standard; screen color is not a reliable reference.
- 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.
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
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 recognitionWorks well for sales recognition, where the acrylic award format does what a printed handout cannot.
Remote-team shippingA natural fit for remote-team shipping, which is one of the settings this acrylic award was specified for.
Client thank-you programsSent after a renewal, a referral or a project close, when the relationship is warm and the gesture will land.
Event and conference giftingHanded to qualified conversations rather than to everyone, so the spend goes where the pipeline is.
Safety and quality milestonesMarking a record that took every person on the floor to achieve, with something they can point at.
Sponsorship and partner thanksGiven to the people who funded or enabled the work, in a form they can keep visible.
Renewal and retention giftsTimed to the contract date rather than the calendar, which is when the recipient is actually paying attention.
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. 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. The acrylic award format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. $97.00 before breaks buys something that stays on a desk for years.
2
Franchise & Multi-Location Brands
The hard problem in multi-location branding is consistency, not creativity. Local operators will source their own if the approved path is slower or costlier than the alternative. The way to hold brand consistency is to make the compliant option the easy one, with stocked items and fixed pricing. Give this to the handful of people who genuinely moved the number.
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. Acrylic is roughly half the weight of glass and dramatically harder to break, which matters more than people expect. 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. Recognition pieces for major donors and board members are the clearest win: they are relatively few, they are highly personal, and they materially affect renewal. For event merchandise, price the item to sell rather than to give. Executive tier. Treat the engraving as carefully as the invoice.
5
Technology, SaaS & Startups
Distributed teams have no office to carry the culture, so the objects have to. Shipping is the hidden cost and the hidden failure. An item that arrives damaged or takes three weeks to reach a remote hire does the opposite of what it was bought for, so pack weight and carrier reliability belong in the specification. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. Even at volume it holds $60.14, which tells you what tier this is.
6
Employee Recognition & Service Awards
Recognition fails when the object does not match the words. Consistency is what makes a recognition program credible. If a ten year award looks better this year than it did last year, everyone who got last year's version notices. Lock the specification and the supplier, and treat the item list as something you change deliberately rather than annually. An imprint area of 3.3 in x 2.25 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. Spend it where the relationship is worth more than the invoice.

| Shipping | Free ground freight above $250, and we can split a run across individual addresses |
What do buyers ask about OCT5BM?
How should this be cared for?
Wipe with a soft damp cloth. Avoid ammonia-based glass cleaners, which can craze the surface. OCT5BM measures 5" and is made of acrylic. Acrylic is roughly half the weight of glass and dramatically harder to break, which matters more than people expect.
Is there a setup charge?
There is no setup charge, ever. Art preparation, machine setup and the proof are part of the price on this page. Engraving is a separate line, shown per quantity in the cost table on this page, so the all-in figure is visible before checkout. 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 OCT5BM is 3.3 in x 2.25 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.
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 mix colors or sizes to reach a quantity break?
Yes. OCT5BM runs in 2 colors and they combine for pricing, as long as the artwork does not change between them. 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+.
How is this decorated?
UV Printing is the primary method on OCT5BM. 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 OCT5BM is 3.3 in x 2.25 in.
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.
What is the minimum order for OCT5BM?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on OCT5BM. 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 OCT5BM runs from $97.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $60.14 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

- Ground freight is free from 12 pieces, which is where this order passes $250.00 of merchandise.
- The personalization area is 3.3 in by 2.25 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 36% of the 878 other priced items in Acrylic Awards. 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.
