What is the Small Wave Designer Glass Award?
Item DGS11 is a glass award in glass, chosen for how well it takes a mark and how long that mark lasts. It measures 7 1/4".
Glass gives you most of the visual authority of crystal at a materially lower cost, which is what makes it the practical choice when you are recognizing a whole team rather than one person. That is the difference between something kept and something replaced.
Glass delivers most of the presence of crystal at a price that lets you recognize a whole team. On this substrate specifically: deep etch sand carving frosts the surface for a bright white mark that photographs well. Laser engraving handles finer detail.
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: $46.25 each at 1-11, $28.68 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 in x 5.75 in.
Sand Carving
Abrasive is blasted through a cut mask to cut into the surface of the glass or crystal. A deep, frosted, dimensional mark you can feel with a fingertip.
Best for
Crystal and glass awards where depth and presence matter more than color.
Color
Frosted white, optionally color-filled.
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.
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.
Artwork requirements
- Supply Pantone (PMS) references for any color that has to match exactly.
- Send vector if you have it. A .ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg scales to any imprint without softening.
- 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.
- Type should be converted to curves or outlines, otherwise a missing font silently substitutes on our end.
- Vector files are the safe option. They hold their edges whether the mark runs at an inch or a foot.
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
Team recognitionBuilt for team recognition. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Annual awards programsWorks well for annual awards programs, where the glass award format does what a printed handout cannot.
Donor thanksWorks well for donor thanks, where the glass award format does what a printed handout cannot.
Service anniversariesFive, ten and twenty years. The object marks the span in a way a announcement never manages.
Team and department awardsRecognizing a group without the cost or ceremony of individual crystal for every person.
Client thank-you programsSent after a renewal, a referral or a project close, when the relationship is warm and the gesture will land.
Executive and board giftingShort lists, individual personalization, and a piece that survives scrutiny.
Internal contests and incentivesA tangible prize outperforms a gift card for exactly the reason you would expect. It stays on the desk.
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. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. Spend it where the relationship is worth more than the invoice.
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. 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. Glass delivers most of the presence of crystal at a price that lets you recognize a whole team. At $46.25 before breaks this is relationship work, not advertising.
3
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. Deep etch sand carving frosts the surface for a bright white mark that photographs well. Laser engraving handles finer detail. 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. The glass award format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. This is a shortlist item. Individual personalisation is expected at this level.
5
Employee Recognition & Service Awards
Recognition fails when the object does not match the words. If you are marking five or ten years of someone's working life, the piece has to carry weight. Literally and otherwise. Personalization with the individual's name is what converts a company gift into a personal keepsake, and it is the single highest-leverage decision in a recognition program. $46.25 before breaks buys something that stays on a desk for years.

What do buyers ask about DGS11?
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows 383 of DGS11 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.
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.
How long does production take?
Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit. The clock starts when you approve the proof, not when you place the order. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.
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 DGS11 runs from $46.25 a piece at 1-11 down to $28.68 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 recommended. Avoid thermal shock. DGS11 measures 7 1/4" and is made of glass. Glass gives you most of the visual authority of crystal at a materially lower cost, which is what makes it the practical choice when you are recognizing a whole team rather than one person.
How is this decorated?
Sand Carving is the primary method on DGS11. Abrasive is blasted through a cut mask to cut into the surface of the glass or crystal. A deep, frosted, dimensional mark you can feel with a fingertip. We can also run Laser Engraving and UV Printing on this item if the artwork calls for it. The personalization area on DGS11 is 3 in x 5.75 in.
What is the minimum order for DGS11?
DGS11 can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on DGS11 runs from $46.25 a piece at 1-11 down to $28.68 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on DGS11 is 3 in x 5.75 in.
