What is the Star Performer Sun Ray Award-8"?
This is a award in resin. Straightforward to decorate, and durable enough that the decoration outlasts the occasion. It measures 8".
Casting is what allows shapes, figures, sport-specific sculpts, dimensional forms, that simply cannot be cut from crystal or metal at a comparable price. It is the reason resin dominates youth sport and participation awards. That is the difference between something kept and something replaced.
A physical award outlasts every digital form of recognition an organization can hand out. On this substrate specifically: decoration is applied to an engraving plate or a printed plate fitted to the base, not to the sculpt itself.
Gift tier. The economics stop being about impressions and start being about the specific relationships you spend it on. Concretely: $21.00 each at 1-11, $13.02 at 500+.

Artwork requirements
- A digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.
- Raster artwork should be at least 300 dpi at the finished imprint size, on a transparent or white background.
- 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.
- Outline your fonts before sending. It removes the most common cause of a proof coming back wrong.
- Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.
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
Recognition programsBuilt for recognition programs. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Annual awardsA natural fit for annual awards, which is one of the settings this award was specified for.
Milestone markingSpecified regularly for milestone marking. The imprint area at 2.03 in x 3.6 in is sized for exactly that job.
Event and conference giftingHanded to qualified conversations rather than to everyone, so the spend goes where the pipeline is.
Booth and trade show handoutsThe item that gives someone a reason to stop walking, and a reason to remember which booth it came from.
Service anniversariesFive, ten and twenty years. The object marks the span in a way a announcement never manages.
Safety and quality milestonesMarking a record that took every person on the floor to achieve, with something they can point at.
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. 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. At $21.00 before breaks, name the recipients rather than filling a table.
2
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. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. This reads as a gift. Give it to people you chose, not people who walked past.
3
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 2.03 in x 3.6 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. Worth personalising individually at this price; the response rate justifies it.
4
Corporate Gifting & Client Appreciation
Client gifting has one job: to be kept. A gift that lands on a client desk and stays there keeps working long after the meeting that prompted it. That argues for fewer, better pieces rather than a large volume of disposables, and for decoration that will still look intentional in two years. $21.00 before breaks puts this above hand-out territory. Use it that way.
5
Education, Schools & Universities
Education buys in waves: orientation, homecoming, graduation, staff appreciation. Departments buy separately even when the brand is shared, which is how a university ends up with nine versions of its own crest. A single approved item list with locked artwork solves more than any individual purchasing decision will. Reserve this for the shortlist and the response changes noticeably.

What do buyers ask about SR214?
How is this decorated?
We run laser engraving (plate) on SR214 as standard. A permanent engraved plate on a cast body. We can also run UV Printing (plate) and Sublimated Plate on this item if the artwork calls for it. The personalization area on SR214 is 2.03 in x 3.6 in. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing.
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.
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows 180 of SR214 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.
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 SR214 is 2.03 in x 3.6 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.
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.
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 SR214 runs from $21.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $13.02 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. SR214 sells from a single unit at $21.00, 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.
What is the minimum order for SR214?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on SR214. 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 SR214 runs from $21.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $13.02 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

| 12 | $19.32 | $7.00 | $26.32 | $315.84 | Free |
| 24 | $18.06 | $5.75 | $23.81 | $571.44 | Free |

- Ground freight is free from 12 pieces, which is where this order passes $250.00 of merchandise.
- The personalization area is 2.03 in by 3.6 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 58% of the 3,730 other priced items in Awards & Recognition.
- The table starts at 12 because below that the engraving setup costs more than the goods, and we will not guess at a price there. Ask us and we will quote a smaller run from your artwork.
- Setup is free at every quantity, including 12.
