What is the Zenith Series Black Silk Screened Glass with Brushed Aluminum Post, 6 1/8" x 8 3/4"?
This plaque is made from annealed glass with polished edges and a clear, even body. It measures 6 1/8" x 8 3/4". This is the black colorway.
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.
Deep etch sand carving frosts the surface for a bright white mark that photographs well. Laser engraving handles finer detail. Wall-mounted recognition stays visible to everyone who walks past, not just the recipient.
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: $72.00 each at 1-11, $44.64 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 in x 2 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
- Do not spend a week hunting for the perfect file. Send what exists and we will tell you what is usable.
- Artwork we redraw stays on file under your item number, so the next order runs from the same corrected file.
- Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.
- If brand color accuracy matters, give us the Pantone numbers rather than a screenshot to match.
- Convert all type to outlines so fonts do not substitute in production.
Production schedule
| Proof to you | Within one business day of usable artwork arriving |
|---|---|
| Production, standard | 3 to 5 business days, counted from your approval |
| Production, rush | quoted per job, confirmed in writing before you pay |
| Transit by ground | 1 to 5 business days, by distance from the shipping point |
Common uses
Service awardsWorks well for service awards, where the plaque format does what a printed handout cannot.
Donor recognitionBuilt for donor recognition. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Sponsor and partner recognitionSpecified regularly for sponsor and partner recognition. The imprint area at 2 in x 2 in is sized for exactly that job.
Sponsorship and partner thanksGiven to the people who funded or enabled the work, in a form they can keep visible.
Community and civic eventsLocal sponsorships and volunteer thanks, where visible presence matters more than volume.
Booth and trade show handoutsThe item that gives someone a reason to stop walking, and a reason to remember which booth it came from.
Customer loyalty tiersA physical marker of status that an account dashboard cannot replicate.
Event and conference giftingHanded to qualified conversations rather than to everyone, so the spend goes where the pipeline is.
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
Faith & Community Organizations
Faith communities give to mark moments rather than to advertise. These pieces are given once and kept for a lifetime, so the failure mode is not looking cheap but dating badly. Restrained typography and no year-specific styling means the piece still reads well in twenty years. Even at volume it holds $44.64, which tells you what tier this is.
2
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. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. 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. 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. An imprint area of 2 in x 2 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. At $72.00 before breaks this is relationship work, not advertising.
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. 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. Reserve it for named recipients: key clients, top performers, long service.
5
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. This is a shortlist item. Individual personalisation is expected at this level.
6
Government, Military & First Responders
This segment is precise about protocol and unforgiving about quality. Challenge coins, unit recognition, retirement and commendation pieces all carry established conventions. Sourcing compliance and documented lead times usually matter as much as the item itself. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. $72.00 before breaks buys something that stays on a desk for years.
How does ordering and turnaround work?
| Minimum order | 1 piece |
|---|---|
| Setup | Free, from one piece to five hundred |
| Freight | Free ground freight above $250, and we can split a run across individual addresses |
| Rush service | Rush available: tell us the date and we confirm it in writing before you pay |
| Proofing | Digital proof within 1 business day; production begins on written approval |
| Re-orders | Re-orders run from the file you already approved |
| Shipping | Free ground freight above $250, and we can split a run across individual addresses |
What do buyers ask about G3028?
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 G3028 runs from $72.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $44.64 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
What does it actually cost at quantity?
The published ladder on G3028 runs from $72.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $44.64 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. 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 G3028 is 2 in x 2 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.
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.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. G3028 sells from a single unit at $72.00, 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 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 G3028?
G3028 can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on G3028 runs from $72.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $44.64 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on G3028 is 2 in x 2 in.

- Ground freight is free from 12 pieces, which is where this order passes $250.00 of merchandise.
- The personalization area is 2 in by 2 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 33% of the 3,730 other priced items in Awards & Recognition. 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.
