Branded coasters, recognition plaques, client-gift kits — Big Laser Co. handles corporate engraving the same way it handles everything else: scoped and quoted like a project, produced by the person who owns the machines. Catalog coasters start at $7 each with a minimum of just three pieces, bulk discounts kick in at 50, and larger or more custom runs get a written quote. Everything ships anywhere in the US.

What counts as a corporate gift run

The most common request is the branded coaster: your logo engraved on a 4x4 blank in slate, leather, or baltic birch plywood. Beyond coasters, the studio takes on plaques, awards, and event kits as custom projects — the Thunder Nova Plus laser has a 51-inch bed, and a full Powermatic woodworking shop plus Formlabs and Bambu Lab 3D printers back it up, so a piece that starts as a sketch or a CAD file can become a finished object under one roof.

One thing worth knowing before you order: laser engraving is monochrome. There is no ink. The contrast comes from the material itself — the mark is cut into the surface, which is exactly why it cannot peel, fade, or wash off the way surface printing does. A slate coaster with a crisp white-grey logo will look the same after five hundred coffee cups.

Minimums and pricing

Coaster pricing is straightforward enough to publish:

| Item | Price | | --- | --- | | Standard coaster (min. 3) | $7 each | | Slate upgrade | +$2 per coaster | | Non-round "fancy" silhouette | +$0.50 per coaster | | Engraved Coaster 4-Pack | $16 | | 50+ coasters | 5% off | | 100 coasters | 10% off |

Catalog orders cap at 100 coasters. That's not a capacity limit — it's the line where an order becomes a project. Past 100 pieces, you get a quote instead of a cart, which usually works in your favor: a quoted run can bundle packaging, mixed materials, or multiple designs in ways a product page can't.

Plaques, awards, and kit builds don't have list prices because no two are alike. Send what you have — a logo, a headcount, a budget — and you'll get a real number back, not a configurator.

Artwork: what to send

For standard-tier coaster runs, you supply the art: clean black-and-white files work best, since engraving renders in exactly two states — marked and unmarked. A sharp vector or high-resolution logo on a plain background is ideal. If your artwork needs rework, or the project is fully bespoke, that becomes part of the project scope and the quote.

Timelines and batch scheduling

Production is scheduled from the day the design is locked — not from the first email. That distinction matters more than any other on the calendar: approvals, logo revisions, and procurement sign-offs all happen before the clock starts, so the single best thing you can do for your deadline is lock artwork early. A couple of months of runway is ideal for larger projects.

Runs above 200 pieces are welcome and are scheduled as production batches, which keeps quality consistent from the first piece to the last. Rush work is sometimes possible; it is never promised. If your event date is fixed, say so in the first message and the schedule gets built around it honestly.

Shipping and delivery

Finished orders ship anywhere in the US. If you're along Colorado's Front Range — Fort Collins, Denver, Boulder, Estes Park, Colorado Springs — local pickup in Loveland is on the table, and hand-off in person is a good excuse to see the materials before your next order.

Start with a headcount and a logo

That's genuinely all a quote requires: how many, roughly when, and the artwork you'd like engraved. Get in touch with those three things and you'll get back a scoped price, a realistic schedule, and one person accountable for both.
