What is an oval paperweight and what is it used for?

An oval paperweight is a weighted clear desk piece shaped as a smooth oval that holds loose paper in place. This one measures 4 inches across with a low profile and a groove running around the rim. Companies order them as client gifts, service awards and conference handouts.

How heavy is the oval paperweight and how big is it?

The oval paperweight weighs 1.5 pounds and measures 4 inches across. The low profile keeps it under the sight line on a desk, so it does not block a monitor or crowd a keyboard. That weight is enough to hold a stack of loose sheets under a fan or an open window.

Can an oval paperweight be deep etched with a company logo?

Yes, the oval paperweight takes a deep etched logo on the bottom, in an area up to 2.5 by 1.675 inches. Deep etching cuts a frosted mark that shows white when you look down through the clear body. The mark cannot rub off, because it sits below the surface rather than on it.

Which industries order clear desk paperweights most often?

Clear desk paperweights are ordered most often by law firms, banks, insurance agencies, real estate brokerages and hospitals. Those buyers want a client gift that stays on a desk instead of going into a drawer. Nonprofits also use them for donor and board recognition.

How long does production take once the artwork is approved?

Production on this desk paperweight runs 5 working days from artwork approval. The minimum order is one piece, so a single retirement gift and a full client list both work. Shipping time is added on top of the production window.

What artwork works best for a deep etched paperweight?

Deep etched paperweights read best with a clean single color logo or a short line of text. Fine gradients and photographic detail do not carry into an etched mark, because etching removes material rather than adding ink. Bold shapes and clear type hold up at this size.

How should a clear paperweight be cleaned?

A clear paperweight cleans with a soft dry cloth, or a lightly damp cloth dried straight after. Skip abrasive pads and scouring powders, which leave fine scratches across a clear surface. The etched mark on the base needs no separate care.

What affects the price of a custom oval paperweight?

The price of a custom oval paperweight depends on the quantity you order and the setup for your artwork. Deep etching carries a one time setup for each new logo, and the per piece figure falls as the run gets larger. A quote is built from your quantity and your art file.

Description

The oval paperweight weighs 1.5 pounds in a low profile 4 inch disc, so it pins down a stack of loose paper without standing tall enough to block your screen. Built for client desks, employee service gifts and conference room handouts, it carries a deep etched logo that reads white from directly above.

Set one on a client desk at a renewal meeting and it stays there, because a paperweight earns its spot by doing a job rather than by asking for shelf room. Law firms, banks and insurance agencies hand them out at closings, where a heavy clear disc reads as steady rather than showy. It also works as a five year service gift, a retirement token and a handout at a board meeting where every guest gets the same piece. Nonprofits use the same shape for donor and board recognition. Deep etching frosts your mark into the underside, so the logo shows white against the desk beneath it and never rubs off the way a printed surface eventually does.

Pair it with the standing star paperweight in chrome, copper or gold when you want one gift that lies flat and one that stands up on the same desk. The metal finish gives a second tier to an award program without changing the theme. If you are still choosing shapes, the full custom paperweight range covers hearts, blocks and faceted diamonds. Both ship in the same production window.

Upload your artwork and we will return a free virtual proof before any payment is due. The minimum is one piece, and production runs 5 working days from the day you approve the proof.
