Ceremonial groundbreaking shovels anchor this collection of groundbreaking ceremony gifts, awards, and keepsakes for construction milestones, grand openings, and ribbon cuttings. Pricing runs from $3.92 to $350.00 per piece, so a project team can order desk-size mementos for a wide list or a single full-length shovel for the first-dig photo.
Full-length shovels and desk-size keepsakes
The Promotional Ceremonial Groundbreaking Silver/Gold Shovel - 38" measures 38 inches long and lists gold, metal, silver, and wood. The Chrome Groundbreaking Shovels - 40"long, Personalized Plates measures 40 inches long with an 8 1/2" x 10 3/4" shovel head in chrome-plated metal and lacquered ash wood, and it comes with personalized plates. Smaller pieces fill out the range, including the Gold Mini Shovel (5 1/2") in zinc alloy and the Personalized Cast Pewter Branding Iron at 6 inches long.
Shadow boxes, plaques, and presentation boxes
Shadow boxes turn the ceremony tool into a wall piece for a lobby or a project office. The Personalized Gold Shovel Shadow Box uses a walnut frame measuring 9" x 12" x 1-1/2", and the Imprinted Gold Spike Shadow Box uses walnut at that same frame size. For a table or shelf instead of a wall, the Imprinted Wood Box for Gold Shovel measures 10-1/4" x 7-1/2" x 3" in gold and rosewood.
Who orders these
General contractors, developers, hospitals, school districts, and city offices order groundbreaking ceremony gifts for first-dig events, topping-out parties, and key-to-the-city presentations. The Promotional Stonecast Small Hard Hat is the lowest-priced style at $3.92 and measures 1 1/4" x 1 3/4" x 2 1/4" in stonecast, which suits a wider invite list.
Ordering and personalization
Minimum order quantities, personalization areas, and production lead times vary by style. Open the product page for the piece you want, or request a quote with your ceremony date so a rep can confirm the minimum, the decoration area, and the ship date before you book the photographer.
