Description
The Color Box is a plastic hourglass desk accessory that brings a miniature mental vacation to your workspace. Turn it over and watch the gelatinous colored liquids slowly fall, break apart, and reform at the bottom of the vessel. Its compact 5.5" x 2.125" size fits neatly on a desk or in a cubicle, offering a moment of visual entertainment during a busy day.
Your organizational or company logo, emblem, or message can be added using pad print, a method that applies a thin, flat layer of ink that conforms to curved surfaces with crisp edges. This creates a fun branded promotion that makes an enchanting gift or giveaway. Note: not intended for children or pets; may present a choking hazard to children under 3 years.
Decoration & Imprint
1 method
Your imprint is pad printed onto the surface of the hourglass, using a thin, flat ink layer that conforms to the curved plastic for crisp edges. For detailed artwork, pad print is best for fine lines and small text, while avoiding broad solid fills.
Pad Printing1 color/location included · one-time setup $40.00 · Up to 4 colorsPMS
Pad printing (tampography) transfers ink from a silicone pad onto the item, flexing into curves, angles, and recessed areas flat application can't follow. The result is a thin, nearly flush ink layer with well-defined edges — each color prints as an opaque spot-ink solid, holding evenly on contoured or darker surfaces; cured ink resists everyday wear.
