Wood Base Business Card Holder and Pen Set*
Display your business cards in this attractive desk set with a polished finish.
This is a regal desktop accessory that would fit easily on the desk of even the highest ranking executive officer. Crafted with detail and precision from the finest materials, this is a card and pen holder that is designed to impress clients and associates alike. Stunning and eye catching, this shimmering piece is a powerful way to give your desk a sense of strength and dominance, and it does it in the quiet way good desk objects do, by being the one thing on the desk that was clearly chosen rather than issued.
The base of this piece is a polished hardwood material with a red piano wood finish that is absolutely stunning in its perfection. It has the depth you see on a concert grand, dark and lacquered, catching the overhead light in a long soft line. This piece is set with the silver chrome metallic card holder, which contains the downward pen place for storing the ball point writing accessory, so the pen has a home instead of rolling under the monitor. The front of the piece also has a metallic decorative nameplate.
On the front end name plate you can have a short message engraved, which you can personalize with your name, family name, or initials. If you are a doctor or a lawyer you may want to have your full title engraved in the piece. Otherwise, you might want your company's name or your position within the business set into the metallic display. Engraved in-house by HansonEllis, that nameplate is what turns a card holder into the Wood Base Business Card Holder and Pen Set that belongs to one particular person.
Aside from using this on your own desk, this can be a great gift to give to someone who is getting their first official desk in a real company. Alternatively, if you know someone who is starting up a business, get that business's name engraved on the front plate and give this to them as a way of wishing them luck and inspiring pride in their own creation. It is the gift that gets photographed on day one and then used for the next decade.
Add your engraving text above, choose your quantity, and let HansonEllis engrave it in-house for you.

Which one should I choose
Desk card holders split into three kinds: the set that also holds the pen and carries a name, the bare holder that only stacks cards, and the standalone nameplate that carries a title and nothing else.
| Wood Base Business Card Holder and Pen Set | Choose it when you want one piece that stores the cards, holds the ball point pen and carries an engraved name or title on the front. |
|---|---|
| A plain card holder with no nameplate | Choose that when the desk already has a nameplate and the cards just need somewhere tidy to sit. |
| The Roman numeral picture frame alarm clock or the leather photo frame mouse pad | Choose those alongside this set when you are building a whole executive desk rather than buying one object for it. |
For a gift that has to look like an occasion on a desk, the set with the engraved nameplate does the work of three items and looks like one.

The Wood Base Business Card Holder and Pen Set is a natural company gift for a sales conference, a partner announcement, a client thank-you run or a graduation group, and there is no minimum order, so one set or fifty is fine.

Standard production runs 5–10 business days, rush 3–5 and expedite 1–3, plus 2–5 days US shipping, and for a wedding order 3–6 months ahead. For bulk pricing, please contact [email protected].
Questions shoppers ask about the Wood Base Business Card Holder and Pen Set
What size is the Wood Base Business Card Holder and Pen Set?
6"W x 3-1/4"H, a desktop footprint that fits in front of a monitor or beside a keyboard.
What is it made of?
The base is a polished hardwood material with a red piano wood finish. It is set with a silver chrome metallic card holder, and the front carries a metallic decorative nameplate.

How much text fits on the nameplate?
A short message of up to 2 lines. Names, family names, initials, a full professional title, a company name or a position within the business all work well at that length.
Is a professional title a good idea?
It is one of the most common uses. If you are a doctor or a lawyer you may want to have your full title engraved in the piece, which is what makes the plate read as a nameplate rather than a decoration.
Can you engrave our company logo on the plate?
A logo is a custom order. Email vector artwork (.eps, .ai, .cdr, .pdf or .svg) or a high resolution image to [email protected]. A logo setup fee applies and not every logo can be reproduced at nameplate size, so send it before planning the order.
Can I order several with different names?
Yes. Order the full quantity, then email the list of names and titles to [email protected] so each plate is engraved with the right one.
Can I see a proof of the engraving first?
Proofs are optional and available on request for a $35-55 service fee per proof, and they add extra days to production. Changes after a proof carry a $40 minimum updating fee.
Is there a minimum order?
No, there is no minimum order. One set for one desk is a perfectly normal order.

Standard production is 5 to 10 business days, rush 3 to 5 and expedite 1 to 3, plus 2 to 5 days US shipping by UPS, FedEx or USPS, insured, with tracking emailed to you.
