Frequently Asked Questions
1. What materials can you engrave on?
We can engrave on a very wide variety of materials, including metal (like stainless steel and aluminum), wood, acrylic, glass, leather, and certain plastics. If you have a specific item in mind, the best step is to bring it to one of our shops for our experts to assess.
2. What is the typical turnaround time for a custom engraving project?
Turnaround time depends on the complexity of the design and the quantity of items. Simple projects on a single item can often be completed very quickly, while large orders may take several business days. We will always provide you with an accurate time estimate before you place your order.
3. What kind of artwork or logo file do you need?
For the best results, a vector file (such as .AI, .EPS, or .PDF) is ideal, as it allows us to resize your logo without losing any quality. However, we can often work with high-resolution image files like .JPEG or .PNG. Our team can evaluate your file and help prepare it for a perfect engraving.
