Engraving Information

Proofs and Approval

We will always produce a proof layout as a jpeg file and email it to you for approval before proceeding with engraving.

Text and Fonts

We can engrave with most Windows TrueType fonts. If you have a preference, please let us know when you order, otherwise we will produce a proof based on what we think looks good.

We will try and accomodate your requirements, but please remember that the more text that is required, the smaller it will have to be in order to fit. Also, there becomes a point at which the text will be too small to be legible. If this is the case, we will advise you on the solution we think is best.

Images

We have the facility to engrave images, photographs or logos, but the finished result can vary dramatically with the quality and type of original image.
Photographs rely on a good contrast to produce the best results, and the end product will look different depending upon the angle it is viewed from, and the lighting.

If you require an image please send us a file to work with.

It is the customers responsibility to ensure that they are entitled to use the image with respect to copyright. We will engrave images you supply on the understanding that you have obtained the relevant permission to use it, and we cannot be held reponsible for any breach of copyright.

For smaller items such as jewellery tags, a vector (line) image gives best results. Ideally an .ai .eps or PDF image would be best, but we can try and convert jpeg images.

Due the time involved in setting up some images, we charge a small fee per item to cover this.

Please contact us first regarding graphics, so that we can see if the image is suitable for engraving.
