WHAT MAKES THE BEST ENGRAVING
Engraving Tips
- We do not recommend all Upper Case for Standard Script, Single Line Script or Old English.
- All upper case in ANY Script and Old English is very difficult to read. For a “heavier” appearing letter, we recommend Goudy Block, Standard Block or Helvetica.
- Small letters can appear denser, whereas bigger letter are less dense.
- If special horizontal spacing is required, please also make a note on the order. Additional space(s) are not always apparent in the copy.
AVAILABLE OPTIONS
Font Options
- All fonts are available in upper case and/or lower case.
- Greek Letters are also available upon request.
- Specifying “larger” or “smaller” or different fonts is no extra charge.
ABOUT OUR PRODUCTS
How We Engrave
- All Engraving will be Centered horizontally and vertically unless otherwise specified in the comments section.
- A nameplate’s content may consist of just one line, or just one word, which will be centered horizontally and vertically on the plate.
- Our engraved letters are made up of one or more etched lines (depending on font).
- Our engraving is done by diamond point engravers, not by lasers.
- We normally darken the engraved lettering by oxidizing after the etched engraving is complete. If you do not want the engraving blackened, please let us know on the order form.
- Victoria, Century and Standard Script are outline fonts–will not engrave solid.
- Please ADD $2.50 per item if you require very specific size fonts and/or spacing. This requires extra design time. We can custom quote to this line.
- Our pricing DOES NOT include proofing. If a proof is required, the cost is $10.00 per item plus $5.00 for each revision per item. Proofing could delay your order by a day or two.
