Personalization and Engraving Tips
1. |
When sending us your engraving instructions, please realize that we cannot take them over the phone without a written copy. While we prefer email, you may fax your TYPED instructions to 812-295-4826. |
2. |
Please be as SPECIFIC as possible. Use proper grammar, punctuation, and only use capital letters where you want them. We will engrave it just as you write it. From these instructions, our artist using their experience and judgment will produce the layout and proof. |
3. |
You may send us an instruction file you created as GIFs, TIFs, PDFs, CorelDraw, Microsoft Word files. Hand drawings of your rough idea or layout~we love to see your original ideas! |

We can use your artwork and logo, but we will assume you have the legal right to use such artwork. The work should be 3x's the size you want it engraved. At this size, the artwork must have clean, crisp edges. Please use a high resolution file. Black and white only, please. No grays or colors. If it becomes necessary to re-draw your artwork for engraving, we will inform you of the charges before doing so. Typically, artwork re-draws cost $25 per hour. |

Regarding photos: Not all photos are suitable for engraving. Black and white original photos are best. Please scan your photo (if you are emailing it to us) at either 300 dpi or 600 dpi as a grayscale bitmap. You may also mail us your photo and it will be returned to you safety. While we cannot make a small photo larger, we can take a large photo and make it smaller. Again, our artists will let you know if your photo needs clean up. |
