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! |
4. |

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. ALL photos
will have a processing fee of $15. |
