The table above contains estimates. There are many factors that will go into how long it will take to design your engraving. The more changes you want to make, the longer it will take.
Design fees must paid for before the design process will start. If you end up using more time than what was estimated for you, the additional fees will need to be paid before design work is continued.
Tips for designing your artwork
Simple is better! Black and white images always come out well. Images with shading and gradients can get muddled when laser engraved. High-contrast photos work on some materials, but not on others. Check our FAQs for more information on engraving photos.
Graphics Fees
Graphics fees are billed per hour. For your convenience, you can purchase graphic design time right along with your engraving. The amount of time can vary based different factors. Here are some tips to help streamline the design process:
1. Please have a vector copy of your logo. Common formats are EPS, AI, sometimes PDF.
2. Provide high resolution images.
3. Figure out what text you want to include.
4. Tell us if there is a specific Font you would like us to use.
5. Provide as much information as possible so that we know what you like and what look you are going for. The more you tell us, the easier it will be for us to give you what you want in the least amount of time.
