How It Works
Describe the project and provide the material, dimensions, quantity, wording, deadline, and clear photos.
We review the item's material, shape, finish, size, and artwork before confirming that it can be engraved.
You receive pricing and any important project notes. A layout proof is provided when the design requires one.
After approval, your project is engraved, inspected, and prepared for local pickup or shipping.

Common Materials
Great candidates
- Wood, including pine, oak, birch, maple, and bamboo
- Acrylic, with cast acrylic preferred for crisp results
- Leather, especially vegetable-tanned leather
- Painted or powder-coated items
- Anodized aluminum
- Slate and certain stone products
- Compatible metals using a laser marking compound when needed
Common limitations
- PVC, vinyl, and unknown plastics are not accepted because they may release hazardous fumes.
- Clear polycarbonate often melts or chars and is generally unsuitable.
- Oversized or sharply curved objects may exceed equipment clearance or rotary limits.
- Mirror-polished, plated, or delicate finishes require individual review.
- Deep engraving into bare metal requires equipment different from our current laser system.
