                          Laser Engraving

Laser engraving is a unique way to enhance the creativity and style of many art and craft products.   Some projects are simple, such as engraving a name on a pen or signing a turned bowl.  Some projects are involved such as cleaning up a complex logo and engraving or marking it on a new material.   Some projects are complicated, such as designing a custom award plaque using special woods and gold leaf or starting with a concept for a product and designing the entire piece.  This all sounds as if it might be expensive, time-consuming, and risky. Still, in fact, most laser engraving projects are very straightforward, relatively inexpensive, and quick with a predictable outcome.

 

 

  What are the steps for having my work laser engraved?

These are the formal steps in planning a project.  We will typically go through all these steps even though one or more of the steps may seem somewhat insignificant.

  • You contact us with details on your project.
  • We come to a joint understanding of the scope of the project.
  • You accept a project quotation and approve the project.
  • Artwork for the laser engraving is created and presented for approval if necessary.
  • Your project pieces are delivered to us or we create them to your specifications.
  • Proof/test samples and/or pictures are returned for approval if necessary.
  • Production items are engraved

What about fees and payments?

  • Any significant setup fees must be paid up front, but our setup fees are typically minimal.
  • Large projects may require a 50% partial up-front payment
  • Engraving fees will be due a the completion of the project.
  • Payment options include cash, check (U.S. bank, U.S. funds), credit card (via Paypal).
  • For custom products that we provide, an up-front payment will be necessary for materials.

                Can anything go wrong?

The laser engraver is a tool and tools can break.  So however unlikely, it is possible for things to go wrong.   We do understand that many of the things we are hired to engrave are one-of-a-kind items.  For this reason we may request a sample of the material for testing prior to the production engraving.   If your piece is unique and/or irreplaceable then we will be very hesitant to work on it.  Wine bottles typically engrave nicely, but we will not be responsible if a bottle breaks during engraving.   The same is true for any glass objects.

We always try our very best to be careful and responsible, to anticipate problems, and to use test pieces when prudent.  But, if it scares you to get your piece engraved then it scares us too.
