FAQ’s About Our Metal Engraving Services
From turnaround times and artwork requirements to shipping options and bulk order discounts, we’ve answered the most common queries.
-
Our lead times vary depending on workload, season, and the specifics of your order.
Individual items (e.g. a knife or metal sign): usually processed within 24–48 hours.
Bulk orders (50+ units): typically 4–7 working days.
We’ll always be upfront about turnaround times, and we’ll work with you to meet urgent deadlines wherever possible.
-
Because every project is bespoke, pricing is tailored to your specific needs. Your quote will depend on a few key factors:
Artwork Requirements
For the sharpest results (especially on glass), we need a properly formatted vector file (AI, EPS, or high-res PDF). Artwork prep can take anywhere from 15 minutes to several hours, depending on complexity.
Machine Setup & Preparation
Engraving metalware isn’t just “press and go.” Items must be precisely positioned in the machine, often with multiple adjustments. Laser settings—power, speed, and pulse frequency—are also fine-tuned for each material and thickness.
Processing Time
Detailed artwork requires slower engraving speeds and reduced spacing between intervals to achieve a crisp, clean finish. While this delivers striking results, it does increase processing time, especially for large or intricate motifs.
-
