questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, laser engraving technology can accommodate a variety of design types, including logos and images. The quality of the final product will depend on the complexity and detail of the design, the quality of the artwork, as well as the material being engraved. The quality of the end product depends directly on the quality of the artwork. We do offer artwork services if needed.
We take pride in our ability to engrave a wide range of materials with precision and care, ensuring that your custom designs are brought to life on the medium of your choice. Our state-of-the-art laser engraving technology allows us to work with a variety of materials including, but not limited to, wood, acrylic, glass, metal, leather, and certain plastics. Whether you're looking to engrave a personalized gift, or a corporate award our skilled team can handle your request with professionalism and attention to detail. Each material is meticulously processed to achieve a clean, lasting impression that enhances the uniqueness of your engraved item. If you have any specific material or project in mind, feel free to contact us to discuss your options.
Customer provided items are accepted conditionally. We require testing on most items that we don’t provide. Testing is typically not needed for items such as tumblers and cutting boards, but items such as leathers and plastics and various metals do require testing. We do charge for testing your product. We can’t guarantee any results on new items until they have been tested and the tested item will most likely not be usable after it undergoes the testing process. Because of this, we suggest only bringing your own items when you have a large quantity to engrave.
Yes, we laser engrave photos on all forms of materials. A 600 dpi image or higher quality is required for photo engraving.
The best quality is achieved by using vector files, typically in .ai, .svg, and .eps format. We also accept bitmapped files, like .png, .jpg, .pdf, and .tiff files, but recommend that these are sized to the actual product being engraved, and of a resolution of 300 dpi minimum (the higher the resolution the better). Customer must own the rights to use any customer supplied artwork, and, by submitting the artwork, attest to their rights to use it and granting Honu Engraving permission to use the artwork to complete any engraving ordered. We reserve the right to decline orders that involve copyrighted artwork, or artwork deemed obscene, hateful, or offensive.
You have to own the rights to your logo if you'd like us to engrave it.
Yes, it is common to provide a digital proof or physical sample for approval before beginning the laser engraving process. This ensures that the final product meets your expectations and specifications.
Laser engraving itself doesn't add color. It only changes the surface of the material or burns down into it. However, you can paint or use other techniques to add color after you pick up your item.
The time it takes depends on the design's complexity and size. Small and simple designs can take just a few seconds, while more detailed and larger designs take longer, sometimes several hours.
No, you don't need a minimum order. We value all engraving projects, from small or big projects. Whether you want one time or many we provide high-quality, precise engraving. Every order gets careful attention to detail. We offer significant quantity discounts for higher volume orders.
Generally, we do not do same-day or one-day service, but we highly value our customers so there is a possibility that we can work something out for you. The laser engraving process requires careful attention to detail and precision. As such, please allow a processing time of approximately 1-5 days from the date the order is confirmed. We strive to complete each engraving within this timeframe but may occasionally require additional time for complex designs or during peak periods. If you have purchased other items, they will also be put on hold until engraving is done so that your items ship together. Please contact us directly.
