Artwork

The atrwork for engraving can be as simple as chosing a font type and font size for few words on a flat plate, or as complex as turning a one-off design into an engravable file. The most important part of this process is to make sure that we get it right.

We have a formal process in place to make sure our engraving is exactly what you wanted.

1. Initial Discussion
During the initial discussion we can talk about the award to want us to engrave, and you can describe what you would like us to engrave onto it. We'll include our estimate for preparing the artwork as a separate line on the estimate.

2. Agree the Artwork

The next step is for you to send us the artwork you want us to engrave either as text, a photograph or even a sketch. If you don't have the artwork then we can create some examples for you. 

3. Sign-Off

Once you have agreed the estimate we will go ahead and create the engravable files and then send them back to you for approval. It is important that you check our artwork carefully. You may have some queries about the artwork, you may want some changes made to the design or you may have spotted an error. If necessary, we'll update the artwork and send it back to you for review.  We will not start the engraving process until the artwork has been approved.

The review and sign-off is very important. Never assume that what we send is correct - make sure you check it. If you do spot something you will be very glad you did (and so will we).

4. Payments

For on-line purchases that do not require finishing you can pay for the items at the checkout. Note that VAT will be added to the price of each item at that point. 

Alternatively you can discuss your order and your finishing requirements with us, receive a quote and then receive an invoice from us for payment. You can then pay by Bank Transfer, or call us to pay by card over the phone.
