How are the logo's engraved?
We can engrave a company logo, fraternity crest, or organization's logo on most of the gifts we offer. Not every logo will functionally work with every gift. The first step is to submit the logo for consideration. Our staff will evaluate the image file to determine whether it can be converted to an engravable image format.
(TOP)
You can submit a logo for consideration by emailing it as an attachment to: sales@engravedgiftsdirect.com. Please see "What image format is required" for additional details.
(TOP)
The most important aspect of the submitted logo is the quality of the image. Images with clean, sharp, high contrast lines are ideal. In general, larger image sizes convert easier and better than do smaller ones. Bit mapped images (.bmp, .jpg, .gif) submitted should be 700 or greater pixels wide. (Note: You may need to "Zip" or compress large format images, in order to get them through your email system.) Vector files can be submitted in nearly any size.

If your customer has done any print advertising, then they most likely have access to a quality image, which would be suitable for engraving. The ideal image format is a "one bit" vector image (.ai, .cdr, .wmf). If a "camera ready", black and white image is not available, please submit the best image available. Best meaning, the largest and cleanest. Web graphics do not normally convert or engrave well. Smooth lines make for cleaner converstion and cleaner engraving. Images may be submitted in .ai, .psd, .cdr, .wmf, .pdf, .bmp, .jpg, or .gif format, again we're looking for the best image available.
(TOP)
We strongly recommend that your customer order an engraved sample, when time permits, so they'll be able to fully appreciate how the finished product will look.
When possible, we will provide you with a low resolution graphic representation of how the image will convert and engrave.

Cost
We NOT charge a logo conversion fee for for images submitted in vector format. Bit mapped images need to be converted to vectors. For most images we charge $35 to do the conversion. The conversion fee is a one-time fee. After the initial conversion we'll keep your converted logo on file for future orders.
For each logo engraving job we charge a Setup/Preparation fee of $8. This charge is applied to each order up to 250 pieces. And it is waived for orders over 250 pieces of the same item.
Basic logo engraving $3
Basic logo engraving, means the non-complex logo will be engraved in traditional "Outline" fashion.
Detailed logos and filled logos $5 to $15
Detailed logos, even outine only logos, can take a long time to engrave (15 minutes or longer each). Filled logos are logos that are essentially "colored in". The process can be very time consuming. Complex and filled logos are priced based on engraving time.
(TOP)
We do all engraving using traditional "Diamond Drag" engraving. As the name implies, Diamond Drag produces an image by
precisely dragging a diamond tipped stylus across the gift. This time tested method, is the method used by leading engraved gifts stores, and produces a truly beautiful engraving.
