If your artwork has to be revised we will charge $100.00 per hour, with a minimum charge of $50.00. We will advise you of the estimated charges before any alteration to your artwork is commenced. 

We do not charge setup or layout fees, this includes typesetting of text and inclusion of, or resizing of artwork.

We will personalise your selection enabling recognition to the individual, providing we are supplied with a typewritten alphabetical list of names with the order. Alternatively a word processing file on 3.5" disc, CD or submitted by e-mail is also acceptable as this ensures no possibility of misunderstanding or misspelling. There is no charge for this service.   

All material submitted by the customer for use by us in engraving the items will be accepted in good faith as being in full compliance with all applicable laws regarding trademark, copyright, patent or similar protection. It is your responsibility to ensure compliance with this requirement.

There is no charge for engraving of text and no minimum quantity requirement when text is all that is to be engraved.  Engraving of logos requires a minimum order of $200.00 of any single product, the limitation of our free engraving is extended to a single engraving of a maximum of 25 sq centimetres per item, engraving in excess of this is charged at a rate of $0.20 per sq cm, any second engraving on the one product will be charged at the same rate. It is important to consider that the most likely reason you have selected one of our products is because it is made from a beautiful timber, engraving a large logo tends to detracts from the item.

When measuring your engraving area please ensure you measure the "squared off" area to be engraved, not just the area covered by the logo.  

Please note that for technical reasons not all of our products are suitable to be engraved.

If you require text only to be engraved, we would recommend that you select from the following fonts as our experience has shown that these fonts will engrave very well. Should you require a different font, please be prepared to provide it. We will centre justify and centrally position your text on the middle of the required surface, unless we are given alternative instructions.
