Engraving FAQs
How quickly can items be engraved?
Onsite engravings are typically limited to three words or less. At this volume, an individual item can be drafted, etched, and filled (optional) in under 10 minutes. Generally, the smaller the item, the quicker the process (and vice versa).
Can any surface be engraved?
Glass, metal, slate, slate, ceramic, and some plastics take well to engraving. Color-fill of engraving is only possible for untextured glass and plastic.
What does a live event engraving package include?
Our packages include setup, artist performance with all tools necessary for engraving and clean-up of items, and strike. Actual items to be engraved are be supplied by the client.
What are your rates for live event engraving?
Every occasion is unique, and the final cost ultimately depends on the experience you would like to provide your guests, attendance volume, and timeframe.
That being said, our most popular live event artistry package is $1,000. This covers events 4-hours long with a single artist and single service (engraving, calligraphy, wood burning, heat foiling, leather debossing, or painting).

The Engraving Process
Step 1 – Draft
Material permitting, designs are drafted on the surface to be engraved.

Artwork is then etched with a quiet, battery-operated, micro drill. Protective eyewear and a mask are worn during the process.
Step 3 – Fill
Depending on surface and client preference, the engraving may be filled with colored wax or ink.
