How to Create Engraving Files to Send Us

a) Text Only Engravings

Create a MS WORD (.doc) or WORDPAD (.rtf) document.

You can use most True Type Fonts for your text.

Type in what you want engraved.

If you want to engrave a logo/graphic, note the general location where you want the logo/graphic engraved.

For example:

Top Sales Award
[company-logo.jpg]
Presented To
Kelly Wilson


We will center and size your text to fit on your item.

b) Adding a Logo/Graphic to your Text Engraving

Your graphic or logo should be a high resolution file, black & white, in TIFF or JPG format.

The black part of your logo/graphic will be engraved.

c) Multiple Awards with same design but different recipients

In your text, place brackets [] around the text that will change for each engraving. For example, if the text that will change will be the recipient's name, then type in [name] where the name will be engraved.

In addition, send us a text file with a column heading in brackets, followed by the list of recipient names.

For Example:

[name]
John Kollins
Mary Wolfgang
Tim Thompson


If you don't know all the recipients ahead of time, send us a file with the list you do have. You can then email or fax the information as you get it, and we will engrave it at that time.
