FAQs
How long does it take to complete a job?
Most small engraving jobs are completed within 1-3 days. However, the exact timeline can vary depending on factors like design complexity, quantity, artwork requirements, setup time, material needs, our current workload, and unforeseen circumstances. We'll provide a personalised estimate based on your specific project details.
Is there a rush option available?
Need it sooner? If you're short on time then an Express option is available from $15 extra for our premium rush service. For those who need their engraving completed more quickly, we will get it done even if we are booked out. The exact turnaround time will depend on our current workload and the complexity of your project.
