Custom engraved Proof wallet arranged in its gift presentation

A proof-led process

Every project starts with the material, design, quantity, and timing in view. You’ll approve a digital proof before production begins.

Before the first pass

The object comes first.

Bring or send the item, along with the name, message, artwork, or placement you have in mind. We will look at the surface and confirm what is practical before a proof is prepared.

Materials we can review

Wood, metal, acrylic, glass, and leatherette are common starting points for engraving. The finish, shape, coating, and usable surface still matter.

Materials need an honest check

Unknown or coated materials may need a test piece first. If the surface is not a good fit, we will tell you before production rather than guess.

Bring it or send it

Central Louisiana customers can ask about drop-off or pickup details. Items can also be sent in for review; share the dimensions and photos when you contact us.

One meaningful piece is welcome

There is no minimum order quantity. Basic engraving is included, while enhanced or full-surface work may incur an additional charge depending on the project.

How it works

A clear path from idea to finished piece.

Basic engraving is included. Enhanced or full-surface work may incur an additional charge depending on the piece and artwork. We quote each project for its size, material, quantity, and design.

1. Share the item

Tell us what it is, what it is made from, and what you want engraved. Photos help us start the material conversation.

2. Approve the proof

You will see a digital proof and approve the design, spelling, placement, and artwork before production begins.

3. Pick up or ship

Choose pickup in Central Louisiana or shipping within the United States. Typical production is 3–14 business days, with no guaranteed dates.

Portfolio work

Questions before you start

The practical details.

A few answers about materials, proof approval, project size, and delivery.

Can you engrave anything I bring?

Not every surface is suitable. Wood, metal, acrylic, glass, and leatherette are common materials, but unknown or coated items may need a test piece and final approval.

How do I get the item to you?

If you are local, ask about drop-off or pickup in Central Louisiana. You can also contact us about sending the item and include clear photos, dimensions, and material details.

Will I see the design first?

Yes. A digital proof is approved by you before production begins.

Can you engrave a one-off piece?

Yes. One-off pieces are welcome and there is no minimum order quantity.

What if the item cannot be replaced?

Please do not send an irreplaceable or high-sentimental-value item that we cannot replace. We review the risk of the material and surface, but customer-provided items carry that limitation.

Have an item in mind?

Let’s see whether it belongs on the workbench.
