Four steps
to a finished piece.
No obligation until you approve. Most projects move from file to finished piece in under a week.
Send a file
PNG, JPG, PDF, AI, EPS — whatever you've got. No design? Tell us what you want and we'll mock something up.
Free proof & estimate
We send a digital mockup showing exactly how your engraving will look, with a detailed quote. Tweak as many times as you need.
We fire the laser
Once approved, we engrave your pieces on our 105W CO2 system. Single piece or 500 — same precision.
Pick up or ship
Grab it from the shop in Fort Dodge or we'll pack and ship anywhere in the US.
Common questions.
How much does engraving cost?
It varies a lot — the piece, the material, the size of the engraving, and the quantity all factor in. That's why every project gets a free, no-obligation estimate before you commit. Send us what you have in mind and we'll come back with a real number.
Do I need to provide a design file?
Not at all. If you have one, great — we'll work from it. If you don't, describe what you want and we'll put together a digital proof for you to approve or revise.
What materials can you engrave?
Wood, glass, leather, metal (with the right coating), acrylic, slate, and coated stainless steel. We can also cut wood up to about 3/4" thick. If you're not sure, ask.
How fast can you turn it around?
Most orders run 5–10 business days after proof approval. It depends on the size of the order and how busy the shop is at the time, so we’ll give you a realistic date with your proof. Rush jobs are sometimes possible — just ask when you send the file.
Can I supply my own products?
Yes. We engrave on customer-supplied pieces all the time — heirloom flasks, knives, gifts, anything that fits in the laser bed. Just ask first so we can confirm it's safe to engrave.
Do you ship?
Yes, anywhere in the US. Pickup orders are ready at our Fort Dodge shop on the same timeline — we’ll let you know when yours is done.
