Decorating Methods (g)

Laser Engraving - a laser beam removes wood leaving a naturally darkened recessed area varying in color from very dark tan to nearly black, depending on the wood species and other factors. Set up: $ 40.00.

Increased size laser engraving - you may laser larger than the stated size in the catalog on many products (run charge: $ .45 per additional sq. in.). Additional positions may be added (set up: $ 40.00, run charge: $ 1.10 up to 2 sq. in.).

Photo engraving - lasers a copy of a supplied photograph onto wood. The quality is dependent on the quality of the submitted photo. Submit photographs of high contrast as close to finished size as possible, recommended between 2 x 3" through 8 x 10". Cropping, touch-up and enhancements can be made to the submitted photos by our art department. Set up: $90.00, run charge: $ .60 per sq. in.

Debossing (blind hot stamping) - depression of an image into leather so the image sits below the surface. Set up: $70.00 (includes die), run charge $ .80 per additional position.

Die Cast Medallions - we use true die casting, not spin casting. Molten metal is poured into the die allowing us to produce fine detail rivaling die striking. Medallions are available in polished brass or silver and antique brass or silver. Set up: $100.00 (includes die).

Plates - plates can be added to many products. Finishes can be
brass, brushed brass, silver, brushed silver or black on metal or plastic base material.

Blank plates - $.25 per square inch (min. $ .90), Engraving - $1.10 up to 3 square inches (min. $1.10/plate) with additional square inches at $ .20, Personalization - $4.00 per name or initials plus plate cost. Direct print full color is now offered on gold or silver metal plates at $ .35 per sq. in. (min. $ 1.30/plate) plus full color set up: $90.00.

Four Color Process - Full color images are directly printed to product surfaces with state of the art equipment at resolutions as high as 5760 dpi. We use an 8 color printer utilizing the CMYK color palette. PMS color matches will be done via the PMS 4-color process bridge standard. Artwork should be vector based and saved in the CMYK color palette. We can accept .eps, .pdf, .psd and .cdr files. Set up $90 (g) with $0.20 (g) per square inch run charge.
