Project Proofs
In order to ensure customer satisfaction, we submit a proof for all orders which require personalization and engraving. We strongly encourage customers to proof-read and spell-check personalization text prior to order submission. Customer revision and approval of graphical proofs is required for all engraved orders. We will not proceed with final engraving until customer's approval is received.
All personalization text changes, including spelling corrections and layout changes require a new proof. We provide up to two complimentary graphical proofs for each order. All additional proofs, layout, spelling and personalization changes requested by the customer will incur a $15.00 charge per proof.
We ask customers to reply to proof emails within 24 hours so as not to effect expected date of production. Late approvals from customers may require expedited shipping methods, or in some cases, rush production charges.
We do not take financial responsibility for the incorrect spelling of personalization text provided by the customer. It is the customer's responsibility to spell check and proof read personalization text prior to submitting orders. Customers are responsible for the charges they have authorized. We strongly encourage our customers to carefully review the proofs before the product is permanently engraved.
Color fill
Color fill is a technique of applying special paints on an etched area of glass or crystal. Color fill may be used for logos, custom graphics or text. An image is first engraved by using a deep etching technique. Then engravers apply translucent or opaque glass paints on the engraved surface. The process is completed by turning the items in a kiln to seal the paint.
We do not offer an exact PMS (Pantone Matching System) color match. Screen printing inks are different from glass and crystal paints used for color fill. Therefore, PMS colors can not be matched exactly for glass or crystal paints. We can try to approximate PMS colors by blending basic glass color paints.
Color fill charge is $15 per color per item. We offer the following basic colors: gold, silver, red, blue, black, and green. Please note that color fill orders may require additional 2-3 days of production time. Not all graphics and logos are suitable for color fill. Our graphical designers will determine if color fill can be applied to custom graphics.
