Engraving – Everything You Need to Know
Engraving
What is Engraving?
Engraving is a method where text is permanently etched into the surface of the tag. Unlike printed tags, engraved details do not fade or wear off over time, ensuring your information stays clear and visible.

Design Guidelines for Engraved Products
Please follow these guidelines to ensure the best engraving results:
Do's and Don'ts for Design Files
- ✅ Use solid, bold lines for best engraving clarity
- ❌ Avoid multi-color designs – engraving supports only single-color (monochrome) output
- ❌ Avoid very thin lines, as they may not engrave cleanly or visibly
Note
On the Water bottle and Pens, designs will be engraved in silver tone, whereas on the pet and Dog Tags, designs will be in black tone.
