Common Engraving Questions Answered
What's your typical turnaround time?
Typical turnaround is 3-5 business days, balancing speed with quality craftsmanship. Simple single-line engravings on readily accessible surfaces may be ready in 1-2 days, while intricate designs, watch case backs requiring disassembly, or batch corporate orders use the full timeframe. Reach out about expedited service if you're working with a tight deadline - we'll do our best to help.
Can I bring outside items for engraving?
Definitely! The majority of our engraving work is actually performed on items customers bring from elsewhere. We accept family heirlooms, online purchases, gifts, vintage finds - essentially any item suitable for engraving. Our jewelry expertise means we can confidently accept valuable and delicate pieces that standalone engraving shops often refuse, providing professional service regardless of where you obtained your item.
What text options do you offer?
Choose from dozens of professional typeface options during your consultation at Fast Fix. Our collection ranges from traditional engraving styles perfect for formal recognition items to contemporary fonts ideal for modern jewelry designs. We help you select appropriate fonts based on your item type, available space, and desired aesthetic. For example, delicate script works beautifully on wedding bands, while bold block letters ensure trophy plate readability. We can also create custom lettering or monograms for truly unique personalization.
Is engraving permanent? Can it be removed or corrected?
Once metal is engraved, the process cannot be reversed - text is permanently etched into the surface. Understanding this permanence, we implement careful safeguards to prevent mistakes. You'll review and sign off on your exact text including spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and spacing before we begin work. We double-check everything, including commonly confused details like dates and initials. This meticulous verification process ensures the engraving is exactly what you want. If an error somehow occurs on our end, we'll discuss solutions including possible refinishing or other remedies appropriate to the situation.
Is there a character limit for engraving?
The amount of text possible varies significantly based on item size, surface shape, and desired letter size for readability. Small jewelry pieces like rings work best with brief inscriptions - initials, short dates, or 2-3 word phrases. Medium items including watch backs and pendants accommodate longer messages of several copyright. Large surfaces like trophy plates or flasks can include substantial text, multiple lines, or even paragraphs. During your visit, we'll examine your item and help you craft text that fits beautifully while remaining easily readable.
