What to expect
A keepsake inscription, industrial plate and glass engraving require different equipment and finish expectations.
A good place to start
Send the exact text, dimensions and material before requesting a quote. Approve a layout proof and clarify whether you supply the object.
What to compare
- Material suitability
- Approved artwork
- Object handling and turnaround
Give each provider the same brief
Share photographs, dimensions and the result you want. Ask what the quote includes and excludes, how extra work is approved and who handles cleanup. Confirm the relevant qualifications and any guarantees for the work.
Something else to discover
Wallpaper
