The amount of personalization text that can be engraved on the award is dependent on the size and shape of engraving area. It looks visually appealing when personalization text flows with the shape of the award. In order to make engraved personalization text easy to read- we recommend a minimum font size of 12 points.

For example is you choose an award with a tapered crystal base, you can fit up to 16 characters (Arial font, size 12 points) on the first line. Because the shape of the engraving area is trapezoid, the second line is wider and can fit 3 more characters.  Refer to Figure 1.

Your choice of font is important as well. Some fonts are wider than others. If you choose a special or wide font such as Cornerstone - it will require double the engraving area of Arial font. Refer to Figure 2.

​

In addition, we dot not recommend engraving too close to the edge of the engraving area. The border size differs from award to award, but should be proportionate to the overall size. For example, if you are interested in a vertical plaque size 5 inchx7 inch you may want to leave about one inch around each border. However, if you choose 3 inch x 4 inch plaque, your border will be 0.75 inch.

If your personalization text does not fit on one line, our graphical designers will suggest word-wrapping or an alternative text layout. If you wish to create your own artwork, please convert all of your fonts to outlines, and do not make font sizes smaller than 12 points Arial. Artwork must be submitted in black and white vector format - .AI or .EPS files.

Text layout set-up and standard text engraving is FREE on all of our crystal awards and trophies.

Set-up charges $35-$75 are applied to orders that require logo and custom artwork engraving. Set-up fee for camera-ready artwork is $35.00. Set-up fee for all other artwork formats is $75.00. In order to best reproduce graphics or logo on the crystal award, we have to adapt logo or graphics to engraving procedure. This procedure may require some color / line thickness adjustments of the graphic file.

Free engraving is limited to deep etching of one side at one time per each item. If a customer wishes to engrave multiple sides of one award or trophy, we charge a multiple side engraving fee. The multiple side engraving fee is PER SIDE / PER ITEM. The fee is $25 for a trophy or an award and $10 for a paperweight. If the item needs to be engraved for a second time, at a later date, the engraving charge is $45.00 per time.

In order to ensure customer satisfaction, we proof 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 shipment. Late approvals from customers may require expedited shipping methods or in some cases rush production charges.

Crystal Art USA, LLC. does 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 their 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.

Colorfill is a technique of applying special paints on an etched area of glass or crystal. Colorfill 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.

We do not offer an exact PMS (Pantone Matching System) color match. PMS color matching was introduced by the printing industry in order to standardize printer ink colors. Screen printing inks are different from glass and crystal paints used for colorfill. 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.

Colorfill charge is $25 per item up to 2 basic colors. We offer the following basic colors: gold, silver, red, blue, black. Please note that colorfill orders may require additional 2-3 days of production time. Not all graphics and logos are suitable for colorfill. Our graphical designers will determine if colorfill can be applied to custom graphics.

To create a custom shaped crystal award or trophy, we first need to fabricate a mold.  Creating a custom mold is a very costly and lengthy process and therefore it makes small custom orders cost inefficient.   However if your project requires at least 50 units, custom shaped awards can be an option.  Please remember that the process is also time consuming, therefore lead time could be between 3-5 months.

If you are interested in a custom shaped award or trophy please submit the following information to our sales team: award drawing or conceptual description, desired dimensions, units required to produce, deadline for delivery, and per unit budgetary constrains.

Our design specialist will review your request and communicate possible solutions and production estimates as soon as possible.
