The Logo Engraving Process

By Samantha Di Nardo

Logo engraving at Dayspring Pens offers the ability to put your company’s logo or brand design on any of our luxury pens. 

Here is the step-by-step process once you have selected the pen you would like to engrave: 

  1. Select the Logo option under Engraving Type

  2. Select Right or Left Handed under Writing Type (standard is right handed unless you are ordering for left handed writers)

  3. Upload your logo file. Vector files will give the best results. These end in .svg, .eps, or .ai. 

  4. Select any additional order preferences such as Gift Note, Gift Wrapping, Rush Production, or Additional Refills.

  5. Add to Cart and Complete the Check Out Process.

After the order has been placed, our art department will create a proof for your approval.

The order will not go into production until approval is given on the final proof. 

Proofs are free by request for corporate orders for the initial proof and 2 revisions.

How much does it cost for a logo engraving?

Logo engravings are a one time fee of $25 per logo file.

Once a logo is on file with Dayspring Pens, the $25 fee will be waived for any subsequent orders with the same logo.

Can I get a logo engraving and engrave individual names or a text engraving?

Certainly! If the engraving is the same text (ie: a logo followed by 25 Years of Service), there is no additional cost for the text.

If the engraving is a logo along with dynamic text (individual names or different titles on each pen), there is an additional fee of $2.99 per pen.

Can I engrave the pen on both sides?

Yes! This will come with an additional fee of $2.99 per pen. 

Some pens do not allow for two sided engraving due to decorative embellishments on the barrel or pen mechanism. If you have any questions on whether a pen can be engraved on both sides, please do not hesitate to send a message. 

Can multiple colors be engraved?  

At this time, only single engraving colors are available. 

The color of the engraving will be a subtle tone-on-tone light brass for any metal finished pens such as the Abingdon Chrome Ballpoint or the Cross Classic Century.

For pens with a lacquered finish, the engraving will match the trim of the pen (ie: gold for a Parker IM Black Gold Rollerball or silver for the Cross Coventry Blue Ballpoint).

Lacquered pens may allow for a different engraving color. Cost and more information available upon request. 

Why do I need a Vector File?

Vector files are image files that place every part of the graphic on a grid. This means that they can be resized without losing resolution. 

Since we are resizing your logo in order to scale it onto the parameters of the pen, vector files are crucial to keeping your logo or graphic pristine through the engraving processes.

Any defects in the scaling will be engraved on the pen if the image file cannot adapt to resizing.

Do you offer samples?

We do not send samples as all Dayspring Pens collections are luxury items. 

If you are interested in seeing a pen in person, you can purchase the pen with no engraving.

After you have sampled the pen, you can return the pen for a refund.
