01 · FAQ

Materials and techniques

What materials do you engrave?
Standard: aluminium (also anodised), stainless steel, carbon steel, brass, titanium, copper, powder coating. Hard plastics — selectively. Wood and leather — yes, but not our main profile.
What's the difference between a fibre laser and CO₂?
Fibre laser (1064 nm) works on metal and some plastics — burns the mark into the material. CO₂ (10600 nm) cuts paper, wood, acrylic, but doesn't mark metal without coating. We work with fibre.
Will a fibre laser damage thin material?
No, if we set the correct parameters. Thin sheet metal (from 0.3 mm) and anodising we mark gently — without thermal deformation.

Files and artwork

What files do you accept?
PDF (fonts converted to curves), SVG, AI, EPS, DXF. Rasters (JPG, PNG) — clean only, > 600 DPI, no compression.
I only have a logo from Facebook. Is that OK?
Yes, but we'll redraw the vector from the raster. Small quote surcharge. You'll also receive a vector file for future use.
Will you design the artwork for me?
Yes. Short projects (text, monogram) — included in price. Larger ones (nameplate layout) — quoted surcharge.

What are the lead times?
1–10 pcs. → 2–3 days, 10–100 → 3–5 days, larger batches — we quote. Express (24 h) — 50% surcharge.
Shipping or collection?
Both. Personal collection in Warsaw — free. Courier (DPD/InPost) — from 15 PLN, PL and EU.
Can I supply my own material?
Yes (BYO). Bring or send it. We require inspection, sometimes a sample.

Payments and invoicing

Payment methods?
BLIK, card, transfer. For B2B — 14-day term after invoice delivery. Regular clients — 21–30 day term.
VAT invoice?
Yes, standard. Issued the same day. Pass your NIP/VAT number with the order.
Do you require deposits?
Orders > 1500 PLN and BYO — 30% deposit. Regular clients — no deposit.
05 · FAQ

BYO — your own items

Can I bring my own item for engraving?
Yes. We most often engrave bottles, knives, cases, pens, keepsakes. We inspect the material, do a test if there's risk.
What if the item is valuable / sentimental?
We do a sample on identical material (where possible) or in a discreet spot on the item. After approval — full run. Risk is on our side.
Do you engrave rings?
Inside — yes, standard. Outside of thin rings (under 2 mm) — we require consultation.

Nameplates and CE

Will you help with the CE nameplate layout?
Yes. We have templates for the main Directives (Machinery, LVD, EMC, ATEX). We'll advise what data is required.
Serial numbers from a CSV list?
Standard. Sequential SN, DataMatrix, QR — from your list or generated.
How do you attach nameplates?
Standard: double-sided 3M VHB tape (clean surface). Harsh conditions — holes for blind rivets or M3/M4 screws.
