Production, rush & design fees
Turnaround, rush pricing, mock-ups and how design fees are quoted.
Standard production
Turnaround depends on the product, personalization type and any design proof required. Typical ranges:
- In-stock engraved items with simple text — often within 1–3 business days.
- Photo-based products — depend on file quality and proof review.
- Bulk or corporate orders — timelines are quoted per project.
Same-day & rush orders
Same-day is possible on qualifying in-stock items when the design is straightforward and doesn't require a proof round. Standard lead time for rush is 3–4 hours from order confirmation.
Exceptions and quicker turnarounds are possible — please contact us before ordering. Rush orders are billed at $20 per item on top of the product price.
Mock-ups & edits
- A design mock-up is sent by email before we begin production.
- One edit is included. Additional edits may add a design charge, unless the change corrects a mistake on our side.
- Repeated design revisions on the same item will incur additional design fees.
Design fees
Most personalized orders don't require a design fee — the on-product personalization form covers standard text, initials, symbols, photos and logos. A design fee applies when custom artwork or extra design work is needed. Fees start at $25 and are quoted based on complexity, quantity and turnaround.
Design fees typically apply when:
- Custom artwork or vectorization of a supplied logo is required.
- Each unit in a bulk order needs a different design or layout (for example, trophies with different names or awards).
- More than one round of edits is requested, or edits are recurring.
- New design work is created from scratch (concepts, layout, typography treatments).
- Supplied files require significant clean-up, re-drawing or colour separation to print/engrave cleanly.
- Rush design work is requested outside standard hours.
For bulk orders with per-item variation (e.g., trophies), we typically quote either a base design fee of $25 plus a small per-item charge, or a flat design fee for the whole order — whichever suits the project. The exact structure is confirmed at quoting.
