- Engraving is done using a laser machine but the actual engraving look and feel may vary from product to product because of changes in the surface material or the amount of detail in design depending on engraving size. Some engravings may appear darker, lighter, more or less detailed.

- By default, all engravings are done to only the front of each product unless specified in the product description.  If engraving is desired to be on the back or side please reach out to us at sale@midmolaser.com to discuss your needs. Depending on the need, additional charges may apply. 

- If a specific width and height of the engraving area are required it must be specified by the client in the engraving instruction box otherwise we will resize to best fit the size of the product.

- The area available to engrave is determined by the size of the product.

- Please note that engraving by default will be sized to fit the product size and the smaller the product the harder it will be to see detailed logos or long phrases. Going to small on an image may cause the laser beam to become to large for fine detail and will essentially engrave over areas not meant to be engraved.

- Proof of the engraving before the order is shipped will only be sent if it is specifically requested by the customer. In all other cases, no proof will be emailed.

- It is always recommended to upload an image even if only engraving text as this way you will get the exact font and distribution desired.

- If an image is uploaded the following rules will apply:

• The image will be converted into its black and white version for engraving.
• Photographs in addition may need the background removed so they can be engraved. If the background is desired it needs to be communicated to us.

- When text is entered in the engraving instruction box we will engrave using the following rules:

• If no font is specified in the engraving instruction box the default font the will be used is as follows:
• If the text is all lower case letters or has the first letter uppercase followed by lower case letters, "Sitka" font will be used
• If the text is all upper case "Copperplate Gothic Bold" font will be used.
• The text will be engraved using the exact upper and lower case letters written by the client.
• The text will be engraved using the exact number of lines entered by the client and by default all lines will be centered unless otherwise specified by the client.
• We will automatically resize the engraving to fit the width and height of the product and will be placed to what we feel looks best. If you desire something specific it will need to be communicated to us.
• The text will be engraved using straight lines unless otherwise specified in the engraving instruction box. 

- If both an image and text is uploaded the following rules will apply:

• The image will be engraved and any text will be engraved below the image unless otherwise specified by the client in the engraving instruction text box.

- If the client specifies in the engraving instruction box to edit image and/or text per clients instructions. Our designer will do a design and send it via email for client approval.  Our designer will do simple designs at no extra cost but more complicated designs and editing will have an additional cost that is determined by the amount of time required to do the custom design work.  This charge will be notified to the client before doing any design work.

- It is highly encouraged to simply design and upload your own images to ensure the engraving meets your exact intentions regardless if you are doing a picture or text. If there is an issue with anything placed in the engraving instruction box or uploaded image the client will be contacted via email in order to clarify or rectify and issues prior to the product being engraved.

- All products are completely customized and made to order. Products will ship as soon as they are complete and may take longer to receive than expected. If a product is needed as soon as possible, please purchase "rush my order" to your cart and your products will be placed ahead of those who chose not to place a rushed order. Rush orders are completed before those who did not purchase this option and in the order that they are received.
