More InfoMore Info
How does it work?
We use a state of the art laser engraving machine which gently etches away the top layer of the pen to reveal the base metal underneath.
The colour of engraving depends on the base metal underneath. Lacquered pens tend to engrave with a brass finish, whilst chrome pens with a subtle two tone effect (check preview on every product page). We also offer 3 font choices;
What can I engrave?
We can engrave any letter, number or character that can entered from a standard computer keyboard, in any language. This includes English, Arabic, Hebrew, Greek, Cyrillic etc.
We can engrave UTF8 symbols. Either choose from our list or copy and paste your own.
Each pen has a limit to the amount of characters we can engrave due to its size and curvature. Look out for the character limit on each product page. If you cant quite fit your message with the allowable characters, please call us and we will see what we can do.
Where is my message engraved?
Barrel or cap end – see engrave preview on the product page
How much does engraving cost?
All individual pens cost £7, and pen sets cost £10 (both pens are engraved with the same message)
Will engraving delay my order?
No. Because we engrave in-house, all orders placed before 3pm are despatched the same day.

Brilliant pen and the engraving is amazing with next day delivery.
It's not my first time buying pens from Pen Heaven and will definitely buy more.

Pen Heaven was even better than ordering from Cross Pens directly because: Cross required that only one instrument from a set could be engraved. HOW STUPID! If, as a wonderful grandmother, your newly graduated high school grandson is leaving HS and headed to the university he was accepted to, one would want one instrument engraved for the loved high school being left, and the other instrument to be engraved for the upcoming memories made and the new university! THE PERFECT GIFT IDEA! And, only Pen Heaven allowed me to do this!!! Thank you Pen Heaven!!
