Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How does the Engraving Work?

Using state-of-the-art laser engraving machines, we carefully etch away the pen’s top layer to reveal the metal beneath, creating a clean, detailed, and permanent engraving that enhances the pen’s natural beauty. The colour of the engraving depends on the material of the pen; lacquered pens typically reveal a warm gold tone, as they are layered over brass, while silver or aluminium pens produce a sleek white engraving, and stainless steel pens result in a refined dark grey finish. Each pen has a character limit determined by its size and curvature, but our smart personalisation preview makes it easy to see exactly how your engraving will appear before ordering. You can choose from four elegant fonts: Calibri, Roman, Italic, and Allura, offering a variety of styles to suit every taste. Every engraving is completed in-house by our skilled team, ensuring consistency, quality, and craftsmanship in every detail.

What can I engrave?

We can engrave any letter, number, or character that can be entered from a standard computer keyboard, in any language. Our machines also support UTF-8 symbols, allowing you to include special characters or icons, simply choose from our list or copy and paste your own. Our team is always happy to help. If you have any special requests, such as engraving for a left-handed user or needing a few extra characters on your pen, we’re just a phone call away and ready to assist you. Contact us here.

How much does engraving cost?

We offer competitive pricing for our engraving service, the cost for engraving a single pen is £7.00. When purchasing a pen set, the engraving cost is £10.00 for both pens. By default, both pens in a set will be engraved with the same message, but if you’d like a different engraving on each, simply give us a call and we’ll be happy to discuss the options.

Where is my message engraved?

Your personal message will be engraved on either the barrel or the cap, depending on the pen’s design. Some pens feature distinctive patterns or textures on the cap or body, which may limit the engraving area. In these cases, the pen includes a dedicated engraving window, ensuring your message is beautifully positioned and perfectly finished.

Can you engrave on both sides of the pen?

Yes, we can engrave on both sides of the pen upon request. If you would like additional engraving, please contact us before placing your order, ideally by email or phone, so our team can confirm that your chosen pen is suitable for double-sided engraving.

Can I see preview before engraving?

Yes. As you enter your message, you’ll see a live preview showing how your engraving will appear on the selected pen. This includes an approximate representation of the size, colour, and placement of your text, giving you a clear idea of the final result. Please note that the preview is for guidance only, as slight variations may occur during the engraving process due to the pen’s individual shape and finish.

How long does engraving take?

We take pride in offering an exceptionally fast engraving service. Orders placed before 3pm (Monday to Friday) are typically engraved and dispatched the very same day, even for multiple pen orders. As long as your order is received before our cut-off time, your personalised pens will be swiftly processed without any delay.

Can I return or exchange an engraved item?

As each engraved pen is customised to your personal specification, it cannot be returned or exchanged unless there is a fault or error with the product or engraving. We take great care to ensure every engraving is completed to the highest standard, and your preview helps ensure everything appears exactly as intended. To avoid disappointment, we strongly recommend that you check all spelling, punctuation, and presentation options carefully before confirming your order.

Do you provide a corporate logo engraving service?

Yes, we do and it’s one of our specialties. Our team has extensive experience in precision logo engraving, helping brands and businesses create a lasting impression through beautifully detailed, professional results. Before production, we provide a visual mock-up so you can see exactly how your logo will appear on the pen, ensuring complete satisfaction with the final design. For bespoke logo engraving, please contact us at support@penheaven.co.uk or call 0208 731 8610 to discuss your project with our team. Due to the bespoke nature of this service, a minimum order quantity applies.
