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.

Barrel or cap end – see engrave preview on the product page

Purchased for my young Son after passing his ‘pen licence’ at school, he was absolutely delighted with the pen. We also had his named engraved, an added touch with he loved very much.

Nice pen comfortable to hold. Changed the nib for the Z53 much better than the standard nib.

Lamy is lamy. Still the same quality. This green is not actually green but fluo, but it’s still okay :) I can recommend it!

The Al-Star takes the classic Safari design and elevates it with a lightweight anodized aluminum body. It feels more premium in the hand while still retaining the iconic LAMY look: the signature clip, ergonomic triangular grip, and modern, clean lines.
What sets the Al-Star apart is its tactile quality. It’s cool to the touch, more substantial than plastic, and available in a stunning array of colors—including seasonal limited editions that collectors love.
Verdict: Sleek, lightweight, and solidly built. A clear upgrade in materials without losing the Safari’s charm.

The entire process was straightforward and painless! They have a vast selection of pens to choose from, and I appreciated that there were no hidden fees. Additionally, the delivery was incredibly fast.
My only suggestion is that after placing my order, I couldn't double-check the text I wanted engraved, so I had to wait for the delivery to see if it was correct.
Other than that, I absolutely loved the experience!
