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.

Purchased to go with the LAMY AL-star fountain pen. Runs smoothly with no clumping. Like the fountain pen, lovely to hold with a strong clip.

Very nice pen that sits right in my hand. Good weight and quality clip that won’t break off.

An excellent everyday pen. Its deep red/purple colour is very attractive and particularly suitable for the engraving, which also first rate.
