How live laser engraving works, start to finish

From your first message to the last guest walking away with a keepsake: the steps, the setup and what we need from you.

Guests gathered around a live laser engraving station at an event

Step 1: Send an inquiry

Pick your date, guest count and hours in the Events tab and you see a live estimate before you send anything. Then send the inquiry with your venue. We confirm details and price with you directly.

Step 2: Invoice, agreement and deposit

After the details and price are confirmed, you receive an invoice and a service agreement. A 50% deposit holds your date. The remaining 50% is due on the day of the event.

Step 3: Your logo and design

Standard live engraving is names, dates or initials, within a 5 x 5 inch maximum design size. A logo or custom artwork is an add-on that is arranged and paid for ahead of time, with details finalized at least 2 weeks before the event. We engrave in English, Arabic, Japanese, Chinese and Spanish. Hindi and Urdu are special requests that you arrange with the laser artist, and the in-app preview cannot show non-English text.

At live events, guests see a visual rendering of their design on the kiosk before it is engraved.

Step 4: Event day

We are 100% mobile. We bring the engraving station to your venue and handle setup and teardown. Every event gets one laser artist and one laser artist helper unless we feel more are needed.

Guests choose an item, see a visual rendering of their design, and watch the laser engrave it. We plan on roughly 15 to 25 guests per hour. Engraving time varies by design, material and size, so we do not promise a time per piece.

The kiosk

The digital order kiosk helps with queue and flow control. It is included in the Full event and Trade show day packages and available as an add-on for any event: $150 up to 3 hours, $250 for 4 hours or more. Guests see a visual rendering of their design before it is engraved.

If you bring your own item instead

Not hosting an event? Bring your own item. You preview it in the app, approve a digital proof before engraving, and engraving starts at $30 plus tax. Pickup and delivery are free inside Collin County and $50 outside it.

Questions we get

How far ahead should I book?

Send your date as early as you can. A 50% deposit holds the date once the agreement is signed.

A standard 10 x 10 space and one standard 110V household outlet, with the station within 10 to 12 feet of the outlet.

Is there a digital proof?

Bring-your-own-item orders get a digital proof before engraving, and logos are proofed before the event. At live events, guests see a visual rendering of their design on the kiosk before it is engraved.
