Questions & Answers

Our design service translates your draft or concept into a complete, machine-ready format. This is a one-time cost per unique design and does not apply to additional copies since no further designing is required.

If you can provide a complete vector file that you want cut/engraved as is, no design service is necessary. Otherwise, whether you need us to create something from scratch or you have a partial design that needs tweaking, we're here to help.

To allow for flexible pricing, the cost is based on the estimated time to design your project. We expect most requests to fall within $5 (basic) –⁠ $67.50 (complex), though specific price ranges vary by product type. Placard designs generally range $5 –⁠ $45. The price for your specific project is determined when you request a quote.

Vector graphics are computer graphics composed of geometric shapes which can be scaled to any size. This is opposed to raster graphics, which are made of pixels and can't be scaled up without losing clarity.

Here is a list of example file types:

Tip: Some file types (e.g., PDF) can contain either graphic type. One way to tell the difference between a vector and a raster is to zoom in on the graphic. If it remains sharp, it's likely a vector; if it becomes pixelated/blurry, it's likely a raster.

There are many software programs or online tools capable of creating/exporting vector files and converting other file types to vectors. However, if this isn't your thing we can do the designing for you.
