How are the pens engraved?

Learn:  Why engraving shows up different colors on pens

All personal names are engraved by one of 2 types of laser engraving machines.  We do not stamp or print the names on pens, we engrave them by laser (The exception being for business logos.  For logos, on some pens, we do offer imprinting in color.  But not for personal names).

6. What will the engraving look like?
Good question. In general on bare metals, like the silver, chrome, and gold finishes  the laser engraving will appear a "tone on tone". All pens are laser engraved, and no ink is used.  Your engraving will be very durable. 

The decoration appears in the color that the results from the laser interacting with the metal and this can vary from pen to pen.  On a coated metal pen, like a Black barrel, the engraving will generally appears the color of the trim.  Variations of this may be listed on the individual product information. 
 
On pens that are not laser engraved, but that are deep cut engraved, we will use color fill in the engraving. If you need more information, please email us.

Debossing is when the text or logo is pressed into the product using a die. On some products the debossing can be filled in color.

Laser engraving is done by a precision beam of laser light which burns the engraving into or onto the product. It never wears off.
 
Deep cut engraving with color fill:
Available on some of the mid to higher end Cross Brand Pens, this option is when the engraved cuts into the product, and then the engraved cut is hand filled with color for a very classy finish. The pen is then polished for completion. The fill color is determined by the pen type. Fill colors can be requested.
