Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about ordering, photo quality, engraving, and shipping

Ordering

How do I place an order?

Choose the plaque edition you prefer, upload your photo, and complete checkout.

Once your order is placed, every image is reviewed before engraving to ensure the best possible result.

Do I need to use the advanced designer tool?

No. The standard ordering process is the easiest and recommended option for most customers.

Simply upload your photo and we will professionally prepare the engraving layout.

If you prefer full control over the design, you can optionally use our advanced design studio.

Can I order more than one plaque at a time?

Yes. You can add multiple plaques to your cart and place a single order.

Each plaque will be engraved individually using the photo you upload for that product.

What happens after I place my order?

After your order is received, your photo is carefully reviewed to ensure it will produce a good engraving result.

Your plaque is then engraved, prepared, and shipped once production is complete.

Photo & Image Quality

What kind of photo works best for engraving?

Photos with good lighting, clear detail, and strong contrast tend to produce the best engraving results. Most photos taken with modern smartphones work perfectly.

Do I need a high-resolution image?

Higher resolution images generally produce better engraving results, but most standard phone photos are more than sufficient.

What if my photo is not suitable for engraving?

Every photo is reviewed before engraving. If your image is not suitable or needs adjustment, we will contact you before proceeding.

Can I upload color photos?

Yes. Both color and black-and-white photos work well. The engraving process translates the image into detailed shading within the wood.

Your plaque is then engraved, prepared, and shipped once production is complete.

Can you improve or adjust my photo?

Yes. Minor adjustments such as brightness, contrast, and overall image preparation may be made when needed to help achieve the best engraving result.

Customization

Can I add a message to my plaque?

Yes. During the ordering process you can add a personal engraved message on the back of your plaque.

This is a popular option for anniversaries, memorials, family dedications, or meaningful quotes.

What kind of messages do people usually engrave?

Customers often engrave special dates, memorial messages, anniversaries, family dedications, or meaningful quotes.

A short message can make the plaque even more personal and meaningful.

Can I design the plaque layout myself?

Yes. In addition to the standard ordering process, we offer an advanced design tool that allows you to position your image and customize the layout.

Most customers use the standard ordering process, but the advanced designer is available if you would like full control over the design.

Can I add more than one photo to a plaque?

The standard ordering process is designed for a single photo per plaque.

However, the advanced design tool allows you to create more customized layouts if you would like to combine multiple images.

Product Details

Are the plaques engraved or printed?

All plaques are permanently laser engraved into the wood, not printed.

The engraving process burns the image directly into the surface of the wood, creating a detailed and permanent design.

What materials are the plaques made from?

Our plaques are crafted from high-quality wood and engraved using precision laser technology to produce detailed and long-lasting images.

Will the engraving fade over time?

No. Because the image is engraved directly into the wood, the design is permanent and will not fade like printed images.

Do the plaques come ready to display?

Yes. Each plaque edition is designed for display, whether it is wall mounted, framed, or includes a display stand depending on the edition you choose.

Is every plaque made to order?

Yes. Each plaque is individually engraved after you place your order, making every piece unique.

Shipping & Policies

How long does it take to make my plaque?

Each plaque is custom engraved to order. Production typically takes a few business days before shipping.

Do you offer free shipping?

Yes. We offer free shipping within the United States.

Can I change my order after placing it?

If you need to make a change to your order, please contact us as soon as possible and we will do our best to assist before production begins.

Do you accept returns?

Because each plaque is custom engraved, returns are generally not accepted unless there is a defect or issue with the order.

Do you review every photo before engraving?

Yes. Every image is carefully reviewed before engraving to ensure it will produce the best possible result.
