Our lasers and CNC Router can work with any font that runs on a standard computer. However, some things will affect the cost of the job:

• Whether the font is free for commercial use.

• Whether the font contains overlays that need to be removed. The best advice is to stick with the more commonly used fonts.

• Diamond drag or rotary tool engraving is faster and cheaper when specialised single or multi-line fonts are used.

• Year & Name entries on cups by default use a simple sans-serif font (e.g. Helvetica, Gothic, Arial, Swiss).

• The smaller the engraving, the simpler the text should be. For very small text (less than 1.5mm high) use all Capitals.

If you are struggling to select a font, let us know the purpose and intended location and we will make some suggestions.
