Normal production is 7–15 working days from approval of final art. For large orders or orders requiring special services, more time must be allowed.
Orders with short lead times may incur rush charges of 10% to 50% of the total order amount. Before placing a rush order, contact a National Engravers representative about product availability and fees.

Right to Promotion
National Engravers, Inc. reserves the right to photograph or display any award or logo that we engrave unless specified in a signed letter from the client. The following notice will appear with photographs or displays: Logos and names are for display only and do not imply endorsement.
Artwork
Email artwork to design@awardingyou.com. For files larger than 1MB, we recommend compressing the file. Our art department will determine if your submission is "camera ready."
The preferred format for art is a 100% black and white illustration saved as an .eps. Text must be converted to curves. DO NOT SEND WEB GRAPHICS OR LOW-RESOLUTION SCANS. A 600 dpi scan, output as a "black and white drawing" (not "photograph"), is acceptable. Colors and shades of gray are not engravable.
Art that does not meet specifications may require editing and delay production. Art editing services are $60 per hour, with a $30 minimum. You will be notified in advance if services are needed.
Indemnification
When you submit art and/or text to National Engravers, Inc., you assume full legal responsibility for compliance related to copy reproduction authorization. You agree to hold National Engravers, Inc. harmless of any damage or expense that may arise as a result of reproductions done on your behalf.
Proofs
Proofs will be faxed or emailed at no charge before production begins. Allow 1 working day from order acceptance for rush and program order proofs; allow 3 working days for standard order proofs. Same-day approval is urged to avoid production delays.
Other
Cristalique and Optique awards are handcrafted and may vary slightly from photographs and descriptions. Due to changes in market value and materials, prices and specifications are subject to change without notice.
