Setup Fee

For every laser engraving job, we charge a setup fee of $20. This fee covers the initial preparation and configuration required to engrave your desired design onto the chosen metal surface. It ensures that our state-of-the-art technology is properly calibrated to deliver precise and high-quality engravings.

Per-Minute Charge

In addition to the setup fee, we charge $1 per minute of laser engraving time. This charge accounts for the actual time it takes for the laser to etch your design onto the metal surface. The per-minute charge is calculated based on the complexity and size of the design, as well as the type of metal being engraved.

It’s important to note that the per-minute charge includes the time required for setup, alignment, and any necessary adjustments to ensure the best possible engraving outcome. Our skilled technicians meticulously monitor the process to guarantee precision and accuracy.

Example Calculation

Let’s illustrate the cost calculation with an example. Suppose you want to engrave a design on a stainless steel pen that takes 10 minutes of laser engraving time. Here’s how the cost would be calculated:

Setup Fee: $20

Per-Minute Charge: $1 x 10 minutes = $10

Total Cost: Setup Fee + Per-Minute Charge = $20 + $10 = $30

Please keep in mind that the example above is for illustrative purposes only. The actual cost may vary depending on the specific requirements of your engraving job.

At our store, we strive to provide competitive pricing while maintaining the highest standards of quality. Our laser engraving services are ideal for a wide range of applications, including industrial components, promotional products, pens, jewelry, and silverware.
