Personalizing an urn with an engraving
Engraving allows you to have an urn personalized. All of the urns in our collection can be engraved. Depending on the urn you choose, an engraving can be placed on top of the urn (in the lid), at the bottom of the urn or in both places. The name, a date, a symbol, but also a personal text is possible, and that in various styles and fonts.
The technique
Engraving is the application of (erasable) figures and letters with a laser machine in hard materials such as ceramics.
An urn with personalized text
To make your urn even more personal, Artemis offers the option of laser engraving on the bottom (all urns) or in the lid (note: this is only possible with engobe urns). Please allow for an additional delivery time of approximately 5 business days.
Engraving your urn is as follows:
- You provide us through the online form of the option "Personalize" the name, date(s) and/or a brief description of exactly what you want.
- You add this option to your order (by pressing "Add to Cart").
- We will then create a design based on your requirements, which we will email to you within 2 business days.
- After that, it is always possible to modify the design further. Only when everything is to your liking will the laser engraving be performed according to the design.
- Within 7 business days, your personalized urn will be delivered to your home.
Choice of font
All the urns we offer allow for excellent engraving due to their proper shape and good quality. In general, our urns look timeless and soothing. Nevertheless, you can add extra atmosphere & personality to the object by the choice of font.
When designing, we suggest some fonts of our own. But you can also choose a font yourself. For the choice of this we would like to refer to Google Fonts. All fonts from this library we can use for the design of your engraving. There is always a suitable font to be found for the design you have in mind.
Tip. For small urns or when engraving the lid, choose a clearly legible font.
Your own drawing or handwritten text
If you want to have a drawing or handwritten text engraved, we have some helpful tips for you.
Engraving is done on the basis of vectors. We therefore achieve the best results for engraving a drawing if you can provide us with a vector file.
Use preferentially for this:
- A line-vectorized (black and white) .eps file
- An .ai or .pdf file
If you do not have the above files, then there is no need to panic. Take a clear sharp photo with your phone and add it to your order. Preferably in the original format.
You may also feel free to email us the drawing or handwritten text you have and we will see - with no obligation - if we can use it for your engraving.
