How does it work?
We use a state of the art laser engraving machine which gently etches away the top layer of the pen to reveal the base metal underneath.
The colour of engraving depends on the base metal underneath. Lacquered pens tend to engrave with a brass finish, whilst chrome pens with a subtle two tone effect (check preview on every product page). We also offer 3 font choices;
What can I engrave?
We can engrave any letter, number or character that can entered from a standard computer keyboard, in any language. This includes English, Arabic, Hebrew, Greek, Cyrillic etc.
We can engrave UTF8 symbols. Either choose from our list or copy and paste your own.
Each pen has a limit to the amount of characters we can engrave due to its size and curvature. Look out for the character limit on each product page. If you cant quite fit your message with the allowable characters, please call us and we will see what we can do.

Barrel or cap end – see engrave preview on the product page

I bought this ballpoint pen as a anniversary gift for my husband, I had it engraved, when I gave it to my husband he thought it was brilliant, I ordered the ballpoint pen about a fortnight before I wanted the ballpoint pen as I was worried about the time it would take to be delivered, I shouldn’t have worried it came two days later. It was beautifully packed, the engraving was brilliant. My husband thought it was very stylish

I purchased a Cross ballpoint pen and monogrammed leather bound journal as gifts for my wife. She is absolutely delighted with them and began using them on Christmas Day. She has been keeping journals since before we were married almost 50 years ago. She tells me that the pen writes very smoothly and is comfortable to hold in her small hand. She says that she really likes them and began quality of the paper in the journal and the softness of the leather binding. This has proved to be one of the best gifts I have ever bought for her and I highly recommend the company for the quality of the products and the excellent service they have provided.
