Free Mockup

Fill out the form below & we'll show you how your finished product will look.

Once the form is submitted we will get a mockup to you within 24 hours (except on weekends or holidays)

We're looking for files that are black and white with no shades of grey. If you currently don't have this version of your logo, submit what you have and we'll do our best to get it where it needs to be.

Before submitting an AI generated design, read this...

AI Loves Shades of Gray | In order to bring your idea to life, we need a high resolution, black and white file without shades of gray. While some people love shades of gray (fifty of them, we hear), our designs can't use gray.
AI Loves Elaborate Designs | AI often creates elaborate designs, crammed full with super fine detail and small text. This impacts readibility and the overall design clarity when engraved on a small token. Designs shouldn't be crowded and the text shouldn't be tiny.
AI Loves an Oval | AI has trouble making perfectly round designs. They put an irregularly shaped design inside an equally irregularly-shaped token. When we put that inside our perfectly round tokens, it's easy to see the unequal gaps in real life. Please ensure designs are circular if AI-generated.
AI Loves to be Long-Winded | We've received lengthy PDFs with requests that aren't pertinent or possible (five font options and their weights, rounded edges, specified depth of engravings to the tenth of a mm). We just want the design, not a superfluous laundry list of add-ons and extras you probably didn't even consider until AI generated it.

Generate a flat, high-resolution 2D graphic of [INSERT SUBJECT HERE]. Deliver this strictly as a standard image file (PNG), absolutely no PDFs, SVGs, or AI files, and do not include any text spec sheets, dimensions, or laundry lists of requirements—I just want the raw design itself. The image must be purely solid black (#000000) on a purely solid white (#FFFFFF) background. There can be zero shades of grey, zero gradients, zero halftones, and zero shading. Use an exact 1:1 aspect ratio. Do NOT draw any borders, or outlines; the design should float freely. Do not create an elaborate, crowded design with super fine details or thin lines, as this will be scaled down to a small size. All white negative space surrounded by black (reverse engraved areas) must be heavily exaggerated, large, and thick so it does not get lost. If text is included, it cannot be tiny. You must use fonts with adequate spacing (wide kerning) and avoid small, open inner spaces (counters). Do not use highly compressed or excessively thick fonts. Do not render this as a mockup, physical object, or place it on a wood background.

If you want the best quality engraving, read this...

We always advise against a border on both sides of a token because of the movement of the wood which is amplified by the heat from the laser beam and the air that's constantly blowing on one surface of the wood. This accelerated expansion and contraction of the wood makes it impossible for the design to be perfectly centered on both sides. And borders are what make this noticeable. A border on one side is fine; we can always make sure the design is centered to the side with a border when cutting. The slight bit it's off center on the other side won't be noticeable when it lacks a border.
Thin borders should be avoided. Thicker borders are more forgiving to our eyes whereas thin borders highlight imperfections...I don't know why, but it's true.
Images inside pdf files don't trace well at all and we can't do anything with them. They get compressed and become a Rorschach inkblot when traced. You'll need strong perception to see anything when gazing at these traced inkblots. Always just give us the image itself, not a pdf, svg, or ai file with a png or jpg inside it.
Non-engraved areas surrounded on all sides by engraved areas (reverse engraved) should not be thin or small or they will get lost. Reverse engraved areas should be larger and thicker to stand out well.
- Think about all the islands or reverse engravings that exist in text. Inside letters like R, Q, P and D (these are called counters) and the spacing between letters (kerning). Avoid fonts with small counters and kerning, such as very thick &/or compressed fonts. They get muddied as the unengraved "islands" become lost. Below is a super exaggerated example of a font which would not engrave well.
  
  Stick to fonts and designs with adequate spacing & bigger counters (more whitespace) for more clear and legible engravings. The below font does engrave well.
