A custom-engraved plaque can make a wonderful gift to commemorate any occasion. It’s a very personal way to recognize years of service, an important achievement in career, a baptism, birth, or a wedding. No matter what the occasion may be, plaques are permanent, so it’s important to get the design right. Here are some professional tips for designing and engraving Plaques in Oahu.
The very first tip is to have all the important information on the plaque. For the birth of a child, be sure have the date, time, weight, and full name of the baby. It might also be nice to include the parents’ names on the plaque. For years of service, be sure to have the correct number of years and company name. The most important thing to remember is always triple check the correct spelling of everything. Once the plaque is engraved, there is no way to correct any mistakes.
After all the information has been triple checked, the next step is designing the plaque. The whole point of the plaque is to recognize and commemorate an event. When designing the plaque, be sure the font is easy to read. While the fancy cursive fonts look very impressive and elegant, they are hard to read on a plaque, unless the plaque is large. A good rule to follow is, as the plaque gets smaller, the font should become more basic.
Before submitting any work to be engraved, it would be a good idea to set up an appointment or consultation with the engraving company. This is a time when the designer working on the engraving can make suggestions for an appropriate font and ideas for what to have on the plaque. Sometimes, the company will also have a library of images that can be used as well. Depending on the complexity or the artwork or the size of art, the company may need to charge extra fees, but that can be discussed during the initial consultation.
