BYO Engraving on the Sunshine Coast

Have something special you’d like engraved? Our BYO engraving service is designed for customers who already have an item and want to add a personal message, name, date, initials, logo or keepsake detail.

Because every item is different, the first step is checking whether your piece is suitable for engraving. Flat or gently curved surfaces usually work best, especially on stainless steel bottles, coated drinkware, plaques, tags and similar keepsake items.

For the best results, we look at the material, coating, engraving area, shape and how securely the item can sit in the laser. Some items engrave beautifully, while others may not be suitable due to uneven surfaces, delicate coatings, reflective areas, hidden plating or awkward shapes.

If you’re unsure, send us a clear photo of the item along with what you’d like engraved. We’ll let you know if it looks suitable and recommend the best engraving option before you go ahead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bring in my own item for engraving?

Yes, you can bring in your own suitable item for engraving. Popular BYO items include drink bottles, metal keepsakes, tags, plaques and selected gift items. Each item is checked first to make sure the surface, material and shape are suitable.

What BYO items engrave best?

The best BYO engraving results usually come from items with a flat or gently curved engraving area. Stainless steel, coated bottles, aluminium, brass, timber, acrylic and other keepsakes can engrave well, depending on the finish and shape of the item.

What can't you engrave?

We take great care with every engraving and only accept items we’re confident we can engrave safely and to a high standard. We can’t engrave customer-supplied glassware (unless there are additional test glasses provided), jewellery, watches or urns, as these items can be extremely valuable or irreplaceable and we’re unable to take the risk of accidentally damaging them.

Laser engraving may also produce uneven or unclear results on highly textured or curved surfaces. If you’re unsure whether an item is suitable, send us a photo and we’ll be happy to advise before you order.

How do I know if my item is suitable?

The easiest way is to send us a clear photo of the item, including the area you want engraved. We’ll check the material, shape and engraving space before confirming whether it is suitable. Not every BYO item can be engraved, but we’ll always give honest advice before you place an order.
