Let's get to work. Here's how.
Choose the best location for engraving.
Check out your glove and look for relatively large and flat areas of genuine leather* free of laces, holes, and stitching. These areas will be best for engraving. Most of the engraving for our players is done in one of these four common locations:
-
Outside Thumb
-
Inside Pinky (location is very limited)
-
Back of Hand
-
Outside fingers
Keep in mind, the more room we have, the bigger we can make your design. If the area is too small, the characters may end up small and hard to read.
For words and letters, generally at least 1.5 cm for height is ideal, and about 1 cm of width per character is best. If you're unsure if you have enough room, contact us or send us an email with a photo of your glove and we'll be able to help.
*Laser engraving works best on genuine leather. Engraving on "SuperSkin" and other synthetic materials is not recommended.
Choose an alternative location for engraving.
Every glove is different. Sometimes the four common locations aren't suitable. That's okay! Find another area that is relatively flat and large enough, and chances are we can make it work. If you're unsure, contact us.
Please keep in mind that the area for engraving needs to be free of laces, holes, and stitching. If your glove is predominantly "SuperSkin" or another synthetic leather, we recommend finding an area of genuine leather for engraving. Although it is possible to laser-engrave SuperSkin, we get mixed results so we don't recommend it. SuperSkin also will not work with our color-fill process. Please don't hesitate to contact us with questions.
What are we engraving?
Name, initials, number, phrase, symbol...
It's up to you.
How many areas do you want?
The standard engraving product option is for one single area (either Premium Color, or Standard). Our process requires a new computer design and laser setup each time we have to move the glove or laser, so we charge accordingly. Two areas means double the work and time. See the example picture for an explanation of what constitutes an area of engraving.
When you add more areas on the same glove, you save more!
Buy 2 areas, SAVE 15%
Buy 3 areas, SAVE 25%
Buy 4 or more areas, SAVE 35%
Most people add 2-3 areas to their glove (i.e. a name, bible verse etc., and perhaps a logo). Add as many areas of engraving as you want and add each as a separate product to your cart. You'll enter the specifics for each area separately. As an example for clarity, if you want 3 areas of engraving you'll have 3 products in your cart.
Pick a font.
We offer eight font choices. Each font has been tested and engraves well on leather. You can pick any of the following:
-
Arial
-
Bradley Hand
-
Brush Script
-
Chalkboard
-
Papyrus
-
Palatino
-
Sign Painter
-
Times New Roman
The example pictures represent the same characters engraved on the same leather in each of the respective fonts, with no color-fill process.
If you wish to have a special logo or symbol engraved on your glove, you can email the file to us after you place your order. Be sure to include your name and order number in the subject line of the email. If you have questions, please feel free to contact us.
Standard Colors
Metallic Colors
Neon Colors
Pick a color...
or leave plain.
We offer two choices for our laser glove engraving process- PREMIUM with color-fill, or STANDARD no color-fill.
If you want your engraving to "pop", we offer 25 options for our proprietary color-fill and sealing process. You can pick one color for each separate area of engraving. Keep in mind that you must select the "first area" product at a minimum before you add additional areas.
The engraving process without color-fill will appear dark brown to black, and more natural depending on the type and color of the leather. This may be suitable for light color gloves, but will be muted and may not "pop" on dark color gloves.
