We start with a short conversation about the piece, the message, and the tone you want it to carry. You select a script style that suits the item and the person receiving it. We prepare the layout, check spacing, and set the depth to fit the metal. Every piece passes a final review for legibility, alignment, and finish before we return it to you.
