We use leading edge laser engraving technology to create our distinctive and beautiful patterns on our police batons and plaques. We would be glad to personalize a set for you.
We will need to receive camera ready art from you in order to proceed with an order that calls for engraving a logo or other artwork.
We prefer CorelDraw or Adobe Illustrator application files for PC, not Macintosh. We accept quality camera-ready art for engraving a logo or other art, but prefer to work with digital files, either e-mailed or sent on PC floppy, PC Zip disk, or PC-formatted CD-R. All files linked to the art must be on the disk.
We will try working with high resolution JPEG files, or any other type of file, except low resolution web specific art. Camera-ready art must be black and white reflective line art, without a halftone screen, or color printing. Original 1200 DPI laser prints, at 200% of actual size, on high quality paper is prefered.
The bigger and better the artwork, the sharper the laser engraving. We cannot make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear!
The illustration below shows the three areas of engraving for our police batons and plaques.

 


 

plaque sample

 
If you are ordering the plaque, (pictured above) the price includes a row of text above the baton (Area A), two to four rows of text below the baton (Area B) and the same logo as engraved on the baton, if desired.
We will select the font best suited for the inscription. In general, the fewer the words the larger the engraving, making it easier to read when mounted. When ordering a baton please have your text ready before calling, referring to the two areas, A and B, from the sample above.
E-mail your artwork in PC format to oldemaster@aol.com, fax 502-241-7045, or e-mail the specific text that you would like engraved on your baton and plaque.
