Engraving Process:

PROOF OF LAYOUT

We will send you a layout with the images and words you requested, and you will have up to 3 chances to suggest changes or approve the layout.  Please keep revisions short.

We will print only after you approve, and we will send another email when your order is complete. If you want to check on your order status, call the engraving shop at 808 484 1415.

PICK UP DATE & RUSH ORDERS

Check our website for rush order availability; it’s the most accurate way. If the option isn’t visible in the timeline field, we’re likely booked. Announcements on the front page will confirm full booking if applicable. We might not always be available for rush orders, so plan accordingly.

Normal Turn around time 7 business days

NEW IMAGES

New images that we don’t have in stock cost $10 each to convert to a file that we can print. Please send high-resolution (clear) or vector images if possible. We have most of the Hawaii military images (all branches), but if the source of your image (your company or unit) is newer, farther away, or lesser known, we may not have it in our files. We will let you know during the proofing process if you will be charged for new images. We reserve the right to refuse and refund any new images.

 Please do not send smartphone photographs of cloth badges or coins to be used as a printed logo. Send images as graphic files only (JPEG, PDG, SVG, PNG)

We can inlay your coin onto your custom item.  Either drop off coins at the engraving shop in Aiea or mail them to the address Makemake Makana LLC, 99 920 Iwaena st, unit 102, Aiea Hi 96701.  Coin inlay are an extra $10 for round coins and $15 to $20 if your coin is larger than 3” in diameter, or an irregular shape (not round)
