Artwork & Photo Requirements

  1. Photo engraving products require you to submit your photo digital image files or send us your paper photo by postal mail so we can scan it for you. Please make sure do not send us one-of-a-kind types of photos because they might get lost or damaged during the transit by the shipping carriers. Your original paper photos will be shipped back to you along with the engraved product.

  2. For certain products, you have the option of engraving your own logos, for which you need to submit your artwork via the Upload Center page. If possible, please submit black and white logo image for laser engraving. You can submit color logo file but it may not work well when it is converted to black and white or gray scale. This is especially so when there are overlapping image components in your logo. We will communicate with you if in case it does not work. 

  3. All the artwork and photo images shall be sent to us via the Upload Center page. For questions, you can always contact us at artwork@memorablegiftstore.com. The maximum size for each upload file is 5MB. For larger files, you have to upload them in zipped format. One popular software is WinZip, which is available on CNET's tech site http://www.download.com/ where you can download to try then buy if you do not have it yet. Search for "WinZip".

  4. For customer-provided logo artwork, the ideal image format is vector image (.eps, .ai, .cdr etc) so the size can be changed without compromising the quality of the image. The logo artwork could be submitted in bitmap format but it must be at least 300 DPI (Dot Per Inch) and the size of the image must be same or larger than the expected actual size engraved on the final product. See below for more complete list of file formats. Please also refer to FAQ for examples of the requirements.

  5. You may also send us a "camera ready" artwork. Camera ready artwork must be a clean black & white image on a slick or paper. Business cards or letterheads could also be accepted. The same rule of thumb applies, that is, the logo size on the paper shall be equal to or larger than the size of the logo to be engraved on the final product. Otherwise, it requires a bitmap-to-vector conversion process for the logo to be scalable. There will be additional charge for the conversion, $50/hour with 1 hour minimum. Please contact us to discuss your case. We will do our best to work with you on your logo artwork. But please be advised that not every artwork submitted would turn out to be good for engraving. 

  6. Photo images may be submitted in bitmap formats, JPEG being the most popular format.  See the list below for more supported formats. Please be advised that some photo images you submit might not be suitable for engraving even you have placed your order.  MemorableGiftStore.com reserves the right to refuse accepting certain photo images based on our professional judgment. You may be requested to resubmit the photo with acceptable quality.

  7. Photograph images are measured by resolution in pixels (i.e. dots) in length and width. For example, the photos taken by using higher megapixel (MP) such as 3 MP or more digital cameras are typically 2028 pixels x 1536 pixels (2028 x 1536 = 3.1 MP). The size of a quality print or engraving size is depending on the another resolution measure, DPI (dots per inch). For quality prints or engraving, at least 300 DPI is required. When the photo images are downloaded from cameras, they are usually saved as 72 DPI. The image size is about 28" x 21". Our graphic may be able to resample for image for higher resolution. The basic rule of thumb is that a 2028 pixels x 1536 pixels photo image can be printed as 6-3/4" x 5-1/8" quality photo with 300 DPI. That is about the size for a quality engraving as well. Therefore, if the product you choose requires larger photo engraving, higher resolution photo images may be required.

  8. Photo engraving is a sophisticated process that is same as that for any piece of artwork. MemorableGiftStore.com reserves the right to use our professional judgment, knowledge and experience to do whatever necessary to engrave the photo onto the final products, which include, but not limited to, the following: changes in sizes and shapes, cropping, necessary touches and editing.

  9. Although we support the following formats, in most cases we see our customers use  .JPG, .JPEG, .GIF, .BMP, .EPS and .WMF formats, which we recommend you to use. We also specialize in processing any Corel formats that we also recommend you to consider. Any other formats might require significant amount time to be added to processing your orders that would delay your order shipments.

Shipping

MemorableGiftStore.com uses UPS as the shipping carrier. Our shipping rates are shown in the tables below. Please note that the time estimates mentioned in the tables are the shipping time in transit. They do not include production turnaround time for personalized products. A typical order would be ready for shipping in 2 to 3 business days if the information you provided in your order is complete. Larger orders might take up to 7 business days or more to be ready for shipping. Orders that involve photos or customer-provided logos may require extra time depending upon the quality of the artwork submitted. After your order is placed, we will communicate promptly with you via emails about the estimated shipping date and will inform you when your order is shipped and the tracking number will be provided. If your order cannot be shipped within the normal processing time, we will notify you immediately.

Please be advised, UPS defines the transit time to to be the day after the pick-up day. That is, when a package is picked up by UPS, one extra business day should be added to the total shipping time. For example, if a package is picked up on Monday for 2nd Day Air, the delivery time will be on Wednesday (3rd business day from pick-up day); a 5 business day ground shipping package picked up on Monday will be delivered on the next Monday (the 6th business day).

Delivery Time = Production Time + 1 Day UPS Pick-up + UPS Transit Time
(Note: All in business days, Monday to Friday excluding Holidays.)


Shipping Fee

The ship charge is based the weight of the item and shipping method (UPS Ground, UPS 2nd Day Air or UPS Next Day Air), calculated in real time after you have entered your shipping information during the checkout.

The minimum weight is one pound. You can estimate the shipping cost by adding up the weight of each item (as seen in the product description field) and rounding up to next higher whole pound. Follow the UPS Cost Calculator.

Please enter Ship From: City = San Jose, ZIP code = 95119. Ship To: your city and your zip code. Packing box size you can use 10"x10"x10".

Business Days in Transit for Ground Shipping Method

The map and the estimates are provided by UPS. Please note that for the total delivery time estimates, you need to add the time for productions that takes from 2 to 3 business days for small orders and up to 7 business days for larger orders. Please add one extra business day to the transit time for UPS pick-up and processing. UPS does not consider the pick-up and processing day to be part of the transit time. For example, if a package is picked up on Monday, for a 5 business day shipping, the delivery will be on the next Monday (the 6th business day).

  

Delivery Time = Production Time + 1 Day UPS Pick-up + UPS Transit Time
(Note: UPS Transit Time are the days shown in the above chart. All in business days, Monday to Friday excluding Holidays.)
