Personalize Your Gift

Gifts for Professionals is pleased to offer a variety of imprinting services for our products.   Our gifts can be imprinting with corporate logos, company names, individual names, monograms, etc.  Once you've picked out an item, contact customer service to inquire about any applicable setup charges for company logos.   Some of our items require a minimum purchase before imprinting/personalization, while some do not.

Many of our customers inquire about rush orders.   Rush orders that involve imprinting and engraving are possible on select products.  After checking product stock levels and receiving an estimate on production time, you should place your order immediately, as estimated production times change each day with new incoming orders.  Once your order is placed, you are locked-in to receive our order by the estimated date.   

Imprinting Terms

Debossing - Depression of an image (such as initials, name, or logo) into a material such as paper, leather or suede, so the image sits below the product surface.

Engraving - Cutting an image into metal, wood or glass by one of three methods; computerized engraving, hand tracing or hand engraving.

Etching - Imprinting method in which the product to be imaged is coated with a protective coating that resists acid. The image is then exposed, leaving bare metal and protected metal. The acid attacks only the exposed metal, leaving the image etched onto the surface.

Foil Stamping - Process in which a metal plate or die is heated and then pressed against foil into a surface, causing the pigments of the foil to transfer to the surface. Also called hot-stamping.

Laser Engraving - Imprinting method by which art or lettering is cut into a material by a laser beam that vaporizes the portion exposed through openings in a template.

Paper proof - Impression of type or artwork on paper so the correctness and quality of the material to be printed can be checked. The least expensive is a regular black and white faxed paper proof. The most expensive is an actual physical preproduction sample of the product itself.
