Proofs are used when a custom layout, logo, or engraving request needs review before production. Not every order requires a proof, but proofs may be used when CRC Engraving or the customer requests one.
What a proof is
A proof is a layout preview or design confirmation. It helps confirm spelling, placement, general sizing, and overall direction before engraving.
Customer responsibility
Customers are responsible for reviewing names, spelling, dates, phone numbers, logos, layout notes, and other details before approving a proof. Once a proof is approved, production may begin.
Appearance may vary
A proof is a guide. Final engraving appearance may vary based on material, coating, finish, product shape, engraving area, artwork quality, and lighting.
Changes after approval
Changes requested after proof approval may not be possible once production starts. If a change is possible, additional cost or delay may apply.
Delayed proof approval
Orders that require proof approval may be delayed until the proof is reviewed and approved. Rush or event-date orders should be discussed before ordering.
