The mate you always wanted, engraved with your idea.

We engrave and ship
1 to 2 days after you approve it, your mate is on its way.
Timing starts from your reply: if you take longer to answer or approve, everything moves back by those days. How long it takes to arrive depends on your shipping address.
What we engrave
Your idea, engraved on the rim
We laser-engrave on the virola, the smooth rim at the top of the mate: names, initials, dates, phrases, team crests, laurels and more.
How much text fits depends on the phrase and the font you choose.
Crest engraved on the rim: included.
Want it in brass? US$8 per crest. Crests or flags only, no names.
