  • 3. Depending on the material and surface treatment, there is a possibility that the engraving characters may become blurred.
  • 4 The letter size and angle of the engraving are only reference values. Dimensional accuracy is not guaranteed.
  • 5. Depending on the content of the characters, there may be cases where the size differs from the specified size
  • 6. Depending on the total length of the engraving, there is a possibility of discrepancies in letter spacing and height (ref.: 90 mm or more).
