Standard Engraving
All Cross writing instruments except MicroPen have an area for
engraving on the cap section. A maximum of 2 lines can be engraved
on “special ordered” double panel caps. One line can be engraved on
standard caps, but no engraving can be done on the barrel section of
the writing instrument.
All precious metal caps can be engraved in drag or deep-cut, enamel
filled. Drag engraving styles include block, script and double-line
Gothic. Deep-cut, enamel-filled engraving is available in block,
script, or Times Regular styles. Cross Matrix, Morph2 Rollerball,
Morph, Ion, ATX, satin finish and Trophy writing instruments require
laser engraving; styles include block and script. Laser-style
engraving does not accept color-fill.
Color-fill options include: black, blue, red, green, gold tone and
silver tone. Color is determined by the product being engraved. 18,
14 and 10 karat gold filled writing instruments may be color-filled
with black, blue, red or green. Sterling silver, silver plated,
Medalist or chrome plated finishes accept gold tone. Lacquer
finishes with gold plated appointments are color-filled with gold
tone. Lacquer finishes with silver plated, rhodium or chrome plated
appointments are filled with silver tone.
