Personalize Your Orvis Items
Adding initials, a name, or a quote (where available) is a great way to make a gift more personal, and it helps to identify a piece of luggage or favorite watch should you misplace it. Depending on the item, you can choose from embroidery, metal engraving/etching, leather embossing, hand scribing, or laser engraving.
HOW IT’S DONE

Embroidery
A commercial sewing machine is used to create characters with thread. Some embroidery consists of thousands of stitches resulting in beautiful and intricate designs.

Hand Scribing
A truly personal process, hand-scribed items are literally completed by hand, most often with paint and brush. We offer hand scribing on select fly rods.

Metal Engraving/Etching
This process utilizes a metal tip, which is depressed onto a metal item surface. Pressure is applied, and a permanent mark is left behind.

Leather Embossing
Metal letters are first heated and then stamped onto a leather surface with pressure. Because heat is used, the leather retains the depression indefinitely.

Laser Engraving
Rather than employing a traditional tool bit, an electronic laser is used to etch images onto a surface. The result is incredible accuracy and clean, crisp edge.
