Important Information about Design, Artwork and Copyright

Design and Artwork 

Laser Cutting software requires images in Vector File form. Vector files can be created in illustrator, inkscape, autocad, draft sight, corel draw etc.  Designs can be provided in file types Including PDF,  BMP, PNG  and SVG.  If you do not have your design in any of these formats you can send it in another format such as a JPG File or Clip Art Image and we will re-draw it in our Laser Cutting Software for a one off $15 fee per item.  

Designs that are completely drawn with no artwork supplied by you would incur additional costs.  Please contact us to see if we will be able to design your vision.  If it’s beyond our capability then you could get your idea designed by another designer.  There are some items with no fee such as our Custom Business Tags and very simple outline shapes. 

 Copyright & Rights of Use 

 You must obtain Copyright and have full rights of use for provided designs (unless someone else owns them which you’ll need to provide payment proof for us to be able to use them) and allow us the rights of use to make only the pieces requested.  We will only use your design for you, and upon your request, we will not re-distribute your designs in their original state in any form.  It is possible another customer will ask for a similar design, in this case we make sure the design is different or ask for evidence that have purchased the same Copyright for that design.  

 We cannot use designs that you do not own Copyright or rights of use for, such as images found online or photographs of a design. If you are unsure if you are able to use an image, contact the creator for their terms of use.  Most licensed companies including but not limited to Disney, Pixar and Marvel require you to purchase and obtain a license from them directly in order to use their images and designs. We use and recommended Google Inside Search to trace back images to the original creator.  

 We love sharing the projects that we have worked on and may share a photograph of your laser cut project on our website or social media pages with credits.  This may involve us peeling protective tape off your pieces for you. In this case we make sure we pack the items with protective tape off carefully so they don’t get damaged. 

 Pricing Custom Designs 

This is always assessed on a case by case basis.  How long it will take to cut the design on the laser, the type and cost of the material being cut and the quantity.
