We can laser engrave quite long names/text (Please read all notes below) on all 8 balls. That works out to be approx $3.00 per ball.

1. Can only be purchased with a set of balls.
2. You can choose a second line for extra cost. $8.00
3. The limitation is that the name must fit inside a 2 inch dia circle.
4. A name that is 9 characters long will be approx. 9mm (3/8 inch) high. If it's longer then the height will be less to suit condition 3.
5. There is of course a logical limit to the number of letters. A reasonable maximum number of letters per line is 10 - 12 and this includes spaces. But we can do more they'll just be harder to read. So you can type for eg "William and Gwendolin's Wedding" and we will engrave it. But it will be harder to read and you will be disappointed.
6. You can put spaces in. So a Name could read
   JOHN SMITH. Spaces count as letters
7. The laser engraving depth is approximately .25 mm deep or less and does not affect warranty or the balance of the balls.
8. Laser Engraved balls are NOT returnable.
9. The Solid Color balls we think, show the engraving better than the Speckled balls. Because the "busyness" of the speckles make the text harder to see. Especially if the letters are small due to length of text requested.

Custom engraving your image or logo

We can also do special engraving of your artwork at low cost. Call us for a quote. Before calling send file first to sales@playaboule.com.
Formats supported .ai, .bmp, CorelDraw all types, PhotoShop all types, Illustrator all types (but must have compression turned off when saved). The best format is vector and not bit map. We can't do color or grey scale so it must be black and white only. e.g. .bmp 1-bit only. Adobe Illustrator (uncompressed) or CorelDraw are preferred. Must be scaled to fit in 2 inch dia circle or a 2 x 2 inch square if there is no fine detail in the corners.
If the image does not need to be adjusted the cost per set to laser engrave 8 balls is only $48.95. That's approx. $6.00 per ball. If we need to do a special setup or modifications to your artwork additional charges may apply.

As noted above. Laser engraving is burning off the top layer of a ball. It is NOT a color process like a laser color printer. Also if you send us a low resolution image or one copied off a website it will have poor resolution when engraved.

So this color logo as a .JPG

must be converted to 1 bit black and white like this as "line art" and as a .BMP

or this which is converted to 1 bit but as "half tone" and gives the approximation of gray scale and also saved as a .BMP

another convert options that is availble in PhotoShop or Corel Paint and image processing software when converting to 1 bit is "stucki". It like "half tone" gives the impression of gray scale.
