WHAT IS THE MINIMUM SIZE MY PLAQUE CAN BE? In designing your copy for your bronze plaque you can use these guidelines, there is a little wiggle room in these specs.
To determine the plaque width use 10 characters for every 5" as a guide for block letters and 10 characters for 5 ¾" for times roman style or most serif letters.
The smallest letter available is 1/2", a 1/2' letter height is 1/2" wide including the spacing between letters. So 30 characters wide would fit on a 15" wide plaque.
Allow 2" for margins and borders and spacing all around to the longest line. No hyphens.
To determine the height of the plaque add the capital height and multiply by 2 to include spacing.
For any logo's or emblems or decorations add to the width or height and add an additional 2-4 inches for spacing.
You can send us your copy and we can give you the best size and pricing to fit your plaque.
Let your inscription dictate the size of your plaque rather than letting a pre-determined plaque size dictate your inscription.

DO YOU HAVE REFERENCES? I have listed the references below from many categories that you might need including Universities, Municipalities, Institutions, Government agencies, Dedication, Memorials, Recognition, and Garden. I have also include some of the unsolicited testimonials We have received.

IF I HAVE A LOGO HOW DO I SEND IT TO YOU? All logos have to be sent in an eps. Vectorized format for a pc not mac. Drawing programs such as Adobe Illustrator® create vector graphics, made of lines and curves defined by mathematical objects called vectors. Vectors describe graphics according to their geometric characteristics.
For example, a bicycle tire in a vector graphic is made up of a mathematical definition of a circle drawn with a certain radius, set at a specific location, and filled with a specific color. You can move, resize, or change the color of the tire without losing the quality of the graphic. A vector graphic is resolution-independent-that is, it can be scaled to any size and printed on any output device at any resolution without losing its detail or clarity.
As a result, vector graphics are the best choice for type (especially small type) and bold graphics that must retain crisp lines when scaled to various sizes-for example, logos. Because computer monitors represent images by displaying them on a grid, both vector and bitmap images are displayed as pixels on-screen.

HOW CAN I INSTALL THE PLAQUE? Installation is very easy; first the plaque comes with threaded screws that are screwed into the back of the plaque. The screws are approximately 2" long. You drill a hole into the surface that you are mounting the plaque on about the same diameter size as the screws, then fill the holes with silicone or other epoxy bonding agent, also apply some of the bonding to the back of the plaque. After you have done this you slide the screws into the holes and the plaque is mounted for a lifetime. We strongly urge you NOT to schedule any ceremony involving your plaque until you actually have the plaque in your hand. Production varies at different times of the year. Delays can occur, although very rare, that are out of our control including (castings that must be redone, shipping damage, lost or delayed shipments, etc). Once artwork is approved orders can not be canceled. You an see a diagram here Plaque Installation Instructions.

Q - What if cemetery refuses to allow me to install an outside vendor's product:

A - First have the vendor you are purchasing from get a signed cemetery release form that states the cementery will accept delivery and installation of this product.
This will insure that the product you are purchasing is meeting all of the cemetery's rules and regulations for headstones.

Q What if we have met the specifications of the cemetery and they still won't comply because they want to sell me their product?

A - A cemetery may flat out say they do not accept cemetery headstones from outside sources, or they may say that an installation fee will be levied if you purchase from an another dealer, but not from them. This is considered illegal by federal law as it is restrictive of free trade.

Here is an excerpt from the Federal Trade Commission's website Bureau of Competition page: The FTC's antitrust arm, the Bureau of Competition seeks to prevent business practices that restrain competition -- including monopolistic practices, attempts to monopolize, conspiracies in restraint of trade, and anticompetitive mergers and acquisitions. The Commission's antitrust authority comes primarily from the Federal Trade Commission Act and the Clayton Act both passed by Congress in 1914. Prevention of anticompetitive practices allows for unfettered competition in the marketplace. Purchasers benefit from lower prices and greater availability of products and services.
