Personalization isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a competitive edge. Customers crave products that feel uniquely theirs, whether it’s a monogrammed tumbler, custom-etched jewelry, or a personalized phone case. For merchants, meeting this demand doesn’t have to mean dealing with complicated workflows, higher costs, or long lead times. ShipMonk’s in-house engraving services transform customization into a seamless, plug-and-play process designed to help your business grow, stand out, and delight customers at every turn.

Integrating custom engraving into your offerings has never been easier.
Utilizing trusted industry experts like Spectrum’s 3D product customization software, we’re able to receive 100% factory-ready files for accelerated production. Once artwork is received at a ShipMonk location, we leverage cutting-edge CO2 laser engraving technology, including the Trotec Speedy 360 and SpeedMarker 700, ShipMonk achieves precision, speed, and consistency with every product. Whether it’s detailed artwork or simple initials, our state-of-the-art equipment delivers professional-grade results every time. And with a maximum engraving area of 18″x18″, your creativity knows no bounds.
Volume restrictions
While we’re built to scale, it’s important to note that ShipMonk engraving services are best suited for merchants meeting a pre-defined minimum order volume.* This ensures we deliver optimal efficiency and quality for all partners.
Why ShipMonk engraving is a smart growth strategy
By offering engraved products, you can create a premium experience that differentiates your brand in a crowded market. Here’s how ShipMonk helps you turn this service into a growth opportunity:
Stand out with customization
Up to 50% of users migrate from a stock product to one that is customizable. This insight enables brands to create meaningful, distinct experiences on their .com, with an increase of 20-30% in cart AOV. Adding engraving to your product lineup positions your brand as both innovative and customer-focused. Personalized products foster emotional connections, which can lead to increased loyalty and repeat purchases.
Save time, resources, and stress
Our plug-and-play process takes care of everything—from artwork submission to final product delivery. With engraving services fully integrated into our fulfillment platform, we cut out the delays and logistics headaches typically tied to third-party vendors. Plus, most engraved orders are fulfilled and shipped within 24 hours.
Cost-effective scaling
Setting up engraving in-house can require major investments in technology, training, and production time. With ShipMonk, you gain access to state-of-the-art engraving capabilities without a single upfront cost, freeing you to focus your resources on innovation and growth.
Quality you can trust
Hands-off doesn’t mean you compromise quality. Every engraving is completed in-house under strict oversight to ensure consistent, professional results that exceed expectations.
Zero guesswork inventory management
Our made-to-order approach means customization happens after an order is placed. This reduces your need for pre-customized stock while minimizing overstock and storage inefficiencies.
How the process works
Our engraving services are designed to fit seamlessly into your sales process, with transparency at every step. Here’s how it all comes together:
- Your customers’ designs
Customization starts when your customers submit personalization details during checkout. These design requests, including any artwork, are integrated directly into ShipMonk’s system via Spectrum software. - Real-time tracking and previews
Merchants can view submitted artwork and a digital rendering of the final product within the app. This ensures clarity and confidence before production begins. - Effortless production
Every custom order is engraved with care in one of ShipMonk’s owned and operated facilities, ensuring oversight and precision from start to finish.
This process is designed to delight your customers while taking the operational complexities off your plate.
“Spectrum’s integration with ShipMonk creates a seamless bridge between product customization and fulfillment. Our software connects directly to their embellishment workflow, ensuring every engraved detail is captured and delivered exactly as designed. Ultimately, what the user configures is what ShipMonk delivers.” Levi Patterson, Partner and Customer Product Specialist at Spectrum
