Decide what you want engraved on the baseball.
There are many things that you can engrave on a baseball, but it is important to decide what you want before you start the process. Do you want to engrave the name of your favorite player? The logo of your favorite team? A special message? Once you know what you want, you can start the process of getting it done.
Find a company that offers engraving services.
There are a few companies that offer baseball engraving services. You can find them by doing a search online or asking people you know if they have any recommendations. Once you’ve found a company, you’ll need to send them the baseball and decide on the Engraving message you want.
Choose the font and layout for your engraving.
There are a few things to consider when choosing the font and layout for your engraving. The size of the baseball and the number of characters in the engraving will impact the overall look of the finished product. If you have a large baseball you may want to choose a bigger font so that the engraving is more visible. If you have a small baseball you may want to choose a smaller font so that the engraving is more delicate.
Once you have chosen the size of the font, you need to decide on the layout. The two most popular layouts for engravings are “block” and “script.” Block is all letters in one straight line, while script is more of an ornate cursive look. You can also choose to have your engraving done in all capitals, or in both upper and lower case letters.
Once you have decided on the font and layout, it is time to choose the actual words or phrase that you want engraved on the baseball. This can be anything from a player’s name and team number, to a saying or motto. Be creative!
Send the company your baseball and instructions.
To have a baseball engraved, you must first send the company your baseball and instructions. The company will then engrave the baseball according to your specifications.
Review the proof and make changes if necessary.
After you have made your selections and reviewed the proof, you will need to make changes if necessary. You can usually do this by clicking on the “Edit” button next to the item you wish to change. Once you have made your changes, be sure to click on the “Update” button to save them.
Approve the final design.
Once you have found a design that you like, it is time to approve the final design. The company will likely send you a proof of the design to check for any mistakes or changes that need to be made. Once you have approved the design, the company will start the engraving process.
Wait for your engraved baseball to be returned.
Depending on where you had your baseball engraved, it may take a few days to a few weeks for your baseball to be returned. If you are having your baseball engraved as a gift, be sure to factor in the turnaround time when you are deciding when to have the baseball engraved.
