Judaica engraving: text, placement and gift boxes

A name and date can identify a wedding, bar or bat mitzvah, anniversary or dedication. A short inscription gives the engraver fewer words to fit on a small surface. Confirm what the selected object can accommodate.

Check the text before production

• Spell names exactly as the recipient uses them.
• Have the intended reader check Hebrew text and its order.
• Choose the date format, including whether the date is Hebrew or civil.
• Check punctuation and any line breaks with the house.
• Confirm the position and size of the inscription.

Send the final wording as text as well as any reference image. If you want a phrase translated, confirm the approved translation before it is engraved.

CHAI: engraving the piece or the box

CHAI product pages show separate choices for engraving on the piece and on the alder wood gift box. Selecting the box reveals its engraving option. Each engraving has its own text field and charge.

For example, on the CHAI Seven Seventy Denim Kippah, a name on the piece and a date on the box are two selections. Review both text fields and the total before checkout.

Keep fit and fixation separate

Engraving does not choose the kippah's fixation. Select no fixation, a hairpin or a suction cup on the product page as needed. Choose any gift box separately too.

Other Judaica gifts

For a mezuzah case, Kiddush cup or bracelet, ask about the exact surface before assuming it can take an inscription. A box inscription may be an option when the object has limited space.

Include the destination and required arrival date when asking about engraving. Confirm the text, placement and production timing before proceeding.
