What is Baron Technology, Inc.?
Baron Technology is a 30-year-old custom design studio and engraving shop that provides engraving services to an individual, for use by an organization, or on large-volume projects for manufacturers to enhance their product.
Baron integrates hand-engraving techniques used for centuries with today’s ever expanding technology, converting your blank platform—whatever the size, shape or material—into a work of art.
Baron Technology also provides art and creative services to transform your vision into a format that, once approved by you, can be engraved by Baron Technology’s craftsmen.
What kind of products do you engrave?
You name it! During its three decades of operation, Baron Technology has engraved a wide variety of products that are sent to them by the customer or a supplier. These items range from wedding rings and cufflinks to fly-fishing bamboo rods and titanium reels; from pewter table ware to silverware; from special-edition musical instruments including guitars, flutes and drums to custom motorcycle parts, firearms, cutlery and other recreational product. Some of the more unusual products sent to Baron were the historic ships’ bells that adorn Australian Navy vessels and the solid sterling ship’s wheel that was engraved for an extravagant yacht. We are proud that several U.S. Presidents and countless dignitaries possess gifts that were engraved by Baron.
Does Baron sell product that is already engraved or blank goods?
No, Baron does not sell product of any kind. It only works on items that are supplied by the customer, whether that is a single item or a hundred of something. All products supplied to Baron for engraving are sent as parts or in their entirety, and then returned or forwarded.
Will Baron embellish one of something or just large-volume projects?
Baron will work with you, your company or outside agency to produce a single piece, 14 personalized pieces of similar design, or hundreds of one product. Baron has the capacity to run several projects each year that number in the thousands of units, but still maintains that single and personal touch, which is required to engrave that one distinct and unique piece. Baron also has several of our engineered, sculpted-roll machines operating in tandem with online factory production in manufacturing facilities throughout the U.S., Europe and Japan.
How Do I Communicate what art I want on my product?
The first step is to call Baron at 203-452-0515 or email Baron at BTI@baronengraving.com and let us know a few details about what you have in mind. We will work with you to answer your questions and help lead you to the best approach. That is also the opportunity for us to explain a few of the options that would best suit your needs, share photos of similar types of projects and review timelines.
Here is a description of art file formats that are best suited if you have logos, emblems or other design elements to submit as part of the art layout process: to ensure an accurate reproduction of supplied artwork, the supplied reference materials are asked to be vector-based artwork with typeface saved as a Corel CDR or CMX file on disk or sent via email. If this format is not available, EPS vector files, SVG, B&W TIFF or WMF files are acceptable. Original, high-contrast black and white art with sharp, defined edges are critical without gray or fuzzy areas. A second file showing colors will also be needed. Artwork not complying with these guidelines could require additional development or conversion costs than the price quoted or hours estimated.
How much will the engraving cost?
Each project is unique in its own way and therefore it is not possible to give specific pricing here, other than to state that Baron will work within your budget to deliver—on time—a product that has quality, creativity and lasting value. Those Baron business practices are difficult to price on this FAQ page.
How much time does it take to get a project completed?
The first step in almost any project is defining and creating the art design, which may take anywhere from two weeks to a month; this depends on the number of revisions desired and approval by you, the customer. As Baron has several types of process options, some will take longer to make it through production than others, but once product is received, it usually takes four to six weeks to complete. Of course, this all is dependent on your quantity, delivery commitments by customer and the complexity of the engraving. Some customers need it tomorrow and others plan far ahead. Either way, Baron will work with you to ensure we exceed your expectations for an embellishment that is destined to be presented, over time, as an heirloom from this generation to the next.
Where do I ship the product?
Baron Technology, Inc. is located at 62 Spring Hill Road, Trumbull, Connecticut, 06611. Baron has the capability to receive and reship through USPS, UPS, FedEx and through truck freight services.
What is the form of payment?
Baron will accept payment through check, credit card (MasterCard or Visa) and for customers with established credit an account can be established with set terms.
Is an FFL Exchange necessary?
For projects that involve a serialized firearm or serialized parts, Baron will exchange our current Federal Firearms License with the company or registered transfer agent that is sending the product.
What is the first step?
The first step is to call Baron at 203-452-0515 or email Baron at BTI@baronengraving.com and let us know a few details about what you have in mind. We will work with you to answer your questions and help lead you to the best approach to meet your engraving needs.
What is the last step?
For most Baron Technology customers, the last step is the excited phone call or email back to Baron thanking us for the extraordinary engraving that has been received and the help given to get to that point. As many state: “I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.”
