LAYOUT AND INSCRIPTION
We will tailor all layouts and inscription needs based on your requirements and suggestions. Escape Glass offer a variety of fonts and lettering, headings, and epitaphs for the memorial. In order to give you a sense of what the final product is going to look like, we offer a digital mock-up for each plaque.
It is possible to add hand-painted designs to the front of our plaques with things such as flowers (such as the rose on this design of an open book plaque). For an approximate 5cm x 5cm shape/image, prices start at $75 inc GST each and go up from there
For inspiration and ides please visit our IMAGE LIBRARY FOR ETCHING/ENGRAVING SHAPES
Please note that the inscriptions and wording look best in white, gold or silver.
All plaques are available in standard glass colours or from our kaleidoscopic colour changing range.
The fonts and imagery you choose are all up to you, and we can be of assistance with any image or word sourcing you may need. Each glass plaque is proofed digitally and a mock-up is created before the glass plaque is made. It is free for you to make up to three additional changes to your plaque.
INSTALLATION AND SHIPPING
We can arrange installation in the lower South Island or have your glass work shipped New Zealand wide via courier, the standard shipping cost for this is $45.00 inc GST nationwide. You can also install the memorial plaque yourself, view the installation guide HERE
If the plaque you have ordered is to be installed in Southland, we can arrange installation for you. Installation costs will depend on the location and the amount of travel or work required to install, pricing varies from job to job on request.
Most memorial gardens, crematoriums and cemeteries require a permit that will be added to the installation cost. It is also highly recommended you check for any size requirements as many cemeteries/Memorial Gardens have strict size restrictions.
