Premium Metal Engraving in Cape Town


This wasn’t built in comfort.
It was rebuilt from nothing.

After years spent fighting crime, life changed completely.
Multiple surgeries. Months of recovery. Learning to walk again.

So I made a decision:
Rebuild.

RW Designs was built from that moment — with precision, resilience, and work that means something.

Every piece tells a story.
This is mine.

Artwork Requirements


For the cleanest engraving, logos, crests and line artwork should be supplied as vector artwork where possible.

Best formats:
– PDF vector preferred
– SVG or AI accepted on request
– PNG, JPG and JPEG accepted for photos or reference images

Vector artwork gives the sharpest result for logos, text, crests and clean line designs.

If you are not sure what you have, send it through and we will check it before quoting.

Photo & Portrait Engraving


Photos and portraits can be engraved, but the final result depends heavily on the quality of the image supplied.

Best results come from:
– High-resolution images
– Clear, sharp photos
– Good contrast
– Good lighting
– Minimal background clutter

A clear PNG, JPG or JPEG is usually best.

Low-quality photos may need artwork cleanup or may not be suitable for engraving.

What To Avoid


To avoid poor engraving results, please do not send:

– Blurry images
– Screenshots
– WhatsApp-compressed images
– Photos of printed logos
– Social media profile pictures
– Low-resolution artwork

If the file quality is too low, we may recommend artwork setup before engraving.
