Making a Flag Case Personal
Every case elsewhere in this catalog can typically be ordered with some level of customization, but the products in this category lead with personalization as the main feature — a name, rank, dates of service, or a short inscription laser-engraved directly into the glass or set on an engraved brass name plate mounted to the case.
What You Can Typically Customize
Depending on the listing, you may be able to specify the service member's name, branch emblem, dates of birth and death (or service dates), rank, or a short personal message. Engraving is usually done to order, so expect a longer production time than an off-the-shelf case — check the listing or contact Flags Connections directly for current turnaround before ordering if you're working toward a specific date, such as a funeral or memorial service.
Proofing Your Engraving
Because engraving is permanent, double-check spelling of names, dates, and ranks carefully when you place your order. If the listing doesn't describe a proofing step before production, consider reaching out to Flags Connections directly to confirm the details before the case is engraved.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does engraving take?
Personalized and engraved cases are typically made to order, so production takes longer than a standard case. Check the specific listing or contact Flags Connections for current turnaround times, especially if you need it by a funeral or memorial date.
Can I proof the engraving before it's made?
Policies vary by product. If proofing isn't mentioned on the listing, we recommend contacting Flags Connections directly before ordering to confirm your name, dates, and rank will be entered exactly as intended.
What can be engraved besides a name?
Many listings allow a branch emblem, rank, dates of service, or a short inscription in addition to the service member's name. Available options are listed on each individual product page.
