Can You Bring Your Own YETI® to Be Engraved?
Already own a YETI® that you use every day? You do not need to purchase another one to make it personal.
With our BYO YETI® engraving service, you can send us your existing YETI® drinkware and have it permanently laser engraved with a name, business logo, photograph, artwork or custom design.
It is an easy way to transform a YETI® you already love into something completely unique.
What Is BYO YETI® Engraving?
BYO YETI® engraving means bringing or sending your own YETI® product to us for custom laser engraving.
Rather than ordering a new product, you provide the YETI® and choose what you would like engraved onto it.
This option is ideal when:
- You already own the colour or model you want.
- You received a YETI® as a gift.
- You want to personalise a favourite bottle, mug or tumbler.
- Your workplace has supplied YETI® drinkware.
- You want to add a name or logo to prevent it being mixed up with someone else’s.
Our engraving service is available to customers throughout Australia.
What Can Be Engraved on Your YETI®?
Your design can be simple, detailed or completely personal.
Popular engraving options include:
- Names and initials
- Business logos
- Photographs
- Children’s drawings
- Memorial designs
- Dates and meaningful messages
- Sporting or hobby-inspired artwork
- Wedding and anniversary designs
- Work crew or team names
- Custom illustrations
You can create your design online by adding text, uploading artwork or selecting from our available design options.
Before engraving, our technicians review and optimise your uploaded file to help achieve the cleanest possible result. Backgrounds may be removed, small details adjusted and artwork prepared specifically for laser engraving.
If there is a problem with your design, we will contact you before engraving begins.
How Does the BYO YETI® Engraving Process Work?
The process is simple.
1. Select the BYO engraving service
Choose the YETI® product type that most closely matches the item you want engraved.
2. Create your design online
Add text, upload your logo, photo or artwork, and position the design using the online customiser.
3. Send or deliver your YETI®
After placing your order, follow the provided instructions for sending your YETI® to us.
Customers who are close to our service area may also be able to arrange local drop-off or collection where available.
4. We prepare and engrave the design
Our team checks the artwork, prepares it for engraving and permanently laser engraves the design onto your YETI®.
5. Your personalised YETI® is returned
Once complete, your engraved YETI® is carefully packed and sent back to you.
What Colour Will the Engraving Be?
Laser engraving removes the coloured coating from the surface of the YETI® and reveals the material beneath.
On most colour-finished YETI® products, the engraved design will appear as exposed stainless steel.
On stainless steel-finished products, the engraving will generally appear dark grey or black.
The final appearance may vary slightly depending on the product colour, surface finish and design detail.
Is YETI® Laser Engraving Permanent?
Yes. Laser engraving permanently marks the surface of the product.
Unlike stickers, vinyl or printed designs, laser engraving will not peel away or wash off during normal use.
This makes it suitable for frequently used drinkware, work bottles, corporate gifts and everyday personalised items.
Which YETI® Products Can Be Engraved?
Many popular YETI® drinkware products are suitable for custom engraving, including:
- Rambler® drink bottles
- Tumblers
- Coffee mugs
- Travel mugs
- Straw drinkware
- Colster® can coolers
- Barware
- Selected food storage products
The available engraving area depends on the shape and size of the product. Larger or more detailed artwork may need to be resized to fit the available surface.
Check the relevant BYO product option before ordering to make sure your YETI® is suitable.
Can You Engrave a Used YETI®?
In many cases, an existing YETI® can still be engraved.
The engraving area should be clean and free from anything that could interfere with the laser process. Existing scratches, dents, coating damage or previous engraving may affect the final appearance.
Clean your YETI® thoroughly before sending it and remove any accessories that are not required.
Can You Engrave a Business Logo?
Yes. Business logos are one of the most popular BYO engraving options.
Custom logo engraving is suitable for:
- Employee drinkware
- Staff recognition gifts
- Construction and trade crews
- Sporting teams
- Client gifts
- Events and promotions
- Small business branding
For larger quantities, our corporate engraving service may be more suitable. It allows us to assist with artwork preparation, product selection and bulk order requirements.
Can Photos Be Engraved?
Photos can be engraved onto suitable YETI® products, although the result depends heavily on the original image.
Clear, high-resolution photos with good contrast normally provide the best starting point. Dark, blurry or heavily compressed images may need additional preparation.
Our technicians review uploaded images before production and will contact you if the photograph is unlikely to produce a suitable engraving.
Why Choose BYO Instead of Buying a New YETI®?
BYO engraving is a great choice when you already have the exact product you want.
It allows you to:
- Personalise a YETI® you already own.
- Keep a favourite or discontinued colour.
- Add identification to workplace drinkware.
- Upgrade a gift you have received.
- Give an older YETI® a fresh, personal look.
- Create a meaningful keepsake without purchasing another product.
Customers who do not already own a YETI® can also choose from our range of new, authentic YETI® products and customise them online.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to purchase a new YETI®?
No. The BYO service is specifically designed for customers who already own a YETI® they would like engraved.
Can I add more than one design?
Available design placement depends on the product and the engraving option selected. Check the online customiser for the available engraving areas.
Will you check my artwork first?
Yes. Uploaded artwork is reviewed and prepared before engraving. We will contact you if there is an issue that may affect the result.
Can you remove the background from my logo or photo?
Backgrounds can often be removed during artwork preparation so the main design can be engraved clearly.
Is engraving suitable for everyday use?
Yes. Laser engraving is permanent and is designed to remain visible during normal everyday use.
