New YETI® or BYO YETI®: Which Option Is Best?

ETCH offers two simple ways to create a personalised YETI®.

You can purchase a new YETI® through our online store and customise it as part of the same order, or send us a suitable YETI® you already own through our BYO engraving service.

Both options create permanent personalised drinkware, but the best choice depends on whether you already own the product, need a specific colour or want the simplest ordering process.

Option 1: Purchase a New YETI® From ETCH

The New YETI® collection allows you to choose an available product, colour and size, then personalise it online.

This is usually the easiest option when buying a complete personalised gift.

Benefits include:

• Product and engraving included in one order
• No need to send a product to ETCH
• Online product and colour selection
• Artwork uploaded through the customiser
• Artwork reviewed before engraving
• Australia-wide delivery
• Free shipping on qualifying new YETI® orders

You can personalise the product with names, photos, company logos, monograms, messages or other suitable artwork.

When Is a New YETI® the Best Choice?

Choose a new YETI® when:

• You do not already own the product
• You are buying a complete gift
• You want the simplest ordering process
• The preferred product is available online
• You want ETCH to handle the product and engraving together
• You are ordering several matching products
• You need Australia-wide delivery

Option 2: Bring Your Own YETI®

The BYO YETI® engraving service allows you to personalise a suitable product you already own or have purchased elsewhere.

This option can be ideal when:

• You already own your preferred YETI®
• The product has sentimental value
• You have found a particular colour elsewhere
• The product is not available in the ETCH range
• You want to update a product you use regularly
• You only need the engraving service

The item should be genuine, clean and in suitable condition for engraving.

BYO Local Pickup

Customers in the Mackay region can choose the BYO YETI® Local Pickup option.

This allows you to drop the product off and collect it after engraving.

ETCH is based in Marian and provides a convenient local option for customers from Mackay, Marian, Walkerston, Mirani, Sarina, the Northern Beaches and surrounding areas.

BYO Shipping

Customers outside the local area can use the BYO YETI® Shipping Option.

Under this option:

• You purchase the engraving service online
• ETCH sends the relevant shipping instructions
• You send your YETI® to ETCH
• The product is engraved
• The completed product is returned to you

Read the current product-page instructions carefully before packaging and sending your item.

Which Option Is More Convenient?

A new YETI® is generally the most convenient because the product and engraving are handled in one transaction.

The BYO service involves additional steps because the product must be dropped off or sent to ETCH before engraving.

However, BYO provides greater flexibility when you already own the right product or need a colour or style purchased elsewhere.

Which Option Is Best for Gifts?

Choose a new YETI® when:

• You want a ready-to-order gift
• You do not already own the product
• You want it delivered directly to the recipient
• You need to choose a product online
• You want to avoid organising separate postage

Choose BYO when:

• You have already purchased the gift
• The recipient owns a favourite YETI®
• The product has sentimental value
• You need a specific colour or style
• You are located near Mackay and can use local pickup

Which Option Is Best for Corporate Orders?

For a larger staff or client order, purchasing new products through ETCH is generally the most straightforward option.

It can make it easier to coordinate:

• Matching products
• Product colours
• Company logos
• Employee names
• Artwork preparation
• Delivery
• One complete quote

Businesses can submit their requirements through the Corporate Orders page.

Can a Used YETI® Be Engraved?

A used YETI® may be suitable when it is clean and in good condition.

Existing scratches, dents, chips or worn areas will remain visible and can affect the final appearance.

Before submitting a used item:

• Clean it thoroughly
• Remove stickers and adhesive
• Check the coating
• Inspect the intended engraving area
• Confirm the product is suitable
• Contact ETCH when unsure
