It is a solvent ink design to etches into the finish of the box. The same can be done on metal and may other materials.
It will not wear off. It will come off if you wash it with acetone.

No, it is printed directly onto the box with a special ink.

What is the cost going to be to have a 'special' box created for a client?
Oh...yea... they are cool!

Around $ 5 - $7 max plus the pen box.
All I need is a good file to work with, the better the artwork the better the result.

So, do the designs come ready made or do you buy the materials and draw them or . . . ?

I would print the design on the box. I would use Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw or Adobe Photoshop to create or modify the design to fit the box.
There would be standard designs available from my site as soon as I have received my pen box stock.
Most of the work would be custom work where you can give me the design you like to put on the box.

Constant, once again stepping up the bar. Will this work with any type of wood? So if we are able to supply a box we made you can put this on it?

Best results would be with a light color wood. I still have to test it on darker woods.
There are limitations on the hight of the object that can be printed. (5")
Wood needs to have some kind of a finish on it for best results.

Can you print on a pen?

That will come next, I have made up a rotary attachment for the machine but are still waiting on some parts to finalize the design. Final testing will be done shortly.

Very nice. I like the 9-11 one. I came with some other guys to NYC 0n 9-12 for the disasters to assist with rescue operations. I would like to make a 9-11 themed one day.
We had a number of Canadians there helping so maybe a themed US/Can united theme would be neat. Now you got me thinking Constant.
LOL....

It's awesome...it will come off with acetone, but if you put a finish on it, acetone will eat that too..what would someone be doing with acetone and a pen box anyhow???

This would be great. I am planning on making the 9-11 stamp pen and maybe you could do the 9-11 stamp on the box???? What does the inside look like and what size pen will it take???

Small world, I did disaster relief there too. I worked with Ladder 2 Company for almost a full week. Some of the guys we drove with were from Toronto!
