\n
What does ARTINA mean?<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

ARTINA. The roots of the company are hidden in the name of ARTINA. <\/span>ART<\/strong> – for ars, <\/span>TIN <\/strong>– for tin and <\/span>A<\/strong> for Austria.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
How do I become a reseller?<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

Contact us by email: office@artina.at<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Where can I buy Artina products?<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

To do this, contact one of our partners, who you can find in the menu “Dealers”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Is Artina-pewter food safe?<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

Yes! Artina only uses tin alloys with at least 95% tin. In addition, the food tolerance is checked annually by the Austrian authorities, but also by the FDA \/ USA (with the strictest criteria worldwide). So enjoy your drinks and food made from Artina pewter!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Is Artina pewter just for decoration or can it also be used?<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

Use it! Pewter is not only decorative but has very special properties. Drinks, for example, stay cool longer in pewter vessels than in glasses. Try it!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
 Do I have to polish pewter regularly?<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

In truth not! In comparison to silver, pewter does not tarnish. However, a natural patina forms over time, which underlines the character. If you don’t want that,<\/span><\/p>\n

simple clean it with a soft cloth or wash it by hand with soapy water. For more practical tips, see \u201cCare\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Can you fix up pewter?<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

Basically yes! You can fix small scratches or dents yourself. You will find valuable information and materials in the pewter care set (Item No. 15003). Our<\/span><\/p>\n

specialists will be happy to take care of major damage such as holes or broken lids or handles. Simply send a picture in advance so that we can provide you<\/span><\/p>\n

with a non-binding cost estimate.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Can I serve food on pewter plates?<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

Naturally! Acidic foods such as tomatoes, oranges, vinegar, … leave traces, however. Therefore, you should wash and dry your<\/span><\/p>\n

serving plate immediately after the event (don’t wait until the next day).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Pewter dishes in the dishwasher?<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

NO! Pewter requires hand washing with soapy water (without scratching aids) and immediate drying (with a soft cloth) so that no lime stains remain.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
 May I \u201cmix\u201d pewter and silver?<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

Yes, absolutely! Pewter and silver (cutlery) harmonize perfectly and are a real eye-catcher on every laid table.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
What do I do with old tin products? <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

Contact us – we will make you an offer.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Which engraving sizes and areas can you mark?<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

ARTINA technology enables cylinder engravings with a marking radius of 200mm in length up to a full circle. Areas of maximum 600 x 300mm are ideal for your<\/span><\/p>\n

dedication, logo, portrait, building, coat of arms, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
What materials can Artina engrave? <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

Pewter, stainless steel, glass, wood, leather, plastic, aluminum, acrylic and cardboard are very easy to read (even with small engravings). Even hard-to-reach or<\/span><\/p>\n

corrugated areas can be reached with laser engraving.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
