Engraveology Engraveology

Permanent marks on things people keep.

We engrave corporate gifts, awards and client thank-yous — glass, wood, slate, leather and metal — from your logo, in batches from one piece to a few hundred. Nothing printed, nothing that wears off.

01 · Materials

What we mark

Each material takes the beam differently, so each one gives a different mark. If you have something not on this list, send a photo — most hard surfaces can be tested on a scrap first.

Glass

Barware, decanters, awards. Shot and rocks glasses are our most requested corporate piece.

Frosted white etch

Wood

Boards, boxes, coasters, plaques. Birch and maple hold fine detail; walnut gives the strongest contrast.

Dark burn, raised grain

Slate

Coasters, serving boards, desk pieces. Heavy in the hand, which is most of why people keep them.

Pale grey relief

Leather

Portfolios, valet trays, luggage tags, journal covers. Works on genuine and bonded leather alike.

Debossed, darkened edge

Coated metal

Tumblers, flasks, pens, plates. Powder-coated and anodized finishes take a crisp mark down to the base metal.

Bright metal on colour

How it works

Four steps, in order — each one waits on the one before it. You approve a real engraved sample before we run the batch, so nothing gets produced that you haven't held first.

  1. Step 01

    Send the brief

    Your logo or artwork, roughly what you want it on, and how many. A rough count is fine at this stage.

    You · 5 minutes
  2. Step 02

    Quote and proof

    We price it and send a proof showing your artwork placed on the actual piece, at actual size.

  3. Step 03

    Approve a sample

    On orders over 25 pieces we engrave one and ship it to you. Nothing else runs until you've said yes to it.

    Both · 2–3 business days
  4. Step 04

    Production

    The batch is engraved, checked piece by piece, and packed. Local delivery in the DMV, or shipped anywhere.
