YES, we engrave all types of firearms and knives. We do require an appointment for this service — please call us at 215-752-8119. This is done after hours and it would be at least 1 hour's time.
YES, we do engrave on all types of jewelry and watches, as well as charm bracelets, crosses, rings inside and out. Not sure? Call us for more details.
YES, we can engrave on Yeti-type mugs and tumblers as long as they have a color that can be engraved. We cannot do plain metal or silver.
NO, we cannot engrave on stone or marble — our machine is not capable of doing that at the present time.
Yes. We engrave resin and metal urns, including photo engraving and decorative detail. These are sensitive pieces and we treat them with the care they deserve.
Yes, leather engraves well on our machines. Bring the item in or ask us about sourcing one for you.
Yes. Wood is one of the materials we work with most — plaques, signs, cutting boards, wall frames and laser-cut lettering.
Yes. Glass and crystal awards, glassware, tumblers and pint glasses can all be engraved.
We need color separations. For screen printing or engraving we need either EPS, WMF, AI, CDR or PDF for a quality image. We cannot use BMP, JPG, TIFF or GIF — a picture is not artwork. If we have to convert to a working file there is a charge for this.
We would like to get at least 2 weeks for large orders, since we may have to order products and that would take some time getting here. Smaller jobs are often much faster.
Same-day engraving is often available depending on the project and our schedule. Call us at 215-752-8119 to check availability before you come in.
We engrave items you bring in — it does not have to be something we sell. Call us first so we can confirm the material will take a mark.
Yes. Embroidery is the craft of decorating fabric or other materials using a needle to apply thread or yarn, and we run a full in-house embroidery operation.
Minimums depend on the garment and the number of ink colours. Contact us with your quantity and artwork and we will quote it.
Yes. Trophies, medals, ribbons, rosettes, plaques and perpetual awards for schools, leagues, tournaments and corporate recognition. Need them fast? Let us know your date.
Get in touch and ask — depending on condition and type, we may be able to help with recycling or refurbishment.
