While certain items may not need to have the crispest lettering engraved on it, other pieces demand nothing less than absolute clarity and perfection. Rest assured that our laser engraving can give you the clear engravings you need most.
Do you want a unique gift for a group to which you belong? If you have an idea- perhaps a charm for a necklace- you can have it engraved with your group’s insignia or perhaps the individual’s name or nickname. The options are endless!
A trophy or medal is ultimately just the embodiment of an achievement. They're there to help you remember that at some point in your life, you did something that is truly remarkable and definitely worth looking back on.
Did you know that, to date, there are approximately 90,000 fonts available? Laser engraving makes it possible to use even the most complicated font you can think of in very fine detail, compared to traditional engraving methods.
Quite possibly the most expensive trophy is the Doncaster Cup, which is valued at around $250,000. Originally known as the Doncaster Gold Cup, this 150-year-old silverware trophy is now offered as a perpetual trophy by the Australian Jockey Club.
There are many different applications where photochemical engraving is a good option. This includes any type of foil stamping dies or embossing dies, as well as commemorative plaques. A related process, photo-mechanical engraving, is often used to make photo lithographs.
In traditional laser engraving, the energy from the laser literally changes the surface of the material that it is directed at. Traditional lasers can be used to heat-up, fracture (also known as "glass up"), or vaporize materials, effectively creating an engraving.
The optic crystal popular for premium awards is lead free, which makes the crystal extremely hard. The material can be polished to produce a flawless, smooth surface or it can be beveled or hand-cut into custom shapes.
Laser engraving has become very popular. This type of engraving uses a laser to cut the designs into the surface of the item being engraved. One benefit of laser engraving is that it can get into small or otherwise difficult spots.
For corporations seeking to improve their bottom line, custom plaque and award giving is a great way to uphold employee retention rates. Indeed, there can be little doubt of the power of trophies and awards—just look at the Heisman Trophy, the Commissioner's Trophy, or the Stanley Cup!
Did you know that it wasn't until the early 1960’s that scientists first discovered they could create a light source, focus its energy and have a tool powerful enough to engrave and mark a wide range of materials?
Custom engraving can be done on anything from one, specific piece to a larger number of bulk items. Engraved items work for gifts for family and loved ones as well as for business clients and staff and for any number of personal or professional occasions.
Did you know that the FIFA World Cup trophy was stolen twice? First was in 1966, when it became one of the most-sought-after-objects by Scotland Yard. In 1983, it disappeared once again in Brazil and has not been found to this day.
Did you know that up until the mid-19th century, engraving (also called copper-plate engraving) was very popular as a way of replicating images of daily life onto paper? You could say that engraving holds the origins of the printing process and of a modern-day newspaper.
BIDEN/HARRIS – CHARACTER MATTERS
Shortly after election day, a dear friend posted on Facebook that he had voted for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. He claimed he did so because he believed that character mattered. I admit I produced a disbelieving frown, temporarily, before I allowed it to turn upside down.
To my way of thinking, if we were to rank the final-four, Mike Pence would probably come in first; Pres. Trump a close second; and Biden and Harris together, a far-distant third. With Jesus at 100° and Satan at zero, Pence would probably rank 90°, the president 80°, Biden and Harris 2°.
Here’s why:
To believe that Biden and Harris have remarkable character, one must not be aware of the Burisma (where’s Hunter been?), Ukraine, Russia, China, Iran, and, closer to home, the FBI, IRS, Fast and Furious, ACA, and FISA scandals.
I realize that Harris had minimal if any involvement in any of those scandals, but merely being the communist she is, sufficiently exposes her character. Not to mention the way in which she advanced her political career. That’s really all we need to know about her.
Furthermore, a Biden/Harris administration will have its strings manipulated by a Democrat/socialist party which intends to stifle the First Amendment to the Constitution, repeal or circumvent the Second and drastically alter many others. All in direct conflict with the oath of office to which they both solemnly swore. Can you spell, treason? In addition, they plan to stack the Supreme Court and the Senate, raise taxes, return us to energy dependence on our probable and unreliable enemies, bankrupt us with an unnecessary “green new deal,” open our borders, send our industries back overseas (mainly China, to which the “swamp- dwellers” are heavily dependent upon financially), send hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Americans scrambling to find jobs, heavily regulate, etc., and most important of all, continue murdering millions more of the most innocent among us, helpless babies. Torturing them first by pulling them apart limb from limb unless they’re “fortunate enough” to initially be mercifully decapitated.
Oops, I almost forgot – how could I – Old Lunch-bucket gropes and sniffs little girls and women. I even remember seeing one photo of him with his hand on a law enforcement officer’s knee. That officer didn’t look real happy about it either. But then, looking for good character anywhere in politics, especially Washington DC, is going to be a tough hunt, even with a reeeeeeally good dog.
Biden out-characters Trump? I can’t see how a rational person could come to that conclusion. Trump entered the corrupt political arena less than four years ago and has done more for America and the American people (including and especially minorities and women) than the last four presidents combined did in 28 years. Quite possibly the last 43 presidents; even while being constantly harassed by jealous and frightened-for-their-lives Democrats, RINOs, the MSM, foreign concerns and the ever hovering and hidden deep-state. I challenge anyone to show what Joe Biden has accomplished in 47 years, eight of which were spent as vice president.
Sorry, I was not entirely accurate. Old Lunch-bucket Joe (more accurately, freeloader Joe) has succeeded in making himself and his family quite wealthy off the backs of American taxpayers and foreign bribes and extortion, while he has contributed nothing of worth to the country that’s been his meal-ticket for all of his adult life.
Pres. Trump on the other hand lost millions, if not billions; ignoring his businesses to become president and even donating his presidential salary to charities for the last nearly 4 years. Donald Trump loves his country. Joe Biden uses and abuses it. “America was an idea. An idea. ‘We hold these truths to be self- evident?’ We’ve never lived up to it…” Just a short blurb straight from “tough guy” Biden’s mouth. If he ever gets into the office of president, those freedoms we take for granted now, like gun ownership and the freedom to shoot them, will be gone.
The problem isn’t only that the MSM lies daily about Donald Trump, it’s also that they never tell the real truth about Democrats. Talk about collusion.…
Democrats, if the truth be told, are not the Democrats of your grandfather. They’ve become communists just like Nikita Khrushchev warned and promised they would.
“I don’t think it’s appropriate, I think the Constitution implies, there is no provision in the Constitution. My problem is, I made a mistake at teaching Constitutional law for 21 years and the separation of powers.” Just another idiotic ramble from Mr. brain-dead Joe proves the real Democrat intention. Oh, and the great man of “character” never taught Constitutional law anywhere.
Character matters? “Come on man!” That’s not the real reason – resembles more of an excuse for someone who values show and fabrication more than he does policy and positive results. If I had to guess I’d say the real reason is because the Biden/Harris ticket has a capital D after it. It’s very difficult to get free of a cult. A vote of confidence doesn’t mean you have to marry Donald Trump and accept that in his character with which you disagree, it only means you have to be honest about his accomplishments.
Mirrors and glass can give your office a timeless, classy look, but it doesn’t have to stop with plain glass. Engravers can recreate your business and logo in either windows or mirrors to give your office that extra bit of permanence.
Remember to consider the font you'll use on your plaque in addition to the wording. Fancy script fonts can be elegant, while blockier fonts tend to look more official.
An old tradition that has fallen by the wayside, but that still makes an elegant gift, is an engraved silver rattle with the child’s name and birthdate. When engraved with a laser process, the finest of designs can be made, making this an heirloom gift.
One of the benefits of partnering with an established engraving company is consistency. Depending on your arrangement, they can store your particular design so that it can be used again to duplicate the engraving on earlier runs of your product.
Did you know that the highest Scouts of America awards include the Eagle Scout award and the Arrow of Light award? The Arrow of Light is presented to Cub Scouts, and the Eagle Scout award is presented to Boy Scouts.
Laser engraving does not involve any tool bits or ink which means it is not reliant on parts that can wear out or printing materials that need replacing. Laser engraving uses a beam of light to accomplish its task faultlessly.
Custom crystal awards are an excellent way to show that you’re bestowing the highest honor upon your recipient. You can choose from many different shapes and sizes to convey the exact message and tone that you want to get across.
Do you have a restored classic car that needs a personal touch? Why not an engraved plate? A personalized engraved plate with your name, and the date the car was finished, plus any names of friends who helped restore the car can be the perfect final touch.
You can leave your mark on any number of surfaces with laser engraving. From plastic to aluminum, brass and stainless steel, your message will come across clearly. Laser engraving can handle many sizes, styles, and colors to meet your needs.
