How we engrave

Flawless reproductions of any image or artwork can be recreated on almost any material. Let your imagination be your guide.

The real brass plate, engraved on the Citation® — **From design to brass.** We designed this plate for our website, then engraved it on the Citation®. Drag the handle to compare. Send us your design and we’ll do the same.

Citation® engraving

“Anything on paper”

Our unique Citation® engraving technique has been the industry’s best method of engraving for 65 years. This trademark process still stands alone for reproducing graphics in metal with clarity and depth. We invented the Citation® engraver, and we still run the world’s largest fleet of them.

Laser engraving

Uniquely versatile, our 60W laser etches crisply into wood, acrylic, glass, metal and plastic. Pick an item from our catalogs, or ship yours to us for engraving.

Full-color sublimation

Our sublimation process embeds full-color logos, photos and artwork directly into metal and plastic, so the color becomes part of the piece.
