What we make ✦ No minimums
Six services, one promise: every piece is quoted honestly, proofed before we cut, and engraved in-house on Milwaukee Avenue. One keepsake or a whole season of trophies — we’d love to make it.
Crystal, acrylic, wood and metal awards for championships, retirements, lifetime achievement and everything between. We help you choose the piece, the wording and the finish — then engrave it here so every letter lands exactly right. Pieces like the Aldridge Lifetime Achievement award start as a conversation at the counter.

Walnut, cherry, brass and bronze plaques for honors, dedications, donor recognition and memorials. These are the pieces families keep for generations, so we take the wording as seriously as you do — you approve a proof of every line before anything is engraved.

Season trophies, medals, pride awards, senior gifts and championship plaques for schools and leagues across Lake County. We’ve handled team orders for Vernon Hills High School for over twenty years and Libertyville Little League every season — names spelled right, ready for banquet night.

Bring your own item and we’ll personalize it — leather gloves, tumblers, tools, glassware, knives, instruments. If it holds still, we can engrave it. We’ll tell you honestly whether your piece will take the engraving well, and you’ll see the layout before we cut.

Monogrammed drinkware, engraved keepsakes, pet tags and one-of-a-kind gifts for weddings, retirements, graduations and every milestone in between. Come in with an occasion and a budget — we’ll come back with ideas you won’t find in a catalog.
Request a quote
Employee awards, years-of-service pieces and logo engraving that actually match your brand. We run recurring recognition programs for corporate clients — and can even build a secure, custom award-ordering site for your team — so your quarterly awards show up on schedule without anyone chasing them. Volume orders shipped anywhere.

How it works
Custom doesn’t have to mean complicated. Most orders take four steps and less than a week.
Call, email, or walk in with the occasion, the item, and rough wording. Not sure yet? Describe it and we’ll help you land it.
We price the job — usually the same business day — and you approve a proof of the exact layout before anything is cut.
Engraved right here on Milwaukee Avenue. Nothing is farmed out, so nothing gets lost in translation.
Walk in and pick it up downtown, or we’ll ship team and corporate orders anywhere in the country.
Our shop
Laser engraving, rotary and diamond drag, laser marking and full-color UV printing — every one of those is a machine standing in our building on Milwaukee Avenue, not a promise we send out to somebody else. Two CO₂ lasers, a fiber marker for bare metal, a UV flatbed for real brand color, a New Hermes rotary and diamond-drag engraver, and a rotary station for bottles and stemware.

Tell us what you need engraved — a single keepsake or a whole season of team awards. We’ll get back to you the same business day.
