Banquet awards, service plaques, retirement pieces and client gifts — laser engraved in Hollister on wood, glass, metal, slate and leather. Permanent, not printed.
Most recognition disappears. A gift card gets spent, a certificate goes in a drawer. An engraved piece with somebody's name on it tends to sit on a desk for years, which is the entire point of giving it.
Laser engraving removes material rather than adding it, so the mark is part of the object. It does not peel, fade in sunlight, or wash off.
We engrave in-house at our Hollister shop on wood, bamboo, glass, crystal, coated metals, slate, acrylic and leatherette — single pieces or a table full of them.
Banquet or ceremony coming up? Reach out early. A run of awards with individual names on each one is the kind of job where an extra week of lead time removes all the stress.
MVP, most improved, team awards and coach gifts at the end of a season.
Five, ten and twenty-year recognition pieces with name, date and role.
A piece worth keeping, engraved with the years and the words that matter.
Branded drinkware, boards and desk pieces that outlast a promo pen.
Dedication and memorial plaques, engraved carefully and checked twice.
Groomsmen and bridesmaid pieces, each with an individual name.
Ribbon-cutting keepsakes and first-day gifts for staff and investors.
Engraved boards and keepsakes handed over with the keys.
A dozen identical awards is a straightforward job. A dozen awards each with a different recipient name, title and date takes a little more care — and that is the version most banquets actually need.
Send us the list exactly as it should appear, spelled and punctuated the way the recipients spell it. We build it into the proof so you can read every single line before we engrave anything, because a misspelled name on a permanent object is not a fixable mistake.
Our engraving area handles items up to roughly 24" × 12". Larger pieces can often be engraved in sections — ask and we will work it out.
You can supply the piece and pay only for the engraving. People bring in tumblers, knives, cutting boards, flasks, watches, tools and heirloom items all the time.
One honest caveat: we cannot replace a customer-supplied item if it cracks, burns or reacts badly during engraving. Unusual materials and irreplaceable pieces are worth discussing first, and where possible we will test on something similar.
Most laser engraving orders are ready in about a week; larger or more intricate work takes longer, and you get a firm date with your proof.
We are at 817 Industrial Dr, Suite F in Hollister, open M–F, 9am – 5pm. Local pickup is free and we ship nationwide.

Most engraving is ready in about a week, but a large set with individual names needs proofing time on top of that. Two to three weeks before the event is comfortable; tell us the date and we will be straight with you about what fits.
Yes, and it is one of the most common requests. Send the list exactly as it should read and check it on the proof — engraving is permanent, so the proof is the moment to catch a spelling.
Yes. Vector artwork (AI, EPS, SVG, PDF) gives the sharpest result. We can work from high-resolution raster files too, and we will tell you up front if a file will not hold up at the engraving size.
Our laser handles an engraving area of roughly 24" × 12". Bigger pieces can often be engraved in sections or by repositioning the work — send us the dimensions and we will confirm.
Yes, and we will quote the engraving labour separately. We cannot replace supplied items that are damaged during engraving, so check with us first if the material is unusual or the piece is irreplaceable.
