What we laser engrave

We engrave stainless steel tumblers and drinkware, hardwood and bamboo cutting and charcuterie boards, acrylic, leather, glass, slate, MDF and coated metals. Each material takes the laser differently: wood darkens to a rich burn, glass frosts to a soft etch, and coated steel reverses to a bright mark, so part of every quote is matching the item to the finish you are picturing.

Typical work runs from a single engraved gift to a few hundred pieces: custom tumblers and Yeti-style bottles, wedding and anniversary boards, memorial and pet ornaments, house and cabin signs, growth charts, whiskey glasses and flasks, name tags, coasters and awards.

Engraving or UV printing: which one you actually want

Laser engraving removes or darkens the surface itself, so the mark is part of the item and will not peel or fade. It is permanent and tactile, but it is a single tone: the colour is whatever the material becomes under the laser.

When a design needs real colour (a multi-colour company logo, or artwork on a golf ball), UV printing is the right process instead, laying cured ink directly onto the surface. We do both, so the honest answer for a logo with three brand colours is usually printing, not engraving.

Bring us an item you already own

You do not have to buy the blank from us. We regularly engrave customer-supplied items: Yeti, Stanley and other brand tumblers, tools, knives, glassware, boards, and keepsakes that already mean something.

Send a photo first and we will confirm it is suitable before you hand it over. Some finishes and plastics do not engrave cleanly, and a one-off item with sentimental value is not something to find that out on.

Engraving on your own items

Artwork, fonts, and a free proof before anything is made

Vector artwork is best (.ai, .eps, .svg, .pdf) because it scales with perfectly crisp edges, and high-resolution .png, .jpg or .webp files usually work well too. If all you have is a photo, a screenshot or an old business card, send it anyway. We can often redraw it.

You do not need a designer. Most orders start from a few lines of text, a sketch, or a photo, and you can browse our library of 270+ fonts to pick the lettering yourself. Every order then gets a digital proof showing size, placement and colour on the actual item, and nothing goes on a machine until you approve it. Changes at the proof stage are free.

Turnaround, rush orders, pickup and shipping

Most orders are ready in 3 to 5 business days after you approve the proof. Larger corporate runs typically take one to two weeks depending on quantity and how many items need individual names.

If you have a fixed date (a wedding, a retirement, a tournament, a trade show), tell us the in-hands date up front and we will confirm whether it is achievable before you commit. Local pickup in Auburn Bay (SE Calgary) is free and is always the fastest option; we also ship across Canada.

Rush and last-minute orders

Corporate and bulk engraving

We handle branded drinkware, client and employee gifts, recognition awards, trade-show giveaways and promotional runs, with volume discounts on orders of 25 or more. Because artwork setup is reusable, a repeat order in the same design costs less to produce than the first one, worth mentioning if you expect to reorder each year.

For bulk work we can hold your approved logo file and proof on record, so the next order is a quantity and a ship date rather than starting over.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can you laser engrave in Calgary?

We engrave stainless steel tumblers, wood, bamboo, acrylic, leather, glass, slate and coated metals, from custom drinkware and cutting boards to signs, ornaments and corporate gifts.

How much does laser engraving cost in Calgary?

It depends on the item, the size of the engraving and the quantity, so quotes are free and there is no obligation. Products you buy from us show their price on the product page, engraving included, and orders of 25 or more qualify for volume pricing.

How long does custom laser engraving take?

Most orders are ready in 3 to 5 business days after you approve your proof. Rush orders are often possible. Tell us your in-hands date and we will confirm before you commit. Corporate bulk orders typically take 1 to 2 weeks depending on quantity.

Can you engrave an item I already own?

Yes. We regularly engrave customer-supplied items including Yeti, Stanley and other brand tumblers, tools, glassware and keepsakes. Send a photo first so we can confirm the material and finish will engrave cleanly.

Can you engrave in colour, or only one tone?

Laser engraving is a single tone: the colour is whatever the material becomes under the laser. For full-colour artwork such as a multi-colour logo we use UV printing instead, which lays cured ink onto the surface. We offer both and will tell you which suits your design.

What artwork file types do you accept?

Vector files are best (.ai, .eps, .svg, .pdf) because they stay crisp at any size, and high-resolution .png, .jpg or .webp images usually work well too. If you only have a photo or a screenshot, send it anyway. We can often redraw from it, and you do not need a designer to order.

Do you send a proof before engraving?

Yes. Every order gets a digital proof showing your artwork on the item (size, placement and colour), and nothing goes on a machine until you approve it. Changes at the proof stage are free.

Can you engrave our company logo on bulk orders?

Yes. We engrave and print company logos on drinkware, awards, gifts and promotional items, with volume discounts from 25 pieces. We can keep your approved logo and proof on file so repeat orders are quicker.

Do you offer local pickup in Calgary?

Yes, free local pickup in Auburn Bay (SE Calgary), which is also the fastest option if you are on a deadline. We ship across Canada as well.
