Champions and seasons
Trophies, plaques and keepsakes for leagues, clubs, races and tournaments, with each player’s name on their own piece.
Thank-yous that last

Engrave something you have →“He helped me with a brass plaque for my son’s Eagle Scout project and turned around the engraving in just 20 minutes from the time I walked in the door. The quality was excellent, and his quick, helpful service made a big difference.”Ben W. · Brass plaque, engraved while he waited

Questions
Award and plaque questions
Can you engrave a trophy or plaque I already have?
Yes. Bring it in. Metal, wood, glass, acrylic and leather all engrave well. If you’re not sure about yours, send a photo with your quote request.
Can each award have a different name?
Yes. Send the list of names, a spreadsheet is fine, and we put each one on its own piece. You check every name on the proof before we engrave.
Can you do military emblems and unit logos?
Yes. Send the emblem or a photo of it with the names, ranks and dates. We’ve made retirement plaques for Marines, a retirement sledgehammer for a Gunnery Sergeant and tumblers for a detectives’ squad.
How fast can you make it?
Often the same day, and a simple plate can sometimes be engraved while you wait. For a big team order, we give you a date with your proof.
What do you need from me?
The words exactly as you want them, any logo or emblem, and the date you need it by. We send a free digital proof before anything is engraved.
