How often have you've been told that it can't be engraved? Surprisingly, there are a lot of big-name stores (and small) who either can't or won't engrave gifts. We not only relish it, but we're pretty darn great at it too! On a time crunch? We won't laugh in your face as some other shops would.

We accept it as a challenge, and we'll prove to you that we have the tools, skills, and professionalism one should expect from an engraving shop that's been around for over forty years.If you have an idea of what you want to be engraved but don't have a clue how to accomplish it, we're here to help.

I've seen a lot of changes in the awards business over the last 31-plus years. When I started, we used pantograph engraving machines, set up the type, and manually engraved one line at a time. Then we would tear down, set up a new line of type, move the plaque up a notch and engrave the next line. It took hours to engrave a plaque.
The most common metals for engraving baby cups are pewter, silverplate, and sterling silver. With the price of silver going up so much, silverplate and pewter are becoming more popular. We like the pewter baby cups because they do not tarnish, and we can get some depth to the engraving as pewter is softer than silver.
Bracelets have a history of being engraved, including the traditional Speidel ID bracelet and the bangle bracelet. Engraved medical bracelets are important for some people to have if they suffer from severe health issues and acts as an alert to others. Other types of bracelets are given as special gifts and can be further personalized with one-of-a-kind messages.
You've invested a lot of money into your chef knives, and you want a little insurance that you don't lose them. Most knives are made from solid steel. Ordinary engraving barely works. We etch the knife blade at the spine with your name or other identification. The etching will last for years and looks very professional too.
Many clocks can be engraved-from little tabletop clocks to grandfather clocks and a lot in between. For glass or crystal clocks, we use an etching process. All clocks are different. We always use the most effective engraving method depending on the clock and what you want personalized. Engraved clocks make great corporate and personal gifts and are treasured for years.

It was great. Our grandson will be thrilled with his name on his new engraved baseball glove!

Amazing work done here. He's been doing this stuff for 30+ years so he has what it takes to get your job done in a timely fashion. I wanted a tailpiece from my guitar engraved to salute my favorite rock band and it turned out nothing short of incredible, A+

Had the Engraving Connection do a laser engraving for a small project, which turned out great! Their prices are very reasonable and the timing was good. They have a great little old-school shop with many capabilities.

They go above and beyond making your vision for your engraving item come to be. They are invested in your satisfaction. I am a multiple repeat customer and have many important dates documented by their skills!

The service was perfect. I was promised mock-up to be emailed the next day, when in fact it was sent that afternoon. My wall sign was produced the next morning to my exact specifications.
Staff is very friendly and polite. Overall great experience.

Had a picture frame done for my wife’s first Mother’s Day. They did an absolutely fantastic job. She’s going to love it. Everyone is incredibly nice as well. If I ever need any kind of engraving done again, I’m coming right back here.

There are a lot of businesses that will engrave trophies and plaques and other trinkets… But not all can handle small items including jewelry. I will be recommending Engraving Connection to all of my friends who are looking for these types of services. I was very pleased with the quality of work and extra fast turnaround time on my small quantity order of six memorial lockets. I was looking all around Macomb & Oakland counties for a shop that could do engraving same day, just a few pieces. Let me tell you, this was the only place that could help me and allow me to keep my tight deadline! The

I highly recommend Engraving Connection. They have completed 2 unrelated projects for me and I have been extremely satisfied both times. On both projects, they went above and beyond what I wanted them to do. You can really see the pride in their work. Their turnaround time is quick too.

Plenty of other places to get engraving done besides this company. The counter person is aggressive, rude, and outwardly disrespectful. I made a couple of phone calls from their parking lot and made other arrangements in minutes with friendlier staff. I'm glad I went to another company to get my work completed, for less money, and faster service with a sales person who was accommodating and pleasant to coordinate the request. Plain and simple, go elsewhere for your engraving needs; you'll be happier you did. (Unfortunately, you have to give one star in order to post the review - should be a zero
