Diamond-drag is a type of engraving which is also called 'scratch' engraving. This technique is used a lot on jewelry and can engrave on materials such as aluminum, gold and silver. Imagine a drill bit that you need to use to screw on a shelf to the wall. This drill bit needs to be attached to a drill tool for this to work.
Laser Engraving is the process of using an industrial laser to mark or burn away material. Our lasers are set up to engrave on acrylic awards, leather, coated metal, wood, paper, plastics, and other organically derived materials. They are also set up to cut acrylic, leather, wood, paper, plastics, and many organically derived materials.
Etching is an engraving process that uses abrasive material or acid to etch the surface. This method creates a surface etching with a nice uniformed frosted look similar to Sand Carving, but it is much shallower. It is generally considered a surface mark. Etching can be a great option when engraving logos on metal products such as knife blades or other odd shaped items.

Absolutely fabulous. Placed a rush order on Wednesday, was ready for pick up the following day. Slight miscommunication and an item was missed - they were gracious enough to give me the larger item at no extra cost. So worth the money and time spent - I feel seen and taken care of as a customer. Thank you Tempe Trophy!!

Disclaimer: I am not writing this review as a paying customer. I had a ton of my and my family's trophies that were collecting dust and really wanted to donate them to a place that would recycle them. I reached out to every trophy shop in the valley and Tempe Trophy was the only one to respond to my inquiry (and quickly!). They not only accepted them but were so sweet and helpful when I dropped them off. Five stars!

I wouldn't go anywhere else to get my engravings done! Working with Tempe Trophy was fantastic! The whole experience was personal to me and my project. We were able to really get to know each other in the process and they made sure my project came out exactly as I envisioned. They really showed that they cared about the quality of their service/end product and I am so happy with the outcome. A special thanks to Connie and Jason, they're the best!

Tempe Trophy embossed my Grandson’s name on a leatherette music folder. It was beautifully done, and a Christmas hit with a young man who is so difficult to shop for. I had contact with three staff members who couldn’t have been more helpful. I am a retired teacher and knew about Tempe Trophy, but did not realize they could do much more than trophies. They are wonderful. Safe set-up for Covid, and treated my “small” job with all the care of a million dollars. For big or small jobs, all we need is Tempe Trophy!

We echo the rave reviews for Tempe Trophy's outstanding customer service and professionalism. We ordered 9 engraved plaques that we planned to put on our own wooden backgrounds. As so often the case, we got our order in late, but Tempe Trophy was not phased and had the materials ready when we needed them. They even offered to attach the plaques for us! What a load off as we prepared for our annual meeting. Thank you TT!!

The laser engraving is very professional looking. I am very pleased how my three AR15 receivers look. They engraved 3 lines. Looks really sharp. Does not need refinishing.
I also had them engrave a shotgun. Looks very sharp as well.
These projects are for short barrel rifles and short barrel shotgun compliance. Highly recommended.

I recently brought them a 25 year old trophy that we have been using for an annual golf outing to basically be completely refurbished. After sharing some ideas back and forth with the owner (sorry, can't remember his name) we went ahead with the project.
Simply put:
- The work they did was fantastic and exceeded my expectations.
- The cost was very reasonable.
What more can you ask?
If you need trophy work, this is your place!
Thanks to the entire crew at Tempe Trophy for bringing our raggedy trophy to "elite" Status!

Makes me sad because I went here based on the amazing reviews I found on Yelp. The experiences the others had were not to be had by me. I had two military-like dog tags I wanted engraved - each was going to have a $12.95 "set up fee" plus the engraving because I was bringing my own item and if they needed to replace it, they needed to cover the cost of replacement. Well, that "set up fee" was 10 times what I paid for each item. Additionally frustrating, was that I was not provided with an alternative solution. If you don't want to do the work, just tell me...don&apos

Great Value! Fast! Friendliest Service EVER! Amazing Work! Simply, THE BEST.
I used Tempe Trophy for engraving different items for years at their old location. They are just as great at their new location on Baseline. I can't emphasize enough how nice and helpful Connie is. I always laugh when she tells me apologetically that the items won't be done the same day, but that it will take a day or two. WOW! Most custom work takes a week or two anywhere else. The prices are just as great- other shops will nickel and dime you with Set Up Fees and other charges; not here though. The end product

I had a pretty cool idea for a Christmas present, and walked in with kind of an awkward and obscure request. I spoke with one of the owners, her name eludes me, but she was absolutely helpful and hilarious. The prices were reasonable, and if I ever need another trophy I'll be sure to come here. They do great work and are great people!

I'm so happy I found Tempe Trophy!
I was on a mission to have a single letter engraved on a small brass padlock. I started at Things Remembered, they wanted an 18$ fee for bringing in my own item. I visited 8 other engraving shops around the valley, who either wanted large set up fees or straight up refused to engrave my piece.
I called over to Tempe Trophy and spoke to a delightful woman, who not only told me she'd be happy to engrave my item, but that they'd do it for a minimal fee.
When I arrived at the shop on the corner of Baseline and Ash, I was greeted with a smile
