I use them for all of my plaques for our church. They are quick but careful. They even help with proper wording.

Setting up the order was easy. The staff was friendly. The only reason I didn't go 5 stars is because the waiting area is filthy. I was a bit worried I was going to get sick. If they cleaned it twice a year I'd be surprised. But the quality of the trophy we received was top notch. So, they deliver a good product. You just may want to literally have them deliver.

This is a very friendly place to order trophies. They are family owned and very helpful and accommodating. I bring all my award needs to them even though I have to drive 25mins to get there.

The folks at Custom Engraving are extremely easy to work with. I had several edits to my original nametag design and they were incredibly flexible and helpful through the whole process. We will continue to use them for future products, and recommend them to anyone looking for engraving.
