Custom Engraving

We offer high-quality engraving on a variety of items and materials—glass, plastic, wood, acrylic and more—either purchased in store or brought in by you.

Laser Engraving

Our CO2 laser is a versatile, permanent marking system suitable for a variety of surfaces. It allows us to provide laser engraving, also known as laser etching, in a fraction of the time compared to traditional mechanical engraving.

Sublimation

At Tidey’s North-West, we use colour sublimation to “print” colour directly onto gold, silver, bronze, or white aluminum. Using a heat press and specially formulated toner dye the printing becomes part of the metal’s surface. This process allows us to reproduce full colour logos on products such as name tags and plaques within minutes to create unique and personalized recognition products in a timely fashion.

Traditional Engraving

Our traditional mechanical engraver remains the backbone of Tidey’s North-West. The majority of our repeat business comes from traditional engraving on annual trophies for fantasy leagues, golf tournaments, sailing regattas, little league events and more.

By keeping a record of your past orders such as the materials, shapes and printing designs used, we can often make annual updates for repeat customers without the trophies on hand. This will save you time, while enabling us to deliver a consistent product.

Carry-In Engraving

We are able to engrave a variety of your glass, gold, silver, brass, pewter, leather and wood pieces, such as:

  • Anodized travel mugs & waterbottles
  • Baby gifts

  • Beer mugs

  • Bells

  • Bowls

  • Christening mugs

  • Coin banks

  • Cutting boards

  • Dog tags

  • Glassware

  • Medic Alerts

  • Personal electronics

  • Signet rings

  • Trays

  • Vases

  • Watches

  • Wine glasses

As each piece is unique, bring in your item and we will assess it based on size, shape and material to determine whether the product is suitable for engraving. Then, we will recommend personalization options based on your design ideas.
