On-Site Hand Engraving

Create an unforgettable experience with personalised engraving.

A bottle of Calvin Klein Sheer Beauty perfume placed on a white surface with sunlight creating a shadow and reflections. The name Milly is hand engraved on it in a modern calligraphy style.

Custom hand engraving adds a touch of artistry and sophistication to any special event. With a small portable micro-drill I can hand engrave custom calligraphy messages on glass, selected metals and more on-site at your store or event space!

The engraved messages are finished with silver or gold permanent paint, carefully matched to your brand aesthetic. Thus, the engraved items are transformed into personalised keepsakes your customers won’t be able to resist.
