Most branded merchandise arrives in a box, gets handed out, and is in a bin by Friday. Engraved timber doesn't work like that - it gets kept, used and left on a desk, which is the entire reason to spend the money.
We engrave corporate gifts in our own Auckland workshop for New Zealand businesses, agencies and event organisers. No offshore lead times, no 500-unit minimums, and no set-up fee hiding at the bottom of the quote.
Late guest lists are fine. Names finalised the week before the event is most of our corporate work, because we engrave here rather than overseas.

Common questions
Is there a minimum order?
No. Twenty units is a real order and so is four hundred. Volume pricing starts from around 25 units on most items.
Can you match our brand guidelines?
Yes. Send your guidelines and we'll set your name in your actual typeface rather than something close to it. We've done this for brands with strict specs.
Can every item have a different name on it?
Yes, and it's never an extra charge per unit. It takes a little longer to produce, that's all.
How quickly can you turn an order around?
It depends on the item and the quantity, and we'd rather tell you honestly than promise blind. Send us your deadline with your enquiry and we'll tell you straight away whether it's possible.
Do you invoice, or do we pay upfront?
We invoice on corporate orders. Tell us your PO or billing requirements when you enquire.
Can we get a sample first?
On larger orders, yes. We'd rather you saw it than took our word for it.
