Corporate & Branded Gifts - Enquire

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 put on a desk - which is the entire reason to spend the money in the first place.

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.

What we make for businesses

• Event gifts - engraved bamboo pens with your logo on one side and each guest's name on the other. Gift and place card in one.
• Client gifts - engraved chopping boards, butcher's blocks, hip flasks and coaster sets. The end-of-year gift that lands better than a bottle of wine.
• Staff recognition - engraved award plaques for long service, graduations, milestones and awards nights.
• Giveaways & conference swag - keyring bottle openers, coasters, bag tags and bookmarks, at volume pricing.
• Photographers & studios - branded USB presentation boxes with your studio logo, to lift your package presentation.

Why New Zealand businesses use us

• Made here. Every item is engraved in Auckland by us. Your gift genuinely is locally made, and you can say so.
• No minimums. Twenty units is a real order. So is four hundred.
• Late guest lists are fine. Names finalised the week before the event? That's most of our corporate work.
• Proof before production. You approve a mock-up on the actual product before anything is engraved.
• Real brand matching. Send your brand guidelines and we'll set your name in your own typeface, not an approximation.

What it costs

We'd rather show you numbers than make you fill in a form to find out whether we're in your budget. These are real indicative per-unit prices, based on jobs we've actually delivered. Final pricing depends on quantity, how many faces we engrave and how complex the artwork is - but you won't be surprised.

Artwork setup is $25 for a standard logo, and it's waived on orders over $500. If you send us your brand guidelines we'll set your name in your actual typeface rather than something close to it.

Typical order sizes: most of our event work lands between $200 and $1,500. The largest single run we've done was 140 double-sided engraved pens; the smallest was 10 recognition plaques. Both got the same attention.
