You would be surprised at how often we receive orders with large amounts of text. When we first started engraving, it seemed that people would request us to engrave a name & date, perhaps a line saying Congratulations or Happy Birthday. However now the trend is definitely towards longer texts.

March 14th, 2014 by Andre Nehme
With Administrative Professionals Day coming up soon, Wednesday April 23, I became curious how the day was started and when. I wasn’t surprised to learn that it was started in 1952 to recognize secretaries, perhaps I have been watching too any episodes of “Mad Men” but I assumed that the fifties were the golden age of the secretary.

They are truly remarkable machines. [...]Read More Feb
