FAQ

What services do you offer?

We specialize in screen printing, embroidery, laser engraving, and custom awards for all occasions.

Can you personalize items like trophies or gifts?

We offer customization on trophies, plaques, tumblers, and corporate gifts to make each item unique. We cannot engrave solid metals such as brass or stainless steel.

Do you create custom medals for events?

We design and produce high-quality medals in-house for sports, schools, and community events. We can also work with national vendors to create custom embossed medals with your logo if needed.

What types of apparel can you embroider?

We embroider polos, sweat shirts, jackets, hats, bags, uniforms, and more to help your team or brand stand out.

What is the difference between laser engraving and diamond drag engraving?

Laser engraving uses a focused beam of light to burn or vaporize material, allowing for detailed designs and even photos on various surfaces. Diamond drag engraving, on the other hand, uses a diamond-tipped tool to physically scratch into metal, creating deeper, shinier lines ideal for text and logos. For assistance with these items, we can refer you to someone who has the proper equipment!

Where are you located and what areas do you serve?

We’re based in Urbandale, IA and proudly serve the Greater Des Moines Area. We are happy to help anyone in need of our services, regardless of location.
