The
company....
Custom
Trophy & Engraving is
a full service awards and custom engraving and design shop based in
Missoula, MT, USA. We primarily specialize in laser-produced plaques
and plastic and metal signage. Trophies, laser glass etching, and
ribbon awards are other areas of expertise. We have been in business
for over 20 years, and serve the local community, as well as business,
and organizations across the country. Custom Trophy & Engraving is
a member of ARA (the Awards and Recognition Association).
Typically, a customer will bring us an idea of what he or she wants.
Our staff works with the customer to come up with a custom design (such
as a plaque, name tag, trophy, etc.), which might include artwork
provided by the customer or produced in-house. We strive to create the
most unique, interesting product which fits the customer's needs. The
typical customer (such as the leader of a local Boy Scout troop) might
need a few dozen awards, and have a fixed budget to work with. We have
an excellent reputation for producing quality awards that will look
great hanging on a wall for years to come, and don't cost an arm and a
leg!!!
Our
location...
We
can be found in Missoula,
Montana, in the heart of the beautiful Rocky Mountains. Missoula is a
small city, known as the Garden City for its lush appearance in the
springtime. The surrounding area is sometimes called the "Five Valleys"
because of several river confluences. Missoula is a major regional
transportation hub, and is also home to many businesses and employers
including the U.S. Forest Service, the University of Montana, and the
states best Internet provider, Internet Connect Services. There are
many outdoor recreational activities in and around Missoula (like
hiking, biking, rafting, skiing, hunting, etc.) and a lot of
interesting cultural events as well (local symphonies and chorales,
museums, music festivals, and so on).
Our
equipment
and
staff...
Most
of our engraving work is
done with high-tech computerized engraving machines, which are
basically plotters that uses a laser beam instead of an ink pen. This
allows us the flexibility to produce clean, durable designs in wood,
plastics, glass, and metals. When a customer provides us with
camera-ready artwork (such as a company logo), we clean it up, and add
it to our extensive computer database. Some
customers will also design their own artwork, and provide it in an
electronic format.
In addition
to the design and engraving, our
staff often spend long hours assembling the product, attaching metal
plates to wood plaques, building trophies, putting backings and
fasteners on name tags, and applying various polishes and finishes at
the end. This allows us to find any mistakes we might have made (well,
nearly all of them) and make corrections before the order is shipped
out or the customer picks it up. Don't worry... if we make a mistake on
our end, we'll fix it for free!
