Leather products have been around for a long time — well before John Wayne. In the past, marking the leather was typically done by pressure stamping. The unfortunate part of this method was that a physical stamp had to be produced, so hot stamping is good for volume production.

With technology on new laser machines, we can do engrave on one piece of leather now. Leather is not man made, results may be different from piece to piece. The lighter-color leathers typically laser the best. The tanned or stained leather will also produce a decent contrast and appearance. Dark-stained leathers such as black leathers will certainly work, but the appearance of the engraved graphics is very muted. Then we can use color filling to do it.

At Encore Awards, we provide an extensive line of Military Recognition Figures representing all facets of the Armed Forces which includes Army, Marines, Navy and Air Force. Each exquisitely sculpted resin makes any recipient in this category a true American Hero.

Thank you so much for everything you have done for us and our great nation.

From time to time, we were asked to do glass etching on beer mugs, wine glasses, wine bottles. We need to engrave stencil, apply it to the objects, blast it, clean the glass off, then paint it.

Then you will see a beautiful art piece.

High-end and beautiful, glass and crystal make stunning gifts and awards that are treasured by their recipients. Take a look at the crystal clock, using the latest sandcarving equipment to personalize them. We have expanded our crystal clock line with the introduction of five distinctive new crystal clocks with skeleton-style movements. These clocks make a clear statement of success for the ultimate recipients.

When individuality and creativity are reworded with recognition, shouldn’t your awards reflect the same principals? This is why we use top manufacturers. After meticulous detailing in planning, designing, crafting, the awards come as refined art of works. The recipient is unique, so as our award.

You’ve met them. You might even have one. Whether you have a pet or not, you know those people we’re talking about: the pet owners who refer to themselves as pet parents and call their animals their children. There are even “I love my grandpuppy” bumper stickers for that notquite-a-grandmother who is on her way to check on her daughter’s dog.

Dog tag is a great way to show dog and owner’s personality.

Color, gift of color
Make the worlds so bright
Color, gift color
Gonna paint your world tonight

Section 274(j) of the Internal Revenue Code, enacted by the Tax Reform Act of 1986, provides, in general, that an employer may deduct the cost of employee achievement awards given to the same employee up to $400.00 in any year. If the incentive awards are employee achievement awards made under one or more established written plans or programs of the employer, the $400 deduction limitation is increased to $1,600.00 per employee.

Recognition signifies that someone notices and someone cares. It satisfies a person’s essential needs and leads to new motivation, improved performance and higher self-esteem.

Recognition boosts people’s esteem and performance. This is a concept that is as old as Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, which shows that beyond meeting basic safety and belonging needs, all people have self-esteem and self-actualization needs, and need to feel important, satisfied and inspired to perform to the fullest potential.
