The Engraving Shoppe · North Bay, Ontario Engraved for your team, the wedding, the office, the job site and Dad.

Custom engraving, awards, printing and signage, designed, proofed and produced in our own North Bay shop and shipped across Canada.

01Why we do this

Most objects are ordinary until someone adds a name, a date or a few words that matter.

The Engraving Shoppe (TES) is a custom engraving and print shop at 189 Janice St in North Bay, Ontario. We make trophies, medals and plaques for sports leagues and schools, recognition awards and branded products for businesses, personalized gifts for life's big moments, and durable identification plates for industrial sites. Every personalized order is designed, proofed and produced in our own shop, and we ship across Canada.

A beer mug becomes his mug. A plaque becomes proof that someone's work was noticed. A medal becomes the thing a nine-year-old won't take off for a week.

Some orders are wedding gifts and some are made in memory of someone. Others are 40 hockey medals needed by Saturday. We give each one the same attention, as if we were making it for someone we know.

04Working with us

From idea to finished piece.

  1. Tell us your idea. A logo, a sketch, a few lines of text or a rough idea is enough to start.

  2. We design it. Our team lays out your text and artwork. You don't need to be a designer.

  3. You approve a proof. Every personalized order gets a visual proof. Nothing is engraved until you've said yes.

  4. We produce it. Production happens in our North Bay shop on professional equipment.

  5. Pick up or ship. Collect your order at 189 Janice St, or we'll ship it anywhere in Canada.

You can also bring your own item to personalize. Just check with us first that the material is suitable.

05Our team

A small team, on purpose.

The person who answers your call is often the person who works on your order. That's why we can say yes to unusual requests, from coaches' gifts to office decor to a custom bass drum skin for a local musician's show.

We work with sports leagues and clubs, schools and associations, local businesses, mining and trades companies, and anyone looking for a gift with a story behind it. If you're unsure what to write, which font to choose or which product will work, we'll give you an honest opinion.
