Trade Engraving

Trade Engraving is a family-run engraving and printing business in Cradley Heath, West Midlands. Its website states that it has operated since 1965. It produces corporate gifts, awards, labels and signage at its workshop, with laser engraving, rotary engraving, UV printing and CNC machinery in-house.

Its gift service covers single presentation pieces through to bulk promotional runs for client thank-yous, staff recognition, onboarding packs and events. Buyers can order items with company logos, recipient names, dates or wording. The website offers online configuration and quantity pricing, alongside enquiries for bespoke work.

Gift products and decoration

The glassware collection includes whisky tumblers, gin balloons, pint glasses, wine glasses, champagne flutes, cocktail glasses, tankards and glass mugs. In-house CO2 laser engraving produces a frosted mark by removing a fine layer of the surface. The company states that the engraving is unaffected by commercial dishwashers.

• Water bottles are 500ml double-wall insulated stainless steel, offered in eleven matt colours and engraved through the powder coating.
• Single-bottle pine wine boxes have sliding lids, with UV-printed natural wood or laser-engraved clear or mirror acrylic options.
• Stainless steel hip flasks are 6oz, in brushed silver or matt black, with engraving or UV printing and optional satin-lined gift boxes and funnels.

Display printing and event work

Alongside gifts, Trade Engraving supplies roller banners, printed selfie frames and display boards. Board materials include 4mm Correx, 5mm foam board and 3mm ACM aluminium composite. Boards can be printed single or double sided, up to 2440 × 1220mm, and cut square or to a supplied shape.

Trade accounts and ordering

The corporate gifts service states that buyers approve every job before production starts. PDF or vector artwork is requested where possible. Gift configurators apply volume discounts automatically, while bespoke enquiries receive pricing and a lead time. Approved trade accounts can access trade pricing and 30-day credit.

The board-printing page specifies a standard turnaround of three to five working days, with one- and two-day options. The business delivers across the UK and offers weekday visits to its warehouse showroom.
