The Special Occasion Specialists
We are here to cheer you on (between 8.30am and 5.30pm, Monday to Friday), as you shine in your own special, unique way.
Engraving Systems is a family-owned and operated business, located in the Whangarei CBD, Northland. It has successfully served Northland from there since the 1980’s.
We provide a range of engraving services from sublimation, to laser, to CNC, and rotary engraving. Our location has a showroom on site that stocks a range of products we sell to cover just about any event, sport or activity, from trophies and figurines to cups and giftware. If we don’t have the exact right item in store for you, chances are we know who (in Whangarei) does.
We also work with personal items, be it a priceless sentimental heirloom, or a keepsake (like a blown piston getting turned into a Car Show Award).
Feel free to bring your items in for advice and a no-obligation estimate, and we will see what we can do to manifest your vision. Whether you are looking for a simple plaque to a custom one-off piece, we have the flexibility to accommodate your needs. We appreciate a challenge too!
Our team of all-star technicians listed below are able to tackle just about anything you can throw at them:
Grant is our head engraving wizard, with over 30 years industry experience in trophy repair and engraving. He can solve most engraving riddles for you.
Mike is our production all-rounder, our team “impact player”. With over 10 years of industry experience, he can repair most trophies and operate any of our engraving equipment, from our engraving machines to our lasers, our sublimation desk, and graphic design. He also looks after all of our inbound goods and makes sure all of the things we order in for you are placed with the rest of your order in the work-flow so that it all gets done in time. His birds-eye view of engraving production and his extensive general knowledge allows him to fulfil the role of engraving technical advisor to our Customer Service staff. This all helps to ensure your order is produced in a complete and timely manner.
Adam is our laser and computer technician. His expertise are invaluable in helping us get as much production for as little cost as possible from our engraving departments. He is principally employed in our laser department but his technical skills are transferable into other engraving disciplines too. There are others operating laser engraving machines in the Northland region who value and rely on his advice when it comes to laser repair, maintenance and operation. He is also valuable in our graphic design department.
Matthew is our new “impact player-in-training”. His background in timber joinery means we have new talent to bolster our ability to produce a showroom finish on wooden trophies.
Kate is our all-rounder. She can do any job in the entire business, from engraving to laser, to sublimation, to quality assurance, to accounts, and to Customer Service. She oversees most things in production, is especially interested in quality assurance, and that customers are happy with the work.
