Purchasing engraved products is becoming much more popular as the days go by. But why is this the case? What has changed to make people more drawn towards these goods?

It seems to be that people are more drawn towards engraved products more than before. This is mainly due to the fact that people are now allowing you to personalise engraved goods. It was always a popular choice to purchase engraved goods when you had been on holiday, for more of a memorable gift. However, now people are offering personalisation it is more appealing all year round. For special occasions, we see personalised gifts as being the best choice for the extra sentiment. This is why they have become more popular and why engraving businesses are taking off. This new way of engraving goods has helped these companies to grow in outstanding ways.

Have you ever wondered how products are engraved and whether you could make a successful business selling personalised products? 

Firstly you need a product idea and consider your market.  Equipment to engrave on a large scale is very expensive and ultimately can prove too costly to purchase if you are considering a small scale business.   There are options to rent engraving machines.  

The opportunities  to earn money engraving is endless from baby christening items, jewellery, pens, glassware, mirrors to wood, leather and acrylic.  

 Products can be sold in bulk or as individual personalised items.  They are many platforms in which to sell.  The internet is a great marketplace with a far reaching audience.  Craft fairs, boutique shops and markets are other great place to sell individual unique piece. 

If you plan to engrave as a hobby there are craft engravers you can purchase from craft stores.  These offer a limited range of engraving techniques. 

There are so many different options for items which can be engraved. One of these items being glass. Whether this is sheets of glass, blocks of glass or glass products. By engraving glass products it allows you to personalise them for anybody’s needs. You can also sell these with lights which will help the personalisation to shine through. Another item which you can engrave is leather. This is excellent for making keyrings. Personalised keyrings are a very popular choice of gift. There are so many options, the designs will be endless allowing people to have a lot of choices. The final object which can be engraved is wood. This is again an excellent material to choose for engraving. Using wood will allow you to create a range of products, from boxes to coasters, the list is endless. You will never run out of ideas. There are so many products which will sell for your business.

Engraved products are becoming more and more popular as time goes by. However it is not always the best idea for a business to sell engraved products.

Businesses should only sell engraved products if they can offer the option to have them personalised. This is because personalised products are becoming much more popular. People want unique, not just generic products. However, you can still offer a selection of generic products, they just may take a while to sell.

I would not recommend you selling engraved products if you can not offer the option of personalisation. This is because personalisation is more popular. You do not want to be left with stock which you have to sell for less money.

Learning how to engrave products yourself will take time and money. If you do not have this extra money then this is not something you need to get into. If you do, then engraving is the way to go for you.

Dog tags are one of the most popular items to be engraved. There are however a few things you will need to consider before engraving dog tags.

The first thing you will need to consider is what you want to be included on the dog tag. The most popular are dogs name, address and owners phone number. They do not all need to be included, however, a must is the owners’ phone number or a simple ‘I’m Microchipped’.
Once you have decided what is going to be engraved on the tag, you will be able to decide the style. There are many different styles of dog tags which you can use. From different shapes and colours. You will just need to ensure all of the information will fit.

Take the time when designing a dog tag to be engraved. Make sure everything is perfect before you make the final product.
