Elite Engraving & Awards

Touch Of Wood and Elite Engraving & Awards, a family-owned and operated business based in Manchester, CT, has been providing exceptional engraving services since 2000. Founded by Ann and Peter, the company initially focused on custom writing and desk instruments manufactured with wood and other unique materials. However, in 2002, when Touch Of Wood stopped producing custom writing instruments, the wood shop was closed, and the company shifted its focus to laser engraving services. In 2010, an acquisition was made, and Elite Engraving & Awards, owned by retiring founder Barry Stearns, was merged into the company. This merger allowed Touch Of Wood to offer a broader range of engraving services and products while maintaining the same high-quality standards that both companies were known for.

Our product offerings from Touch of Wood include laser engraved photographs, custom wood jewelry and ornaments, glass jars, cut glass ornaments, and wood tokens (including our famous "A Round TUIT"). Many of the products we offer were designed and created by Ann, who has an exceptional talent for designing unique and beautiful items. Elite Engraving and Awards offers engraved Trophies, Plaques, and Awards, as well as engraving of metals, glass, and plastics in many styles and finishes. Gift items are also available, including clocks, gavels, desk name plates, name badges, signs, and various other custom products.

At Touch Of Wood and Elite Engraving & Awards, we take pride in offering high-quality traditional forms of modern engraving, including rotary engraving, diamond drag, and hand pantograph engraving. Our commitment to quality and personalized service is unwavering, making us your one-stop-shop for all your engraving needs.
