Our Custom Engraving
Process.
Founded in Palmetto, Fl. in 2026, Shepherd Etching & Engraving runs every job — retail or industrial — through the same disciplined process.
- Phase
Consultation
Bring or ship us your object — or describe what you need built. We discuss material, mark style, depth, and quantity. No quote until we understand the work.
- Phase
Proof & Layout
We render a 1:1 layout with exact placement, font, and depth. Nothing touches your material until you sign off on the proof.
- Phase
Marking
Your piece is fixtured, calibrated, and run on the appropriate system — laser flats or rotary. Tolerances held to ±0.05mm.
- Phase
Inspection & Finish
Every piece is hand-finished, inspected, and packed for transport. Backed by our permanence guarantee.
- Phase
Follow Up
After delivery, we check in to confirm the work met your expectations and document the job for any future reorders.
