Award Engravers, Gisborne

Our Mission
Our mission catchphrase sums up what influences everything we do and how and why we do it: - “Working with you to provide custom engraving designed for your unique needs.”

This means we work alongside our clients to discuss and advise what will work best in their situation. Whether it is engraving or dye sublimation, they all require the input of both ourselves and the customer.

We help with suggestions and ideas from our years of experience. But in the end it is the customer who makes the final decision.

How We Began
We started out as picture framers…
Award Engravers And Framers was established in 2006 firstly as a picture framing business trading as Lifestyle Picture Framers. We saw a need for providing a custom picture framing service that would cater exactly to the unique needs of every individual. There are so many pictures that need more than just a basic ready made frame to do them justice.

We branched out into engraving…
In 2008 we added an engraving service to our business. As a result our business trading name was updated to Lifestyle Picture Framers & Engravers. We began with just a couple of basic manual pantograph machines. However, these machines were rather limiting in what they could do. We could engrave on most surfaces but the slow pace just didn’t make it practical. They were really only suitable for trophy engraving. Our main customers were sports clubs and schools that needed trophies engraved annually.

We expanded our engraving capacity…
We wanted to provide an engraving service that could cater for the unique needs of every type of customer. So, in 2011 we purchased 2 computerised engraving machines. One machine has a cylinder attachment. This enables us to do cylindrical items like glasses and trophy cups. The other machine is a flatbed machine. We use this machine for engraving items such as signs, labels and name badges. This machine is also capable of engraving a matrix which means it
