Customizing

Creative Product Design...

Everyone at Winning Edge, Inc. plays a creative role in product design. From Customer Service to Production, our staff and artisans are highly trained and experienced in the award making business. We are an Employee Owned company, and every one of us takes pride in our contribution. We work together to ensure that your awards are as creative as they can be and of the highest possible quality. All of our products are made and assembled by hand in our factory in the United States. Below you will find a sampling of the many processes we use to make awards.

Screen
Printing

Screen Printing

Logos, names, copy, and graphics can be applied in vivid color to almost any flat surface. We feature screen printed stone, glass, metal, handmade paper, wood panels, and mats. We also use screen printing to apply corporate logos on merchandise, packaging, and other applications.

Machine
Engraving

Machine Engraving

With computer generated rotary engraving, we can engrave names, logos, and other information on name plates and a variety of gift items like watches, pendants, and luggage tags, to name a few. A variety of font styles are available for enhancing the look of rotary engraving.

Laser
Cutting

Laser Cutting

Our laser machine, in combination with state-of-the-art design software, is a very versatile tool in product design. Custom shapes can be cut from wood laminate, acrylics, mats, and more. Graphic designs and personalizations can be lasered directly into surfaces of wood, stone, glass and other materials.

Acid
Etching

Acid Etching

Using a sensitive exposure process and acid baths, name plates and plaques can be etched into magnesium or zinc. A number of creative finishes are available to enhance the color and texture of acid etched metal.

Sandblasting/
Etching

Sandblasting/ Etching

High pressure sand blasting is a process that has many applications. We use it to etch names and copy into a variety of materials, primarily glass and stone.

Glass
Color-Filling

Glass Color-Filling

We call this Glass "Staining", because the end result has a dramatic, stained glass look to it. Unlike the traditional art of stained glass that involves cutting pieces to size and inlaying them into metal borders, our process requires no cutting and no complicated metal structure. After sand blasting a design into glass or crystal, we apply a bright, liquid lacquer that bonds with the sand-etched surface, creating bright and vivid color.

Color
Imprinting

Color Imprinting

Color Imprinting uses special inks, heat and pressure to "imprint" designs directly into the surface of metals, ceramic tiles, glass, fabrics, and more! From simple text to rich, full color photographs, this economical process produces stunning and vibrant color.

Custom
Art Framing

Custom Art Framing

Winning Edge, Inc. has been custom framing Art prints from the very beginning. We have an extensive line of metal, wood and synthetic moulding, representing all major manufacturers. We have a huge inventory of mat board in hundreds of colors. We are an excellent source for framing that involves merchandise catalogues and offerings, travel and destination related prints and framing, and for those custom projects where you desire something very special.

Waterjet

Waterjet technology utilizes a high-pressure stream of water to cut through materials like steel, stone, and glass. It can cut through solid steel up to 3 inches thick! At Winning Edge, Inc., we combine custom graphic design and waterjet to make awards that are innovative and unique.
