The Engraver's Reference Engraving and personalisation reference

Presentation

Business gifts and awards: what makes an engraved object worth keeping, and the UK rules that sit behind corporate gifting.

There is a category of engraved object whose only job is to be kept. It has no function, it identifies nothing, and it succeeds or fails entirely on whether the recipient still has it in ten years.

  • Business gifts — including the UK tax and VAT rules that quietly shape what companies give.
  • Awards and trophies — materials, sub-surface laser work, and why some awards survive a house move.
