The Holiday Season is right around the corner and personalized plaques make terrific gifts–especially for the people on your list that have everything!
Personalized plaques are great as everyone likes to see their name on plaques at a front door, on a Wine Cellar, or for their kids room. Personalized plaques show ownership and affiliation. Personalized plaques show what we love and what is important in our life. That’s why personalized plaques always make great gifts.
When we first started our business 20 years ago, we created kids room plaques for LL Bean. We created a bear plaque, a moose plaque and a dinasour plaque. Our only way to personalize at that time was by hand–my hand! I did the calligraphy on hundreds and hundreds of plaques! We also did plaques for LL Bean-Japan so I had the task of printing lots of Japanese names too.
Nowdays we actually carve the names into the plaque. This creates a very high quality plaque as once we carve the name we then apply a stain which captures the depth of the carved name and it looks fantastic. We also do lots of different fonts and styles so if you want a certain typeface we can probably produce it!
Years ago we did a personalized Tasting Room sign for a catalog company called International Wine Accesssories. It is a beautiful plaque for any wine lover or anyone with a wine cellar. It is one of my favorite Wine pieces even after all these years.
I also carved signs for customers to use their own phrase. This is a great option for anyone with a spiritual sentiment or phrase that defines who they are.
