Custom Engraved Slate Gifts & Signs

The material

• Natural quarried slate, dark grey to near-black, with the naturally cleft edge left intact so each piece keeps its stone character.
• Felt feet or backing where it's needed, so nothing scratches a table or a wall.
• Slate is stone, so no two pieces are identical.
• Slight variation in tone, thickness, and edge is part of what makes it look like material rather than product.

The range

Tell us the piece and size you have in mind, or tell us the occasion and budget and we'll suggest something.

• Standing signs. Small slates with an easel, for desks, counters, reception areas, and table numbers.
• Hanging plaques. Rounds, ovals, and rectangles on cord or wire. Housewarming gifts, family name signs, bar signage.
• Cheese and serving boards. Larger slates for the table, often paired with a knife set. A reliable wedding and client gift.

What etches well

• Etching is single-tone, so photographs and full-color artwork don't translate.
• Very fine hairline detail can also get lost in the stone's texture, more so than on bamboo.
• Send us your file and we'll tell you honestly how it'll come out.
• Logos and crests. The white-on-black contrast makes a mark look engraved into a building.
• Names and dates. Weddings, housewarmings, memorials, anniversaries.
• Bold line art and lettering. Slate favours confident, clean shapes.

Names cost nothing extra

• Each piece is etched individually, so a different name on every one costs the same as repeating a single logo across the run.
• Wedding parties, staff gifts, and table numbers for an event are the usual suspects.
• Send us the list with your artwork.

Every order is quoted

• Piece, size, etching area, and quantity all move the number, and larger runs cost meaningfully less.
• Slate gifts pair naturally with our slate coasters if you want a matched set.
• Tell us what you need and we'll price it exactly.
