Search "things engraved Montreal" and the top results are a puzzle: a laser shop that cuts signage, a jewelry engraver, a Yelp list, and the website of a mall chain that closed every Canadian store in January 2020. The searches haven't caught up. People are still looking for a counter that isn't there.
What you actually do next depends on one question: are you engraving something you already own, or buying a finished engraved gift?
The short answer.
Things Engraved closed all 73 of its Canadian stores in January 2020 and now sells online only. In Montreal today, laser studios, jewellers, and trophy shops will engrave an item you bring in. If you want a finished engraved steel tumbler or bottle, order direct from a maker — we engrave to order in our Calgary workshop and ship to Montreal in 1–3 business days, engraving included.
Your four options in Montreal, compared
| Option | Best for | The catch |
|---|---|---|
| Jewelry engravers | Rings, watches, and lockets you already own | Priced per job; most don't sell the item itself |
| Laser and trophy studios | Plaques, awards, signage, bring-your-own items | You supply the item; built for one-off service jobs, not gifts |
| Online gift resellers | Browsing many categories in one place | They resell catalogue goods; the engraving is often the only custom part |
| Order direct from a maker | Finished engraved steel tumblers, bottles, and mugs, shipped to your door | Not same-day: made to order, ships in 1–3 days |
If you're engraving something you already own
Montreal has real service shops built for exactly this. Laser Art MTL and Maison Custom both run laser engraving as a service. Sahara Studios has been engraving in Montreal since 1986 — the trophy-and-awards end of the trade. For jewelry, Flamme en Rose and Véronique Roy both advertise ring and jewelry engraving specifically. If your item is a retirement plaque or a ring that needs a date inside the band, that's a counter job: someone looking at the actual object in front of them.
Call ahead with the material. A laser calibrated for a brass plaque isn't set up the same way for anodized aluminum or powder-coated steel, and a shop quoting your item sight-unseen is guessing.
If you're buying an engraved gift
This is the hole the mall stores left. Things Engraved sold the item and the engraving together — pick a flask, add a name, walk out with a gift. The laser studios and jewellers that rank in its place weren't built for that; they're set up for one-off jobs on items people already have, not a shelf of gifts ready to personalize.
We took the direct route instead. LAMOSE makes the tumblers and bottles ourselves and engraves every order in our Calgary workshop: the laser cuts through the powder coat into bare steel, so the name can't fade, peel, or wash off. Engraving is included, not an add-on. Your order is made when you place it and ships to Montreal in 1–3 business days. 7,577 Etsy reviews sit at 4.9 stars.
Two places to start:
- Grouse 16 oz tumbler, $35. Double-wall 18/8 stainless steel, 6 hours hot, 12 hours cold, wide-mouth flip lid. The everyday cup people keep on their desk.
- Robson 21 oz bottle, $40. 12 hours hot, 24 hours cold, one-hand sport cap. The one that goes from the office to the Mount Royal stairs in the same week.
See the Grouse — or add a name, a date, or coordinates to any piece and it ships engraved.
