Pantographic Engraving have ticked all the boxes for me. They are polite, attentive, helpful and fast. On receiving my badges and buttons, I was pleasantly surprised by the high standard of the product too. My staff at Exemplar Coaches and Limousines will be wearing their name badges from now on. I highly recommend them.

Presented Pantographic with a challenge: taking images from Google Maps and etching river meanders into timber. Not exactly straightforward, with background noise needing to be filtered out to capture just the meanders. Alex was fantastic to deal with, great communication and responsive to requests for modification. Job now done and being treated with epoxy. A very satisfying experience. Now thinking about how I can work with Pantographic again.
