Today Artisan Engraving Supply Company actively imports and exports goods to the international market.


Our Company Philosophy

Our Business Philosophy here at Artisan can best be described by our Motto, "We don't want all the business...Just Yours!". The point, of course, is that we want to treat each Customer as if he is the only one we have. This approach has stood the test of time over 28 years, and if you are not currently one of our customers we would like the opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to this philosophy.


Our History

Artisan Engraving Supply Company was formed in 1980 by Scott and Paula Bradford as a wholesale engraving company. Late in 1981 the company purchased one of the first computerized engraving machines in Texas, and subsequently three more computerized engravers. In 1984 Artisan reinvented itself and became a Distributor and Service Facility for that brand of computer engraver, and later became one of the first companies to sell and service laser engraving systems. In the course of selling and servicing the rotary and laser systems, Artisan began adding supplies, engraving cutters, brass, aluminum, engraving plastic, and accessory equipment (shears, bevelers, corner rounders, saws etc.) to its product line. In 1990 Scott and Paula Bradford made the decision to concentrate on the supply and raw materials side of the business, thereby eliminating computerized equipment from its product line. Today Artisan is a full service Engraving Supply Company dedicated to being there when the customer needs us. Our range of experience from actual production, to distributing machinery, to being an inventory based distributor has given us the experience needed to provide the customer with not only great products, but with solutions for the future!
