Take a walk through your home. Note the engraved mementos from company tumblers and work name tags to elementary school soccer trophies. These unique keepsakes enhance both our personal and professional lives, and Crown Trophy in Arvada is here to provide them with a distinctly individualized touch.

Nowadays, product engraving is available online from corporate giants like Amazon. However, ordering online from a massive seller can have significant limitations. Some sites offer a limited amount of fonts or design options which does not allow for the personal attention and artistry that Crown Trophy prides itself on providing. “We're able to really sit down with our clients, design exactly what they're looking to do, and take pride in our artwork and our quality,” owner Marshall Movius says.

Marshall has been in the business for decades. When Marshall was nine years old, his father began a Crown Trophy business out of their garage in Highlands Ranch. Then they opened the first shop in Littleton. Growing up, Marshall would work with engraved plates to earn his privilege to watch The Simpsons. Marshall branched Crown Trophy out to Arvada in 2009. Now, he’s been in the business over three-quarters of his life and is continuing to serve the community with artfully engraved products.

Don’t let the name fool you; Crown Trophy offers far more than just a wide array of trophies. Whether you need wedding wine glasses or personalized desk accessories, they provide a solution to nearly every engraving need.

For corporate products, Crown Trophy creates custom name tags, plaques, drinkware, awards, and more. Individuals and families can enjoy products like personalized cutting boards, ornaments, picture frames, and even deeply personal items like memorials. “People are just blown away with some of the products that we're able to create for them,” Marshall says. Next holiday, consider celebrating and appreciating your loved ones with a thoughtful engraved gift. For an anniversary or Valentine’s Day, a custom frame with a personal engraving is the perfect memento to display a photo of you and your partner. For Father’s Day, a custom glass set is great for whiskey or beer-loving dads.

If you are looking for an award, Crown Trophy offers a huge range of types and designs. They have championship cups, specialty sculpture awards, plaques, belts, rings, and other options.

The staff at Crown Trophy guides you through the product design process to make your vision a tangible reality. Interacting with real experts in the field allows you to customize and adjust your design to fit exactly what you’re looking for, which is far more difficult to accomplish while using an online service. “What someone is envisioning in their mind is sometimes difficult to convey to a computer or to a website,” Marshall explains. “We really want to make sure that our customers are happy,” he adds.

Recently, the business has noticed a sharp increase in corporations requesting engraved products for employees. Perhaps the COVID-19 pandemic inspired companies to up incentives in order to retain new hires, or maybe the spirit of giving is in the air. Either way, receiving a Yeti tumbler with your company logo or a custom name tag is a welcome surprise for any employee.

Crown Trophy’s mission is genuine and customer-centric. Marshall aims to have customers come back happy and satisfied with their order. “Getting those kinds of responses really allows us to feel good at what we're doing,” he says. Their services allow them to flex creatively and express artistry while crafting unique products designed to be cherished.
