As a former international competitive shooter for the Army National Guard’s shooting team, I have an appreciation for precision and professionalism, which carries over to engraving firearms. We would be honored to work with you from the beginning processes of the design, placement, size, and type of engraving, right up to the completion of the project, where you’re pleased with the customization.
Our local customer base comes from southwestern Washington and northern Oregon. We also serve customers across the continental US. As a small business, we focus on our customers’ projects to complete them in a timely manner, and we receive regular feedback about excellent customer service. We look forward to working with you to create personalized, high-quality engravings for your firearms, parts, gear, and more.
Understanding Laser Engraving and What We Offer
At The Warrior Solution, we utilize advanced computer-controlled fiber laser technology to deliver precise and detailed engravings. Our fiber laser engraver is capable of marking a wide range of laserable materials, offering intricate patterns on metal, polymer, plastic, and ceramic. Our laser engraver delivers etching precision that captures even the most complex designs and details, making your items truly unique.
We specialize in engraving firearms, parts, accessories, knives, and similar metal-based items. Our fiber laser does a great job marking and engraving stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper, titanium, gold, silver, and more. We can also etch plastics, polymers, and some composites. From simple etches that change the color of the item to deeper two-dimensional designs, we’ve got you covered.
We also have a selection of 22 oz tumblers and slate coasters on hand, ready to personalize, as well as several of our own unique designs for you to check out. If you already have a tumbler or other item you’d like us to customize, reach out to us, and we’ll be happy to make it uniquely yours.
Here are just a few of the items we can laser engrave for you:
- Firearms (including frames, receivers, suppressors, etc – we have an FFL and WA firearms dealer license)
- Knives
- Anodized aluminum parts
- Industrial tags and labels
- Metal parts and tools
- Automotive components
- Trophies, plaques, and awards
- Watches and jewelry
- Metal business cards
If you have a local business in Battle Ground, Vancouver, Portland, or any of the surrounding areas, we would love to work with you to create your own custom engraved products! These could be simple promotional items, gifts for customers, or your own made-to-order product sold in your own store.Â
Thousands Of Designs And Fonts to Choose
Sometimes, our customers have an idea for an engraving that isn’t completely fleshed out yet. We love working with customers to help develop their vision and make something completely custom for them. We have thousands of different pre-made designs you can choose from as well as endless fonts. Some engravers only offer a few different fonts, but the capabilities of a laser that is USB computer-controlled are effectively endless. Granted, some fonts look better laser engraved than others, but you get the idea. We can engrave any font or design you’d like.Â
We have everything from animal designs to zombies, so feel free to check out our online design library to get some inspiration for your project.

What Can and Can't Be Engraved
Our laser engraver is great for etching and engraving metals, polymers, plastics, stone, and more. However, not all materials are currently suitable for laser engraving from The Warrior Solution. For example, we don’t currently have a C02 laser, which is ideal for engraving glass, wood, and other natural materials. This may change in the future, but at the moment, we aim to be your ideal source for firearms, accessories, knives, swords, and similar metal engravings. We can offer general guidance, if needed, to assess whether your chosen material is fiber laser engraving-friendly.
A couple things to note regarding designs: our laser is not a colorful paintbrush. We cannot make part of the engraving a special color with the laser, while another part is a different color. (We are working on adding Cerakote to our list of services, and then we’ll be able to Cerakote any color you’d like with the engraving.) We are also not interested in engraving any nudity or sexualized designs. If you wouldn’t want your wife or daughter to see it, please don’t ask us to engrave it.
Pricing Estimates and Engraving Options
Engraving Services Start At $35
Pricing for laser engraving services varies, depending on factors such as material type, complexity of the design, and size of the object. Basic names and dates or simple logos and patterns are generally priced lower, while more complex designs, involving high-detail logos or designs, naturally cost more. To give you a rough idea, basic engravings on small items like jewelry or simple items like drinkware start at $35, while larger projects requiring more design and engraving time range higher. I generally hate the idea of hiding behind an “ask for a quote” button, but it’s hard to nail down exact blanket pricing when each item and engraving range is significantly different. Our minimum price per order is $35. On the other end of the spectrum, if you want your 1911 handgun to have deeply engraved scrolls and filigree to look like a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, it would cost several hundred dollars.
If you do not already have a digital file of your artwork for engraving, there may be a design fee in addition to the engraving cost. If your design is vector-based (Adobe Illustrator, .SVG, .EPS) and fully ready for laser engraving, there would not be an artwork prep fee. If the design is fairly simple, we may offer to waive the fee. (I hate fees.) If the design is super complex, requiring that we spend several hours at the computer to make the design ready for engraving, there would be a one-time design fee, starting at $40 (per design). Once the design is ready to engrave, it can be used on any future projects with no additional design fee.
What I can say for sure on pricing is that we don’t charge any kind of price per letter or price per line nonsense. Pricing is based on how many setups we have to do to get the job done, the overall size of the design, the general nature of the project, and the amount of time it will take to prep the artwork to engrave it. A setup involves mounting several reference jigs, aligning the item, making sure the item is perfectly perpendicular to the laser lens, and that the laser is in focus to achieve the engraving. If you have something to engrave in one place, that would be one setup and one simple price. Going back to that fancy one-of-a-kind 1911 example, it would be multiple complex setups to engrave each different area of the frame and slide, which would inherently increase the cost. The design fee for a full custom 1911 is also more than the base design fee of $40 to cover the extra time, tools, and expertise required for the project.
Why Choose The Warrior Solution For Laser Engraving?
For starters, we are a local “mom and pop” shop (minus the kids), based in Battle Ground, WA. We are a veteran-owned small business, and our attention to detail is exceptional with both of us involved and having high standards for our work. We use precision machined jigs, machining blocks, and calipers to make sure everything is centered, square, plumb, etc. If you happen to be in the shop when I’m positioning your project engraving, I’ll happily have you double-check my work and make any suggestions to make sure you are 100% happy with it before engraving.
In addition to the level of precision we strive for in our work, we are still human. If we make an error or if you aren’t happy with the work, we will fix it, replace it, consult with you, and do our absolute best to make it right, so you are pleased with the customer service and outcome.
To put it simply, we wouldn’t have a business without happy customers. Due to the nature of being in the firearm business, we don’t have a lot of the traditional advertising methods available to us that other businesses do. We rely heavily on our customers, talking to their friends and family with referrals for us. We understand that our reputation is our lifeblood, and we want to do great work.
Bulk Orders and Business to Business Pricing Available
If you own your own business or have a large number of items you need to engrave, please reach out via email for a customized quote. The larger the quantity of items, the cheaper the cost per item becomes. This is because of the setup process I mentioned earlier. I can build a jig for repeatable outcomes, which drastically cuts down on the setup time between parts to help the process move along more smoothly and quickly, saving me time and you money! Some examples for this would be industrial tags, QR codes on products, names or business info on tools, etc.
Whether you’re looking for laser engraving services for a law enforcement agency, fire department, government entity, large company, or you’re a small business like us, we would love to work with you. For government orders and inquiries, our CAGE code is 9RNP9, and our FFL is 9-91-011-07-6D-15376.
