Custom Engraving & Apparel

Employee awards, branded glassware, custom hats and apparel, and personalized gifts – designed and produced in-house, right here in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Lanister Works is a small custom shop in Charlotte, NC. We laser-engrave glass, crystal, wood, metal and leather, and we print and press apparel – all of it in-house, which means we control the schedule and we can say yes to jobs other shops turn down.

We work with local businesses on employee recognition, client gifts, and event merchandise, and with individuals on personalized gifts and keepsakes. One piece or two hundred.

Why local matters

We stock locally

Our award and drinkware blanks come from a Charlotte warehouse, not a freight truck from across the country. When you need something in a week, that's the difference between yes and no.
