JML FAQs

What services do you offer?

At JML Engraving, based in Manhattan, KS, we specialize in custom engraving, sublimation printing, and imprinting services. We proudly serve customers in Topeka, Hutchinson, Wichita, and throughout Kansas, and we can also ship custom orders anywhere in the United States. We engrave and personalize items made of crystal, glass, acrylic, leather, wood, metal, and painted metals.

What is sublimation printing and how is it different from engraving?

Sublimation printing is a process where we use heat to transfer vibrant, full-color designs into the surface of an item, creating long-lasting results. Engraving, on the other hand, removes or etches into the surface to create crisp, permanent text or images. Whether you’re local in Manhattan, Topeka, Hutchinson, or Wichita, or ordering from across the U.S., we’ll help you choose the right process for your project.

What materials can you engrave, imprint, or sublimate?

We work with a wide variety of materials, including: Engraving: glass, crystal, acrylic, wood, leather, metals (painted or bare), plastics, and stone. Sublimation: synthetic fabrics, coated metals, ceramic, acrylic, certain woods, and leather. Imprinting / Embossing: paper, leather, vinyl, wood, plastic, scrapbooks, photo albums, ribbons, matte boards, and embossing foils.

Can you engrave or imprint items I didn’t purchase from you?

Yes! Many of our customers bring in their own items—such as glassware, wood pieces, or keepsakes purchased elsewhere—for us to personalize. As long as the item is a suitable material and size, we’ll do our best to engrave, sublimate, or imprint it.

What kinds of products do you carry?

We stock a wide variety of customizable products for individuals, businesses, schools, and organizations in Manhattan, Topeka, Hutchinson, Wichita, and nationwide: Trophies & Awards for sports teams, corporate events, and ceremonies. Drinkware like tumblers, mugs, and insulated bottles. Coolers, gifts, and office accessories. Military items including coins, flag boxes, shadow boxes, and statues. Promotional products, with more than 650,000 items to choose from.

What is imprinting / embossing?

Imprinting (or embossing) uses heat and pressure to press a design into a material, sometimes with foil accents in gold, silver, or colors. Unlike engraving, which removes material, imprinting reshapes the surface for a textured, decorative effect.

How long will my order take?

We’re known in Manhattan and across Kansas for our fast turnaround times. The completion time depends on the complexity of your design, whether you’re providing your own item, and our production schedule. If you need your project quickly—whether you’re in Topeka, Hutchinson, Wichita, or ordering from another state—just let us know and we’ll do our best to meet your deadline (extra charges may apply).
