Effingham, IL – July 7, 2026 — Personalized gifts and custom engraving are at the center of Design-Engrave, one of the newest members of the Effingham County Chamber.
Owned by Kevin and Kate Baize, Design-Engrave creates custom laser-engraved products for individuals, businesses, and special occasions. From drinkware and home décor to personalized gifts and business items, customers can choose from ready-to-purchase products or work directly with the team to create a one-of-a-kind design.
Inspired by Kevin’s industrial background and Kate’s passion for design and customer service, Design-Engrave was built around the idea of providing personalized products while supporting the shop local movement. The business takes pride in working closely with customers to create pieces that reflect their vision, whether celebrating a milestone, recognizing an employee, promoting a business, or finding the perfect gift.
Design-Engrave will celebrate its Grand Opening on Thursday, July 9, and invites the community to stop by, explore the showroom, and learn more about its custom laser engraving services.
To browse products or learn more about Design-Engrave, visit Design-Engrave.com or their Etsy shop at @DesignEngravecom, or follow on Facebook @Design-Engrave. Customers interested in custom orders are encouraged to contact the business directly to discuss their project.
Design-Engrave recently became a member of the Effingham County Chamber, joining 600 businesses and organizations working together to strengthen the local business community.
