Etchline NYC in Action

Real clips and photos from live engraving moments — so you can see how Etchline NYC actually feels in the room, not just in styled photos. You’ll see guests of all ages — adults, children, and toddlers alike — reacting in real time as their pieces are engraved.

We’re still gathering media from recent events, so this gallery will keep growing with highlights from the Brooklyn Navy Yard Holiday Market, City Point’s Holiday-Topia, Etchline Cares classroom workshops, private family parties and more. These moments are the heartbeat behind both our on-site engraving stations and future Etchline Cares classroom workshops.

Brooklyn Holiday-Topia at City Point

BKLYN Holiday-Topia at City Point brought families to Downtown Brooklyn for Santa photos, seasonal activities, and on-the-spot personalization.

Etchline NYC hosted a live engraving moment where adults, children, and toddlers alike selected a holiday keepsake and watched their engraving appear in real time on our enclosed laser machine.

Wallabout Wonderland Holiday Market at the Brooklyn Navy Yard

A live engraving station at the Wallabout Wonderland Holiday Market at the Brooklyn Navy Yard — a holiday market spanning nearly two football fields of makers and vendors. We personalized holiday ornaments and slate coasters on the spot as guests chose names, short messages, or simple designs and watched as the laser “zapped” their engravings into place.


Video and photos from this event highlight how a compact engraving set-up can fit into a family-friendly holiday market while still feeling polished and inviting.


This Family Corner activation was also featured by Brooklyn Bridge Parents, who captured photos of kids and families creating their own engraved ornaments and keepsakes.

NYC Human Resources Administration – Office of Child Support Services (OCSS) Fundraiser

A live engraving experience for the NYC Human Resources Administration Department of Social Services Office of Child Support Services (OCSS) fundraiser at 4 World Trade Center. We personalized keepsakes for staff and supporters to celebrate the work they do for NYC families, adding a thoughtful, memorable touch to the event.

These clips and photos show how an Etchline NYC engraving station can support mission-driven events and staff appreciation gatherings with personalized gifts that people actually want to keep and use.

Etchline Cares Classroom Workshops

Etchline Cares brings a portable, classroom-safe laser engraving station into NYC public schools so students — especially neurodivergent students — can design, watch the laser in action, and take home something they truly made themselves.

This section will grow with real classroom moments from Etchline Cares workshops — sketches turning into bookmarks, ornaments, tags, and achievement tokens that students are proud to keep or gift to someone important in their lives.
