Welcome to
All Kustom Made Engraving!

We at A.K.M.E. pride ourselves on providing great customer service along with a high quality product. As a small independent company, we have the opportunity to provide the personal service you won't get from a big corporation. If you don't see what you're looking for on our website don't hesitate to contact us about your project. After all "Kustom Made" is our middle name! 



A.K.M.E. was started by Karen and Shelly, two sisters in Southern California, who shared the desire to put their creative talents to good use. The girls started A.K.M.E. with an idea from their dad to make custom signs for classic car show displays. Once the girls had an engraving machine at their disposal the ideas for other products came non-stop. Even their mom got involved and started a list of things they could engrave. From car and motorcycle displays to toasting glasses, the possibilities became endless. As the girls collaborated on the development of their product line, they realized their distinct and opposing personalities resulted in products that are sure to please even the toughest critics.


At A.K.M.E. your order isn't just a number on a page but an opportunity for us to create a product that will be cherished for years to come.

Shelly had spent the last 18 years working in the retail industry with great success. Although she excelled in the industry, she was looking for a more creative and rewarding career. Her experience as a manager has given her a great understanding of the need for superior customer service. Her management skills have proved effective time and time again even winning her the honor of Store Manger - Rookie of the Year in her district. It is rumored her success is attributed to her ability to boss people around, which is sure to continue now that she works with her sister. (The masses feel this rumor was more than likely started by her sister.)

Shelly is a very talented individual both creatively and mechanically which has proved to be a great asset to her in both her professional and personal lives. Her experience in setup design and displays has given her a great understanding of what appeals to the customer.
