Behind the Red Door: How We Make Custom Gifts That Don’t Miss
Ever wondered what goes into your custom-engraved cutting board or that candle bundle that made your client say, “Wait - this is for me?!”
Spoiler alert: it’s not mass-produced. It’s not drop-shipped. And no, there’s no warehouse full of robots here (unless you count our laser machine, and she’s got attitude).
Welcome to The RDE Co Inc - where we turn your thoughtful ideas into unforgettable, engraved gifts with a serious wow factor. Here’s how it all happens.
Step 1: You Choose the Goods
It all starts with you picking the perfect gift - whether it’s a keepsake box, a cutting board, a Kana Candle, or a custom luxe box bundle. You get the fun part: choosing the product, adding personalization, and clicking “checkout” like the gift-giving rockstar you are.
We’ll take it from here.
Step 2: We Get to Work (Like, Immediately)
As soon as your order hits our inbox, we start prepping your product with a laser-focused (pun intended) attention to detail.
That includes:
- Double-checking your custom text
- Prepping digital mockups
- Lining up materials and testing layouts
- Adjusting fonts and design spacing so it doesn’t just look “okay” - it looks amazing
We obsess over the little things so you don’t have to.
Step 3: The Laser Show Begins
Here’s where the magic (and the hum of our laser) happens.
Each product is engraved in-house, right here in beautiful Oro-Medonte, Ontario. No outsourcing. No shortcuts. Just clean, deep engraving that feels luxe and lasts forever.
If it’s not perfect, it doesn’t leave the bench. Period.
Step 4: Packaging Like a Boss
Once your piece is engraved, it heads into our packaging zone - where the “wow” factor gets wrapped up with a bow (okay, maybe not always a bow, but definitely premium presentation).
We use:
- Luxe packaging with natural textures and materials
- Branded elements that keep your gift feeling personal and professional
- Optional add-ons like notes, gift tags, and keepsake fillers
Everything’s hand-packed with the same care we’d give a gift to our own mom. Because, well... that’s how gifting should be.
Step 5: Shipping It Straight to Their Door (or Yours)
Local pickup? Done. Shipping across Canada? Absolutely.
We make sure your gift arrives ready to impress - whether it’s going to a new homeowner, a top client, or your best friend with incredible taste.
What Makes RDE Co Different?
We’re not a factory. We’re a small (but mighty) team who cares a lot about details, design, and how your recipient feels when they open their box.
We’re brand-safe for professionals and bold enough for the people who love to give gifts with style.
Because at RDE Co, every engraved piece tells a story - and yours is the one we’re here to help you tell.
