Our History
By Design Laser Co. is the realization of a long-held dream.
1987
Our journey started in 1987 when Rosella began experimenting with etching on glass to create personalized goblets for our wedding.
1988
What began as a simple project for our own wedding quickly grew into something much more, and by 1988, we opened Country Glass & Crafts in Fryburg, Ohio. We offered custom glass and mirror cutting, along with engraving services for both retail and wholesale customers. In those early years, we used sandblasting to create beautifully etched graphics. However, each engraving required a single-use stencil, making the process quite time-consuming. We were determined to find a better way, and that’s when we discovered the world of laser engraving – a method that promised precision, efficiency and a way to drastically expand our creativity!
1997
Though we had to pause our dream in 1997 when we sold the business and relocated to Montana, the dream remained alive!
2022
In the fall of 2022, we both knew it was time to pick up where we left off. After careful research, we found the perfect laser engraving machine that could handle everything from delicate keepsakes to items as large as wine barrels – all without the need for disposable stencils.
Today
By Design Laser Co. offers a much broader selection of personalized gifts, all crafted with the same passion for quality and attention to detail that has always defined us. We are excited to bring your unique ideas to life and help you celebrate life’s milestones.
