Do you have that personal touch?

 

Ryan Snyder,
Plant Manager

As I walk through our manufacturing plant and glance at our products, I feel privileged to see the memorials and plaques that we are creating. It is such a blessing to be able to peek into the lives of these people through the photos that their families, friends or colleagues took the time to hand pick; giving it that extra personal touch.

What also amazes me is the personal attention our staff members put into each memorial. Every item we produce is hand finished by one of our employees, who takes great pride in what they do, treating each piece as if it is for their own loved one.

Trigard Memorials was founded on the belief that each memorial should be more than just a marker. It should tell the person's life story. Let's help our customers understand the value of the personal touch.

The vaule of versatility

Ethan Darby,
Sales Manager

You know us for memorials, urns, crypt, and niche plates, but did you know that we are also a plaque and sign manufacturer?

Through our plaques and signs division, I work with a variety of organizations, including parks, schools and golf courses. The signage industry is extremely competitive with projects typically going to the lowest bidder. Our prices are competitive, but we can offer something more valuable than low prices - versatility.

How many different signs are at a memorial park or cemetery? If you own or manage a property, do you rely upon multiple companies? Wouldn't it be nice to have one place for all of your projects? At Trigard, we can be that flexible provider because we can adapt to your needs.

Do you have donors that you need to recognize? Do you need to designate sections of your cemetery? Do you need something as simple as bathroom signs? We can do that. What could be more convenient for you than one-stop shopping for your signs and memorials?  If you have any questions or want more information, please call me at 800.798.4900 or email me at ethand@trigard.com.

Trigard shines at NBM Sign Show

The precision and detail created by our machining process was on display at the NBM Sign Show in Indianapolis. Jeff Miller and Ethan Darby answered questions about our range of experience with plaques and signs.

 

Just like our process allows the families you serve to be incredibly creative when designing a memorial, there are practically no restrictions on our plaques and signs. Shape cuts, full color and incredible detail are no problem for our artists and technicians.  

 

 

Do you need a new sign for your business? Do you know a group dedicating a wall in your community? Are you working on a donor project? Call us at 800.798.4900 to see how Trigard Plaques and Signs can help.

Good Photos vs. Bad Photos

At Trigard Engraved Bronze we pride ourselves in producing an exact replica of any photograph into an engraved bronze product. This exact replication can result in the finest of bronze products if the photograph that we receive is of high quality. Likewise if the image quality is poor, it will result in a poor quality bronze product.
Our preferred file format to save a scanned photo is a .TIF or .TIFF file. This enables us to receive the most detail because the way the software saves all the detail in the photograph. When a photograph is saved as a .JPG image, much of the fine detail gets lost. This is not to say that we cannot produce a product from a .JPG file, but it will result in a final product that is not of the finest quality.
We also would like to have the files saved with a resolution of at least 200dpi. DPI stands for dots per inch, and if you look closely at a photograph it is made of thousands and thousands of tiny dots. The more dots per inch, the higher the quality of the image will be. 300dpi is even better, but may result in a file that is too large to e-mail. We thank you for the opportunity to allow our staff to produce the ultimate in 3-D relief imaging.
