About Us

Craftsmanship with a New Hampshire Spirit

Welcome to Live Free or Die Laser Engraving. We are a small, independent shop based in New Hampshire, dedicated to creating rugged, high-quality, and personalized goods that stand the test of time.

In a world filled with mass-produced plastic, we believe in making things that feel real—whether that’s the natural weight of a slate coaster or the snap of a precision-cut metal hat clip.

Our Story

What started as a hobby in my workshop quickly turned into a passion for precision. I’ve always loved working with my hands and technology, and laser engraving allows me to combine both. I started this business to share that passion with others, creating unique items that you can’t just pick up at a big-box store.

Live Free or Die Laser Engraving is locally owned and operated right here in Dalton, NH. We aren't a faceless warehouse; we are your neighbors. When you place an order with us, you are supporting a local American small business.

What's in a Name?

"Live Free or Die" is more than just the New Hampshire state motto; to us, it represents a mindset. It’s about authenticity, independence, and taking pride in what you do. We bring that spirit into every burn of the laser. We don't cut corners, and we don't ship anything we wouldn't use ourselves.

What We Do

We specialize in precision laser engraving on a variety of materials, including slate, leatherette, and metal.

  • Custom Gifts: From wedding favors to housewarming presents, we help you create memories.
  • Tactical & EDC: Gear that fits your lifestyle, like our signature hat clips and wallets.
  • Corporate & Bulk: We work with realtors, businesses, and organizations to create branded merchandise that clients actually want to keep.

The Guarantee

When you order from us, you are dealing directly with the maker. If you have a custom request, a question about your order, or just want to discuss a project, you can reach out and get a real human response.

Thank you for supporting small business.
