Ilco Engrave-It Touch: Revolutionizing Engraving for Keys and More

In the world of locksmithing, staying ahead means having the right tools for every job. Whether it’s engraving key blanks or diversifying into custom tags, finding a reliable, user-friendly machine is essential. That’s where Ilco’s latest product comes in—the Ilco Engrave-It Touch. This compact, high-tech engraving machine is designed to revolutionize the way locksmiths approach engraving. Let’s take a closer look at what makes this machine so special and why locksmiths should consider adding it to their arsenal.

Why Choose the Ilco Engrave-It Touch?

With a sleek design and advanced technology, the Engrave-It Touch stands out from other engraving machines. But what exactly makes it a better choice for locksmiths?

  • No Computer Required: The Engrave-It Touch operates independently with its built-in touchscreen, saving space and removing the need for additional equipment.
  • Simple Setup: No extensive training is necessary. Just follow the four or five prompts on the screen, and you're ready to engrave.
  • Compact Design: Its small footprint means it can fit on nearly any countertop, making it ideal for small shops or mobile locksmiths.

What Comes with the Machine?

Unlike other machines that require separate trays for each item, the Engrave-It Touch includes everything you need right out of the box.

  • Three Engraving Trays: These allow you to engrave 11 different types of keys.
  • Extra Trays: Expand your offerings to include pet tags, luggage tags, and other non-key items.

This versatility gives locksmiths an opportunity to expand their services beyond just key engraving.

How It Works

The Engrave-It Touch couldn’t be easier to use. The large touchscreen guides you through the process, or you can use the integrated barcode scanner for even faster selection. Here’s a quick breakdown of how to get started:

  1. Select the Key: Choose the type of key you're engraving by touching the screen or scanning the barcode.
  2. Pick a Font: The machine offers multiple font options for customizing text.
  3. Input Text: Manually type in the text you want engraved, or use the integrated web page to generate a QR code with the message you need.
  4. Add Images or Drawings: Want to get creative? You can upload images, logos, or even hand-draw designs directly on the touchscreen using a stylus.
  5. Preview and Engrave: Get a preview of the design, insert the key or tag into the tray, and hit the button. Voilà, your engraving is done in seconds.

Key Features that Set It Apart

  • Barcode Scanning: Quickly select the item you're engraving by scanning the barcode, making the process faster and reducing the risk of errors.
  • Customizable Designs: Whether it’s a company logo, a pet tag, or even a hand-drawn image, the Engrave-It Touch makes it easy to create custom designs for your clients.
  • Fast and Efficient: It only takes about 10 seconds to engrave a design, even with intricate details like logos or hand-drawn art.

Versatility for Locksmiths

Locksmiths looking to diversify their offerings will appreciate the Engrave-It Touch’s ability to engrave more than just keys. From pet tags to promotional items like luggage tags, this machine can expand your business into new markets without requiring extra training or setup.

Expand Your Business with Ease

The Ilco Engrave-It Touch is not just about engraving keys—it’s about providing locksmiths with the flexibility to grow their business. The ability to upload custom logos and designs via a USB stick allows you to offer personalized services for corporate clients, and the fast engraving speed means you can serve more customers in less time.
