A Leap of Faith That Paid Off
In 2017, Michael Wanco of Irmo, SC, took a leap of faith, leaving behind his full-time job to pursue his passion for custom engraving. What started as a weekend side business quickly grew into Bolder Engraving, a company that has become a leader in portable CNC engraving. With an innovative approach and a dedication to quality, Michael transformed a single engraving machine into a thriving business serving customers across South Carolina and beyond.
Portable, Versatile, and Limitless Possibilities
At Bolder Engraving, no project is too big or small. Whether it’s personalizing concrete surfaces, customizing Yeti coolers, or adding intricate details to wood and metal, Michael and his team ensure that virtually any surface can become a canvas for creativity. The portability of his CNC Pro machine allows him to bring engraving services directly to the customer—whether at a home, a business, or even across state lines.
“The machine boxes up into a four-foot by two-foot by two-foot box. I can carry it on an airplane, throw it in the back of my truck, and literally go anywhere,” says Michael.
A Commitment to Excellence
What sets Bolder Engraving apart isn’t just its advanced technology—it’s Michael’s unwavering commitment to craftsmanship. Every project is treated with care, ensuring that each engraving exceeds customer expectations.
“I take a lot of pride in my work. Quality is very important to me. I don’t walk away unless I’m happy with it—and of course, my customers are always thrilled,” he explains.
Expanding Services for a Growing Market
Since launching with a single machine, Bolder Engraving has expanded its capabilities, now operating two CNC Pro machines and offering laser engraving for even more customization options. From personal projects to business branding, Michael’s company has become a go-to provider for unique, high-quality engraving solutions.
“Whatever you can think of, whatever you can come up with, is completely possible. The options are limitless,” he says.
Engraving the Future
With his passion, skill, and dedication to innovation, Michael Wanco has built more than just a business—he’s created a brand that stands for quality, creativity, and customer satisfaction. Bolder Engraving continues to leave its mark—one project at a time.
