With over 35 years of experience we can fulfill all of your needs in recognizing employees, customers and advertising your business. Bob and Karen Haskin started ZIP Trophy in 1974 in Morton Grove, Illinois as a trophy and engraving store. Soon after customer started asking about promotional items which they began supplying. Now that the business was more than trophies and awards a name change was in order ZIP Specialties, Inc was born. Moving to Wheeling, Illinois to a larger facility on one level in 1987, ZIP was able to grow with technology for imprinting and engraving. ZIP now has state of the art color imprinting in house as well as laser engraving/marking and computer engraving machines.
