About us

Raising The BAR Designs is a family-owned custom printing and engraving business based in Lake Ridge / Woodbridge, Virginia. Owner Michael Hartman creates personalized gifts, business branding, and custom pieces for customers across Northern Virginia, Maryland, Washington, DC, and throughout the United States.

The BAR in our name stands for Benjamin, Alice, and Rebekah, the three children who inspired the business.

What we make

Our workshop offers UV printing, laser engraving and cutting, sandblasting, 3D printing, vinyl cutting, DTF apparel decoration, and custom hat patches. Projects range from personalized drinkware and gifts to acrylic logos, signs, and branded products for businesses and events.

We also design printer jigs that help other makers position drinkware for UV printing, including our Mimaki tumbler and water bottle jig system.

Made for your project

Choose a product and follow its personalization or artwork instructions. For a custom project, send your idea, quantity, dimensions, and deadline so we can review the materials and artwork with you. Production starts after payment and receipt of the required artwork and materials.

We ship throughout the United States. Local customers can contact us to arrange pickup after their order is ready.

Our only limitation is your imagination.
