👋Locally Made. Personally Crafted.
Professionally Engraved.
Hi, I’m Christopher Dill, owner and maker behind Laser This (or That) — a small business built on creativity, community, and craftsmanship right here in Middletown, New Jersey.
After recently retiring from law enforcement, I’ve been able to fully focus on this passion that started as a side project while still on active duty. I launched Laser This (or That) in March of 2023, combining the precision and discipline from my career with a love for design and custom creation.
What began as a small creative outlet quickly grew into a trusted local brand serving schools, sports teams, and families across New Jersey. Now that I’m retired, I’m excited to expand our offerings, introduce new materials and techniques, and take on larger custom and corporate projects — all while staying true to what makes our work unique: personal craftsmanship and local pride.
🥃 The Art of Sand Carving
While laser engraving produces a sharp, precise finish, our sand-carved glassware offers a deeper level of artistry. Each piece is masked, blasted, and etched by hand, resulting in a frosty, tactile texture that’s elegant, durable, and beautifully detailed. It’s a more time-intensive process — but one that delivers a truly professional result.
Whether it’s a custom-engraved tumbler, cutting board, ornament, or hand-sand-carved glass, every product is made with care, pride, and a personal touch.
