A TAMPA BAY TRADITION SINCE 1978
Our Story
Personal service, local craftsmanship and recognition made meaningful.
Rainbow Engraving began in 1978 when Lorraine “Rainbow” Boleyn Crabb built a local business around craftsmanship, relationships and personal service. Known throughout the community as “Mama Rainbow,” she helped generations of Tampa Bay families, schools, leagues, businesses and organizations celebrate achievement with awards made for the moment and the people receiving them.
In April 2014, Mama Rainbow entrusted the business to Rick Borsick. Rick continued serving longtime Rainbow Engraving customers while expanding the company’s engraving capabilities and supporting recognition programs throughout Tampa Bay.
After a period of transition beginning in 2024, Rick formed Rainbow Engraving LLC on April 1, 2026, to preserve the name and continue the service tradition that began with Mama Rainbow. Many longtime customers had already continued working with Rick through Commercial Engraving Shop LLC, and their loyalty helped make it clear that the Rainbow Engraving story still had another chapter.
Today, Rainbow Engraving LLC provides personalized awards, plaques, medals, trophies, drinkware, name badges and custom engraving from our Tampa location at 9914 E Broadway Ave. We combine an expanded online catalog with the same practical guidance and personal attention customers expect from a local awards shop.
Every personalized order is reviewed for artwork, spelling, layout, timing and availability. Complimentary virtual proofs are normally provided within 24–48 hours, and standard production is generally 3–5 business days after proof approval. Local pickup is available at our Broadway Avenue location.
Whether you are recognizing one person, ordering awards for an entire season or building an ongoing employee-recognition program, our goal is simple: help you choose the right product, make the personalization accurate and deliver an award that feels worthy of the achievement.
Rainbow Engraving LLC is proud to continue serving Tampa Bay—and to carry forward a name that has meant personal service and quality recognition since 1978.
