The Story Behind Trident LaserWorks

At Trident LaserWorks, we pride ourselves on creating products that are more than just merchandise – they’re a reflection of stories, values, and a commitment to quality. But our journey didn’t begin with hats or water bottles; it began with a mission and a passion for craftsmanship.

A Veteran-Owned Dream

Trident LaserWorks was founded by Jerry Smith, a Veteran who served with dedication and resilience. The experiences and lessons learned during his service instilled a strong work ethic, attention to detail, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. These values have become the foundation of Trident LaserWorks.

The name “Trident” carries a special significance. It’s a nod to Jerry’s time in service and the ideals of strength, adaptability, and unity. Just as a trident symbolizes power and precision, our products aim to represent those qualities in every stitch, engraving, and design.

Our Craft and Commitment

At its core, Trident LaserWorks is about connection. Whether it's a firefighter wearing a custom patch hat, a small business showcasing their brand on laser-engraved water bottles, or a sports team uniting under their logo, we help bring visions to life. We specialize in custom-branded hats, high-quality leatherette patches, laser-engraved drinkware, and more.

One of the unique aspects of our work is the blend of traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. Using state-of-the-art laser engraving and UV printing equipment, we ensure every product is made with precision and care. From the choice of materials to the final packaging, every step is designed to exceed expectations.

Supporting Heroes and Communities

As a Veteran-owned business, we understand the importance of giving back. That’s why Trident LaserWorks has dedicated collections for police, fire, EMS, and military communities. These collections are designed to honor and celebrate the heroes who serve us every day.

In addition to supporting first responders, we’re also committed to contributing to larger causes. Recently, we teamed up with Soda City Hat Co. to raise funds for Hurricane Helene relief efforts, donating proceeds from our state-themed hat collection. It’s partnerships like these that remind us of the power of community and collaboration.

Looking Ahead

Trident LaserWorks is more than a business; it’s a mission-driven journey. As we continue to grow, we’re excited to expand our offerings with new equipment, innovative designs, and fresh collections. Whether it’s adding a UV printer to enhance customization or creating waterproof hats for outdoor enthusiasts, our focus remains on delivering high-quality products that make a lasting impression.
