Laser engraving or laser etching is one of our most popular decoration methods for promotional products. Laser engraving cannot be rubbed off or fade through standard usage which makes it a good option for personalised gifts made from metal, wood, and glass.

What Does Laser Etching Actually Do?

The process for laser engraving on a large scale involves our production team sending your artwork design to a laser machine that is programmed to etch out logos and art designs. There is no colour; it actually carves into the metal, glass or wood, allowing your design to stand out against the product grain. Overall laser engraving achieves a subtle, refined finish that isn't as vibrant as a print but offers a premium look that's suitable for certain recipients.

Premium Gift Styles

Laser engraving doesn't add any colour or actually darken surfaces (though a laser darkening process is possible), but if you have items with colour plating you can get a good contrast between material layers. However, sometimes this isn't necessary and many recipients covet the subtle, personal look of an etched metal pen or wooden serving platter.

While most plastic surfaces cannot be laser etched (due to the heat level of the laser causing plastics to melt) it is definitely a branding technique we recommend for a lot of luxury items manufactured from materials like glass, wood, and metal.
