Laser Engraving: The Ultimate Solution for Customised and Durable Branding
Laser engraving is an excellent way to imprint detailed artwork onto almost any product, providing an affordable and high-end look. This method is widely used to brand wood, acrylic, textiles, stainless steel, and glass products, among others, without requiring any consumables such as ink. With very little setup time, laser engraving is a fast and efficient way to personalise products with individual names and numbers.

The logo impression is physically on the product, ensuring that the “imprint” will not scratch off and is long-lasting. Some of the most commonly laser engraved products are metal pens, stainless steel mugs, glass candles, wood or bamboo pens, and others. Laser engraving is a machine-produced branding method that etches a logo into the surface of metal products, resulting in a forever-lasting message.

Something to note about engraving is that different metals will render different finishes, depending on the metal of the product being engraved. A silver pen with a brass barrel will expose a champagne or honey gold etching, while a coloured aluminium pen will expose a white or silver etched logo. If you have a particular finish in mind, please discuss it with us before purchasing.

Advantages of using engraving

  • Higher perceived value than other types of branding.
  • The branding becomes embedded in the surface and is permanent.
  • It produces a similar finish to etching on glassware.
  • Can generate variable data, such as individual names or numbers.
  • As soon as the branding is complete, the product can be shipped.

Limitations for engraving

  • The size of branding areas is limited on curved surfaces.
  • Fine detail can be lost on smaller products like pens.
  • Can mark curved or uneven products.

Despite the advantages of engraving, there are also some limitations to keep in mind. One of the biggest limitations is that the size of branding areas is limited on curved surfaces. This means that products with curved surfaces may not be suitable for engraving, or that the branding may have to be done in a smaller area than desired. Another limitation is that fine detail can be lost on smaller products like pens. This can make it difficult to achieve the desired level of detail for certain designs or logos. Finally, while engraving can mark curved or uneven products, it may not be the most efficient or cost-effective way to do so compared to other types of branding.

CO2 Laser Engraving And Cutting

CO2 laser cutting and engraving are suitable for natural materials such as wood, leather, and some rubbers. Depending on the material’s thickness, the CO2 laser removes the surface layer of the product to reveal the underneath layer. This technique of engraving is permanent branding.

Fibre Optic & YAG Laser Engraver 

These lasers are used to permanently brand primarily metal products, which require engraving. When a painted surface is engraved, the base colour, which is typically either gold or silver, is exposed, revealing the underlayer. Some items can be oxidised after engraving, which involves applying a chemical solution that reacts with the engraving to change the colour to charcoal, also known as “blackening.” Metal items like pens, key chains, mugs, flasks, and BBQ accessories are the main things that are engraved with the fibre optic laser engrave machine.
