Who is custom engraving for? Anyone who wants to give everyday objects a personal touch, create something truly one of a kind, or find a special gift for a partner, relative, friend or colleague.
We are surrounded by products and accessories that are practical but impersonal. Pens, USB sticks, lighters, phones, jewellery, hip flasks, keyrings, bracelets and much more – engraving turns any of them into something personal.
Engraving can be done on many materials – glass, wood, stone, plastic or ceramics – but metal remains the most popular choice. It is strong and durable, so a metal item will outlast one made of wood or glass. And when a piece of jewellery is made from corrosion-resistant jewellery-grade stainless steel, a keyring or pendant keeps its original look for years without tarnishing or rusting.
Metal can be engraved in several ways: with a laser, a diamond tool, or impact and other mechanical equipment. The laser is the most precise of these and the gentlest on the surface. It alters only the very top layer of the metal, changing its colour and structure at that spot. That is why laser engraving is now the most common way to apply lettering, logos and images to metal.
Laser engraving also works on precious metals. For example, we engrave silver and gold pens, so you can create a branded corporate pen for any occasion.
A laser can even engrave a photo or portrait, which is reproduced as a raster image. This is possible because the laser beam is extremely fine and works with very high precision.
