Laser Engraving Services and Product Details
Learn more about how our laser engraving services work and what to expect.
How permanent is engraving?
Engraving is permanent. It will not peel or fade.
Will it match my proof?
We engrave to match your approved proof. Minor variation may occur due to materials.
What fonts are available?
We offer many fonts and styles. We will help you choose the best fit.
What cannot be engraved?
Items containing vinyl (including PVC) cannot be laser engraved. When heated, vinyl releases toxic chloring gas and hydrochloric acid. These fumes are hazardous and can damage equipment. Vinyl also melts, resulting in poor-quality finish.
For more information on chemical hazards, refer to OSHA guidelines.
