Printing done right
Laser marking uses a focused beam to etch permanent, precise detail into a material's surface. It produces the crisp, premium logos seen on high-end pens, bottles and awards.
This guide explains the technique, its materials and when it's worth the step up from printing.

Buying tips
A few practical points before you place the order:
- Design for laser - clean shapes and clear contrast work best.
- Confirm material suitability; not everything etches equally.
- Engraving adds a premium feel that ink printing can't match.
- Sample first when laser interacts with a painted surface.
Quick answers
What is laser engraving?
A focused laser beam vapourises or discolours the surface to etch permanent detail.
What materials can be laser marked?
Stainless steel, aluminium, brass, wood, leather, acrylic and many plastics.
Does laser marking last?
Yes - the mark is part of the material and won't wear off like ink.
Is laser marking more expensive?
Slightly more than print, but the premium look and permanence usually justify it.
