Laser Engraving Services
Clean, precise laser engraving for acrylic, wood, leather, coated metals, signs, tags, gifts, and custom products.
Laser engraving is ideal for branding, personalization, product details, and decorative work — whether you need a single custom piece or a full production run.
The Process
What Is Laser Engraving?
Laser engraving uses a focused beam of light to mark or remove the surface layer of a material, creating permanent text, artwork, logos, patterns, or product details directly on the piece.
It is commonly used for customization, branding, labeling, and decorative applications. The result is a clean, precise, and durable mark that won't fade, peel, or wear off over time.

File Prep
Design Tips for Best Results
Properly prepared design files lead to sharper engraving, faster quotes, and fewer revisions. Here's how to get the best results.
Use vector files when possible
SVG, DXF, AI, or PDF — vector artwork engraves with the sharpest results.
Separate engrave and cut paths
Use different colors or layers so engrave areas are clearly distinct from cut lines.
Convert text to outlines
Ensures your fonts render correctly regardless of what's installed on the production machine.
Design at the correct size
Set your artboard and design to the actual real-world dimensions of the finished piece.
Include engraving notes
If your file needs specific depth, fill vs. line engrave, or other details, add notes to your order.
