LASER ENGRAVING


This process can be performed on metallic, wooden, crystal, and glass surfaces. On light or silver pens, the engraving would appear subtle. Therefore, the optional oxidation service can be ordered to blacken the etched surface. On Wooden surfaces, depending on the type of product, the etched surface may appear burnt black or light maple color (stained wood). On Crystal and Glass, the laser engraving will be frosted white.

SAND BLASTED DEEP ETCHING


This process transfers the logo in a photographic fashion onto a vinyl stencil. The stencil is then applied manually to the crystal or glass piece and blasted by sand in a chamber. The etching will appear frosty-white and can be color-filled at an additional charge. Copy changes can be done up to 3 lines without incurring an additional Set-Up charge. Same logo applied to different pieces may require different Set-Ups. A Repeat-Set-Up charge is required for re-orders using the same logo.
