Laser engraving on personalised items
The laser engraves your logo directly into the material of the item. No ink: the marking becomes part of the item, it does not come off and gives a sober, high-end tone-on-tone finish.

How it works in the workshop
The file
Your logo is prepared as vector artwork.
The setup
The laser power is adjusted to the material.
The engraving
The laser engraves the logo in the designated position.
Quality control
Each piece is checked.
The principle in a diagram
- Laser head It follows the vector outline of the logo to a tenth of a millimetre.
- Focused beam Its power is set according to the material: metal, wood, bamboo, glass, leather…
- The surface is altered The laser removes the surface layer (paint, anodisation) or marks the material: no ink.
- Tone-on-tone, permanent The logo does not fade, does not flake and is dishwasher resistant.

A marking that's part of the object
Unlike printing, laser engraving removes a thin layer of material: the logo appears in the natural tone of the metal, wood or coating. It withstands washing and wear, making it a natural choice for items kept for a long time.

Engraving or colour?
Engraving is tone-on-tone: the colour obtained depends on the material. If your logo needs to keep its colours, pad printing or digital printing are more suitable. The possible techniques are indicated on each product page.
