Laser Engraving

We can engrave on to polymer plates, plastics, wood, ceramics, acrylic, glass, anodized aluminum, leather, some metals and more.
Laser marking or engraving is a computer-driven, environmentally friendly alternative to silk screening, pad printing, stamping, mechanical engraving, chemical etching, and many other costly, lower quality processes. Our high-speed non-contact process provides superior quality, permanence and design flexibility. Laser marking can achieve accuracy in small detail engraving unmatched by any other engraving method.

Tooling

To make a good imprint you need good tooling, a good quality nest must be machined, cast or formed. Our machine shop and extensive experience enable us to produce precision tooling and nest at reasonably prices.

Screens

All our wooden screens are tongue & grooved made of superior dry lumber. Dipped in solvent proof varnish.
Screens are of high tension;
clear or yellow mesh 110-440 LPI
