Services
List of services
We can laser engrave/ mark pretty much anything. Currently we can't offer wood, normal glass (we can do some borosilicate like Pyrex), soft plastics or leather. Hard materials such as stainless steel, aluminium, silver, gold, tungsten etc are ok.
We can also put anything on the material - even a photograph BUT it's a laser, so the image needs to be clear, simple and "suitable" for engraving.
Design Service
All our prices are quoted expecting engrave-ready vector graphics and/or standard fonts supplied by you via email or other electronic means.
If anything needs designing, layouts, formatting, converting or touching up, we can add in either onsite or offsite design services at £30 per half hour or part thereof.

Laser Runtime
Lasers are expensive things!
Runtime only is £3 per minute.
Whilst most engravings take seconds, Some 3D reliefs can take hours, depending on what's required. High carbon steel large cross-sectional area stamps / dies for example might take several hours. Don't panic! what we quote, we'll stick to.

Most clients are just wanting the security marking, but if you want a polish/finish then please do talk to us as there are many options available.
