Surface engraving is the process by which a machine engraves desired text, logos, symbols, etc, on the surface of plastics, metals and glass. Generally surface engraving will consist of only two colors.
Plastic/Acrylic/Wood: Capable of cutting any shape and engraving any logo or graphic. Unlimited fonts and text size. Unlimited color choices available with reverse engraved plastics.
Metal: Crisp black letters, graphics and logos permanently engraved onto Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Anodized Steel, Brass & Chrome.vTypical applications would include: Tags, Nameplates, Panel Graphics, Medical Tools, Industrial Equipment, Stainless Steel Switch & Receptacle Plates.
Reverse engraving differs from traditional engraving in several ways. Instead of engraving on the exposed surface of the material the text is engraved on the backside of the plastic. The engraved areas are left clear and then paint filled allowing for multiple colors. Reverse engraving is ideal for abusive applications such as food processing industry, clean room environments and wash down areas and areas exposed to certain chemicals or high temperature applications.
To achieve the best result we employ a process that is crisp, clean and consistent. Names and patterns can be carved on glass, wine bottles, wine glasses, vases or any other surface using this method. Fine particles of abrasive are blown by air pressure that cuts away the surface area based on the pattern adapted.
For equipment identification and control panels in electrical rooms, mechanical room pump houses, control centers ...etc. Nameplates are made of quality plastic, durable chip-proof, shatterproof, and resistant to staining. Standard nameplates are 1/16" thick, 2-ply, with beveled edges, engraved on one side only with adhesive for easy mounting. 1/32" and 1/8" thick material available on request. Standard letter height is 1/4" unless otherwise specified.
