Laser Engraving

  • It is designed to focus laser light for the purpose of marking wood, metal, glass, or some other material with a preselected engraving—logo or design.
  • A focused laser beam is directed onto the product, which then either melts, burns, or vaporizes away, leaving an etch with a high-quality surface finish.
  • The finished look will be dependent on the base material of the object.

       (Best for printing on Metal items (Metal Pens, Metal Tumblers).







 

UV Printing

  • UV printing is the process of digitally printing full-colored logos on gift items.
  • It's a method of digital printing utilizing ultraviolet (UV) light to dry or cure the ink, adhesives, or coatings almost as soon as it’s hit the paper, aluminum, foam board, or acrylic - in fact, as long as it fits in the printer, the technique can be used to print on almost anything.


    (Best for printing on Bags, Bottles, Cutlery Sets, Keychains, Mugs, Pin Badges, Premium Notebooks, and Canvas Tote Bags)
