Engraving and Insert Options
Cast aluminum can be engraved directly; however, direct engraving into the recessed aluminum area is not UV-protected. For the most durable and professional finished result, we recommend adding an engraved acrylic insert.
High-impact OEM acrylic inserts provide a higher-contrast display with improved readability and added UV protection for indoor and outdoor use. These premium 2-ply acrylic materials feature a clear top layer over a colored back layer, creating a sharp engraved appearance that is easier to read and better suited for long-term display.
Proofing and Production
A digital proof is provided for approval before engraving begins. Standard turnaround is 3 to 5 business days.

All designs are laser engraved, not printed, using professional CO₂ and industrial laser systems. This creates a permanent mark that will not fade, peel, or wear over time.
Results vary slightly by material—wood, glass, metal, and acrylic each produce a unique finish. If you have questions about how your design will appear, we’re happy to guide you before production.
Crystal & Glass: Engraves with a frosted etching, not white paint. Optional color fill can be added for enhanced contrast.
Wood: The laser burns into the surface, creating a deep, permanent mark. Lighter woods generally provide stronger contrast than darker species.
Leather & Faux Leather: Engraves in black or reveals underlying layers depending on material.
Metals: Most metals are laser marked, creating a smooth, permanent black mark commonly used for industrial and professional applications.
Acrylic: Precision cut and engraved for signage, awards, and custom applications.
Digital Proofs & Artwork: A proof will be provided for approval before production. High-resolution artwork produces the best results. Final engraving contrast may vary slightly by material.
