Plastic Engraving

When it comes to laser engraving, wood is often the first material that comes to mind.A hot laser burns a design into a wooden sheet, this is a modern method based on centuries-old forms of woodworking. Engraving plastic is less obvious, as plastic tends to deform when heated. However, it is possible to engrave even small details in plastic with beautiful results. The appearance of the product is very different compared to wood engravings, allowing you to differentiate and have all kinds of custom products engraved.

All engravings are produced on our own advanced machines. This means that we can produce both larger quantities and single pieces. This is often a limitation with plastic products. Do you want a specific design, such as a logo, to be made in larger volumes? That is also possible. This way, you can have signage throughout the organization with minimal effort.Determine the size in the design, choose the desired material, and place your order.

Engraving on plastic

How does engraving on plastic work? First, a digital design is created. You can do this yourself, or perhaps you have a designer who provides the files for you. Make sure to check the delivery specifications to ensure the file is suitable for our equipment. If you're not sure or need assistance, feel free to let us know. In plastic engraving, a laser beam is guided over the material with a special machine. This is based on the drawing, so the desired design is 'burned' into the material. Unlike engravings on wood, engraving on plastic causes the material to evaporate or discolor, creating a relief. However, there is no discoloration on the rest of the object, resulting in a very clean appearance.

Tip: Does the organization have a house style with a specific color scheme? Engraving in plastic allows you to dress a building or event entirely in the organization's style. From striking signs on the exterior of the building to subtle elements within the space. Keep in mind that colors on a screen or print work with different color coding than plastic sheets. If you have any questions about this, please contact our team in advance.
