Black stainless steel tumbler, laser engraved through the powder coat

What we mark

Metals the fiber laser handles.

Stainless steel and knives

Blades, bolsters and handles. A maker's mark, a name or a date, cut permanently into the steel. This is one of the most common things we are asked for and the results are excellent.

Brass and aluminium plates

Equipment tags, machine plates, dedication plaques and valve tags. Anodized aluminium is particularly good: the laser lifts the anodizing to bright silver, giving very high contrast.

Coated and powder coated metal

Same principle as the drinkware range. The laser removes the coating and exposes the metal beneath, so the mark is structural rather than printed.

What it is for

Where a permanent mark actually matters.

Asset and equipment tagging

Serial numbers, asset IDs and barcodes that have to survive the working life of the item. Labels peel; an engraved mark does not.

Tools and gifts that get used

A name on a multitool, a knife or a flask. These are gifts that go in a pocket and get handled daily, which rules out anything printed on the surface.

Industrial and safety plates

Legible, permanent identification on plant and fittings. Tell us the size, the material and what has to go on it and we will quote it.

Questions

Before you order.

What metals can you engrave?

Stainless steel, brass, aluminium including anodized, titanium and most coated or powder coated metals. If you are unsure about a specific item, send us a photo and we will tell you straight whether it will mark well.

Can you engrave something I already own?

Usually yes, and people often bring us a knife, a flask or a tool that already means something to them. We will look at the item first and tell you honestly if we think the result would not do it justice.

Does engraving a knife blade affect it?

A fiber laser marks the surface without the heat of mechanical engraving, so it does not affect the temper of the blade. We keep the mark clear of the edge.

Do I see the engraving before it is cut?

Yes. We lay out your text and artwork and send you a proof. Nothing goes near the laser until you have approved every letter. If the spacing looks wrong to you, we change it and send another proof.

How does ordering work?

Tell us the item, the quantity and what you want engraved. We confirm the price, take a deposit, then send you a proof to approve. Engraving starts once you have signed off.

Can you handle a rush order?

Rush work is welcome, and it is a good part of what we do. Call 713.334.7446 with your date and we will tell you honestly whether we can hit it before you commit.
