There are many engraving processes, we choose the right one for your project.

Diamond Drag - An industrial diamond is cut to a tip that is dragged through the metal plowing the metal to each side of the cut - very similar to a farmer plowing a field. We use this process to engrave many items in our store like Brass Clocks, key rings and metal tankards. We use Diamond Gravers most of the time for gift merchandise, such as key tags, letter openers, money clips, picture frames.

Burnishing - On items that have a large flat area of coated materials, we can burnish using carbide or diamond burnishers. Many times the diamond drag engraving is hard to see because of the thinness of the diamond tip. With burnishing a carbide or diamond tip is rotated to make a wider line on the engraving material. Most award plaques have a brass plate that is lacquer coated or screen printed with ink coating. When burnishing the coating is removed exposing the gold colored brass underneath. Burnishing is used to engraved coated Waterman and Cross pens which we carry.

Etching - We can take Corporate logos, line art and typesetting and make mask for etching onto glassware and acrylics (Gifts and Awards). We can do from the inexpensive Glass Beer Mug to Jaffa Crystal with stunning results.
