Laser
Engraving
Laser engraving is a non-contact marking
process which is used for marking metal items. An intense beam of
highly focused laser energy is used to burn the image into the surface
of the product producing an indelible and abrasion resistant finish.
It is an extremely accurate process which is capable of reproducing
incredible detail.
The colour of the engraving varies depending on the type of material the product is manufactured from.
Screen Printing
Screen printing is used for marking vinyl, plastics and metal
using specially developed inks for the particular substrate.
Each colour is printed as a separate solid line colour. It is an extremely
efficient and cost effective method of marking products with very
low origination costs.
Blocking
Blocking is used for marking leather
using a heated magnesium block to stamp a gold or silver
foil image onto the surface of the product.
Die Stamping
Die stamping is most suitable for marking
stainless steel using a special hand made hardened
steel die to stamp the impression into the material
using very high pressures, typically between 15
and 30 tons per square inch. The impression is permanent and can be blind stamp or stamped and colour filled using a two part catalytic ink. It is extremely cost effective method of marking metals.
