These days there are a wide variety of materials that can be engraved using our specialty lasers. Wood, glass, marble, acrylic; the list goes on and on, laser engraving can be done on many non-metallic surfaces as well as on many types of metal. Add your logo, team name or personalized inscription to wood plaques, crystal vases, wine glasses or bottles full of your favourite beverage.
These days laser engraving is one of the most versatile of all engraving methods. Not only does the choice of materials offer limitless possibilities but the quality that can be achieved is breath-taking.
Wood is a common choice for laser engraving and different woods produce differing shades within the grain itself for a more distinctive effect. Wood can either be engraved or, if the piece is 1/4 of an inch or less in thickness, it can be cut into intricate shapes.
Both granite and marble can make beautiful lasting memories. It is possible to engrave an inscription, a logo, even a picture and the quality is astounding!
With laser engraving there are endless possibilities for advertising and signage. There are so many materials that can be engraved and with such a wide variety of colours and finishes that the possibilities are limited only by the imagination of the customer.
Unique gifts, awards and recognition items can all be created using our laser engraving services. Substances such as crystal, acrylic and glass can all be engraved to perfectly match your needs. A&M laser engraving can even be used on odd-shaped cylindrical items. For example wine bottles, full or empty, can be marked with names and dates to commemorate special occasions or events. Crystal vases, wine glasses, acrylic tubing; all these and much more can be laser engraved.
