Engraving can provide a solid, high quality, durable nameplate product with vast scope for changeable information such as serial numbers or date of manufacture etc. The industry has worked to develop almost any kind of raw material to engrave, whether it be brass, aluminium, stainless steel or plastic. There is a huge range of pre-prepared plastics and laminates ready to engrave, catering for virtually every requirement. There are rigid laminates for durable/outdoor use (in various thicknesses) and fine laminates for high detail engraving. Complementing the process of engraving are a whole range of finishing tools such as bevelling, punching and forming.
