Quick facts

Quick Facts about laser engraving

Use these points to compare product surface, logo detail and finish before choosing laser engraving for a branded merchandise brief.

01

Surface fit

Metal, coated barrels and selected hard surfaces are the usual starting point.

02

Product fit

Pens, bottles, selected tech accessories and business gifts are common matches.

03

Logo detail

Fine text, thin lines and compact marks need enough engraving space to stay clear.

04

Finish result

Some items engrave to shiny steel, natural etch, mirror or another product-specific finish.

05

Branding area

The product's engraving area shapes logo size, placement and layout.

06

Artwork setup

Vector artwork and clean outlines help decide whether the mark will suit the product.

What products can Laser engraving be applied to?

Laser engraving can be applied to compatible metal and selected hard-surface products. In the current DMA range, it commonly appears on drinkware, pens and writing products, tech accessories and selected business gifts.

What artwork works best for laser engraving?

Vector artwork is preferred, and fonts should be converted to outlines or objects before production artwork is supplied. Fine detail, thin lines and small text should be checked against the product's engraving area.

Is laser engraving right for every product?

No. Laser engraving depends on the product material, coating, surface shape, artwork size and available engraving area. DMA can check the product and artwork together before recommending it for a quote.
