Our Metal Engraving Processes
Different metals and products require different engraving techniques. At Krintech, we offer several specialist engraving methods to ensure the highest possible finish for every project.
Our in-house services include:
- CO₂ Laser Engraving
- Fibre Laser Marking
- Sandblasted Metal Engraving
- Chemical Metal Etching
- UV Colour Printing
- Screen Printing
- Pad Printing
By offering multiple engraving technologies under one roof, we can recommend the most suitable process based on your product, artwork and production quantity.
CO₂ Laser Engraving for Coated Metals
Our advanced CO₂ laser systems are ideal for engraving coated and painted metal surfaces.
The laser precisely removes the top coating to reveal the metal finish beneath, producing crisp, permanent artwork with excellent contrast.
This process is particularly suited to:
- Anodised aluminium panels
- Powder-coated aluminium
- Painted metal products
- Enamel-coated metals
- Promotional products
- Control panels
- Industrial labels
One of the most popular applications is engraving premium insulated drinkware such as:
- Stanley Cups
- YETI Bottles
- Ocean Bottles
- Vacuum flasks
- Travel mugs
- Water bottles
The laser removes the coloured coating to reveal the natural stainless steel beneath, creating a sharp silver finish that is permanent, durable and highly professional.
Fibre Laser Marking
For bare metals and precision industrial marking, we use our professional 30W MOPA Fibre Laser Marking System.
Unlike CO₂ lasers, fibre lasers are specifically designed for engraving metals directly without the need for coatings.
This process creates extremely fine, permanent markings with exceptional accuracy and speed.
Ideal applications include:
- Stainless steel engraving
- Brass engraving
Aluminium marking - Copper engraving
- Titanium engraving
- Mild steel marking
- Chrome-plated components
- Precious metals
Because the laser beam is incredibly precise, even the smallest text, serial numbers, logos, QR codes and barcodes can be engraved with outstanding clarity.
Metal Products We Engrave
Our fibre laser is used to engrave an enormous variety of metal products including:
- Cutlery
- Steak knives
- Chef’s knives
- Kitchen utensils
- Kettles
- Coffee canisters
- Storage jars
- Metal business cards
- Electrical switch plates
- Socket covers
- Control panels
- Machine labels
- Industrial plates
- Brass plaques
- Stainless steel plaques
- Medical instruments
- Dental equipment
- Jewellery
- Watch backs
- Watch buckles
- Sunglass frames
- Spectacle arms
- Hip flasks
- Zippo lighters
- Keyrings
- Pet tags
- Pens
- Tools
- Mechanical components
- QR code plates
- Barcode labels
- Product identification tags
Our rotary attachment also enables us to engrave cylindrical items with exceptional accuracy.
Sandblasted Metal Engraving
Some metal objects have curved, rounded or awkward surfaces that are not suitable for conventional engraving methods.
For these items, we offer precision sandblasted metal engraving.
Using specialist photo-resist stencils, we apply the artwork before carefully sandblasting the exposed areas.
Rather than cutting into the metal, the abrasive process removes the polished or satin surface finish to produce an elegant matt engraved effect.
Sandblasting is ideal for:
- Curved metal products
- Decorative items
- Awards
- Cylindrical products
- Premium giftware
- Irregular shaped objects
The finished result offers a subtle yet highly professional appearance.
Chemical Metal Etching
For applications requiring deep, permanent engraving with exceptional detail, we recommend chemical metal etching.
Chemical etching allows us to create recessed artwork within the metal surface rather than simply marking the top layer.
This process is particularly suitable for:
- Stainless steel
- Brass
- Copper
- Nickel
- Titanium
We can chemically etch sheet sizes from approximately A5 up to A3.
Chemical etching is perfect for:
- Industrial nameplates
- Machine labels
- Metal business cards
- Architectural components
- Decorative panels
- Fine detailed logos
- Serial numbering
- Precision engineering parts
Because the artwork is physically recessed into the metal, the finished product offers exceptional durability.
An additional benefit of chemical etching is the ability to fill engraved areas with coloured enamels, pigments or acrylic paints, creating premium multi-colour metal signage and branded products.
Metal Printing & Colour Branding
When colour is required on flat metal panels, we offer several specialist printing techniques.
These include:
- UV Colour Printing
- Screen Printing
- Pad Printing
These processes are ideal for:
- Electrical switch plates
- Machine control panels
- Metal signs
- Information plates
- Product branding
- Equipment labels
Screen and pad printing are ideal for single or spot colours, while UV printing enables us to reproduce full-colour graphics, photographs and branding directly onto metal surfaces.
For best results, printed items should have a flat, smooth surface.
