Q3. Which engraving or printing methods are best suit for an award?

3A. Laser Engraving

Suitable for: Acrylic, Metal, Wood

During the process of laser engraving, the laser beam burns on the surface of the material, exposing it to a great deal of heat. Depending on the exposure time, the color changes and creates a contrast. The resulting laser engraving is permanent and very resistant to abrasion.

3B. Colour Print

Suitable for: Acrylic, Crystal, Jade glass, Metal plate

Colour printing is a premium finishing that recreates logos, photographs and text in full colour. With a bit of creativity, stunning effects can be achieved.

We use the latest technology to directly print on the award surface with a special ink that is cured by UV light.

Colour printing requires a flat print surface for the best results.

 

3C. Sandblasting

Suitable for: Crystal, Glass

This method is used on crystal, glass and other hard materials used to make awards. Sandblasting is used to precisely engrave text, logos, and graphics to make the award more outstanding.

Simply put, an abrasive material is propelled at high velocities with air hoses onto the surface. The rough material cuts at the surface where the stencil outline has been placed, leaving the design finely engraved.

For added effect, the engraved areas can be filled with coloured pigments like gold or silver
