Laser Engraving

ShieldCo Signs uses advanced laser engravers to personalize signs with company names, slogans, images, and more. Laser engraving produces sharp, defined edges that clearly stand out from the background material.

Custom Laser Engraving

Laser engraving can be applied to a variety of materials, including the metals we use for sign fabrication such as aluminum, steel, brass, corten, and copper. It physically alters the metal’s surface, preventing designs from chipping, fading, or scraping off as with printed decals.

Our skilled craftsmanship allows businesses to display custom touches that withstand heavy use and outdoor exposure over many years.

Laser Engraving Process

During fabrication, we upload your vector image files to our laser engraving software. We set engraving specifications such as depth, instructing the laser of your custom settings. Using a focused beam, it recreates design onto the bare metal surface by vaporizing the top layer of atoms.

This heat-based process removes material without contact, force, or abrasion. It’s extremely accurate since the laser beam engraves the same sign being cut. Your custom graphics integrate directly into the final product without any extra steps.

FAQs

Laser engraving prices can range from approximately $5 to $50 depending on the size of the area being engraved and the complexity of the design.

Laser engraving is a process that uses a precise laser beam to remove surface material in order to create customized graphics, text, and images on the item being engraved.

Potential disadvantages include discoloration from the heat of lasers on some metals, difficulty engraving irregular shapes, and limitations in engraving detailed raster images rather than vector artwork.
