Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What’s the difference between laser marking, etching, and engraving?

• Laser marking changes surface color (annealing or discoloration) without removing material—ideal for barcodes and serial numbers.

• Laser etching uses heat to slightly melt the surface, creating a raised texture with contrast.

• Laser engraving removes material to produce a deeper, permanent mark—best for industrial-grade durability.

2. What materials do you work with?

We process virtually any material:

• Organic: wood, leather, paper, fiberboard

• Plastics: acrylic, PVC, vinyl, styrene, foams

• Metals: iron, steel, aluminum, silver, gold, anodized finishes

• Glass, ceramics, stone

3. What object sizes can you handle?

Our lasers accommodate flat parts up to ~40″ × 28″ and virtually unlimited length via indexing—great for anything from tumblers to large signage.

4. Are your marks permanent?

Absolutely. Metal markings resist corrosion, abrasion, heat, and chemicals. Wood, plastic, and glass engravings are crisp, fade-resistant, and long-lasting.

5. What is the typical turnaround time?

Standard turnaround is 2–5 business days. Rush options are available for time-sensitive Detroit projects—some local partners offer same-day 8‑hour turnaround.

6. Can you laser-etch barcodes, serial numbers, and logos?

Yes—we handle high-precision marking (2D codes, traceability IDs, logos) using fiber and CO₂ lasers—ideal for automotive, manufacturing, and medical industries.

7. Do you provide proofs before full production?

Yes—digital art proofs and physical sample runs are available for approval to ensure exact placement, depth, and styling.

8. What file formats do you accept?

Preferred formats: Vector (.AI, .EPS, .SVG); High-res raster (.PNG, .JPG, .TIFF, .PDF) at 300 dpi+. CAD formats (.DXF, .DWG) accepted for industrial parts.

9. Is engraving safe for food-contact surfaces?

Yes—engraved glazed ceramics, drinkware, and cutlery are food-safe and dishwasher-resilient when processed correctly.

10. Can you manage high-volume runs?

From single custom pieces to large-scale production, our facility in PA supports global shipping to Detroit and beyond.

💡 Expert Tips for Detroit Clients

1. Testing is key: Send a sample piece to check depth, contrast, and clarity.

2. Maintain edge margins: Leave at least ½″ clearance, especially on cylindrical items.

3. Depth choice matters: Shallow etch for decoration, medium engraving for functional use.

4. High-res files deliver best outcomes: Aim for SVG/vector; high-quality raster for detailed images.

5. Finishing matters: Powder-coated or anodized surfaces may benefit from post-mark cleanup or sealing.
