Engraving – Everything You Need to Know

Engraving

What is Engraving?

Engraving is a method where text is permanently etched into the surface of the tag. Unlike printed tags, engraved details do not fade or wear off over time, ensuring your information stays clear and visible.

Design Guidelines for Engraved Products

Please follow these guidelines to ensure the best engraving results:

Do's and Don'ts for Design Files

✅ Use solid, bold lines for best engraving clarity

❌ Avoid multi-color designs – engraving supports only single-color (monochrome) output

❌ Avoid very thin lines, as they may not engrave cleanly or visibly


                       Thin lines                         Bolder - For best
     
                     Don't use multicolour                                  

 
             Avoid thin lines                   Use bold font
