Honest Advice

When it’s not the right choice

Not every material is safe or suitable to laser — for example PVC/vinyl plastics must never be lasered. If you want full color on drinkware, UV DTF or sublimation is the better fit.

Common Questions

Laser Engraving FAQ

What materials can be laser engraved?

Common materials include wood, bamboo, leather, slate, acrylic, cork, powder-coated tumblers and anodized aluminum. Tell us the item and we’ll confirm whether it engraves well before we start.

Can I bring my own item to be engraved?

Often yes. Contact us with the item and material first — some materials, like PVC and vinyl, are unsafe to laser, and others need a quick test to get the right result.

Do you engrave tumblers with a company logo?

Yes. Engraving a logo through the powder coat of a tumbler gives a clean, permanent mark that makes a popular corporate gift.

Engraving or UV printing for tumblers?

Engraving is permanent and single-tone, with a premium look. UV DTF printing adds full color and gloss. Choose engraving for subtle logos and long-lasting gifts, and UV DTF when the design needs color.
