Technical Specification for Engraved Pens

Engraved Pens

Laser engraving uses a focused laser beam to burn or etch your design directly onto the surface of a product. Instead of adding ink or colour, it creates a precise, permanent mark by removing the top layer of material. This method is perfect for detailed logos or text and is commonly used on metal, wood, glass, and coated items. The result is a clean, high-contrast finish that won’t fade or wear over time.
