Custom laser engraving: artwork and placement

A logo engraving brief should identify the item, material, surface finish and the usable area for the mark. Include a straight-on photo and the logo as vector artwork when available. A small metal plate and a curved gift item need different placement decisions, even when they carry the same logo.

For personalized awards or a batch of gifts, supply the names and other changing text in a clearly labeled list alongside one approved layout. Check spelling, text order and the orientation of each item in the proof. If your specification calls for a particular marking method or finish, include that requirement with the brief so feasibility can be checked.

Questions about Engraving & Etching

Can you engrave bare metal like stainless or brass?

Send the alloy, surface finish, dimensions and the result you need. Bare, coated and anodized metals require different treatment, so the suitable marking method and appearance are confirmed for the specific item before quoting.

Do I need to supply vector artwork?

Vector artwork such as AI, EPS, SVG, PDF or DXF is useful for logos and text. Include the intended mark size. For a photograph or other raster artwork, send the original image so detail and legibility can be assessed before the layout is approved.

Can you engrave curved items like tumblers and bottles?

Send photos and dimensions of the item, its material and finish, and the desired mark position. Curvature, handles and the available marking area affect how the item can be held and worked; suitability is confirmed before accepting the job.

What is the difference between laser engraving, etching and laser marking?

These terms can describe different results and production methods. An engraved recess, a surface mark and a chemically etched design are not interchangeable specifications. Include the required appearance and any mandated process in your brief so the available approach can be checked.

Can you laser engrave aluminum — anodized or bare?

State whether the aluminum is bare, anodized, painted or powder-coated and include a photo or material specification. The coating affects the appearance of a mark. We review the material and requested result before confirming the appropriate process.

How do you mark stainless steel so it survives cleaning?

Include the stainless grade or item specification, surface finish, cleaning products and intended use. The required contrast and durability should be assessed for those conditions; a generic engraving description does not establish resistance to every cleaning process.

Can you engrave our brand logo, and what file do you need?

Send the vector logo when available, the desired mark size and a photo of the item. Fine strokes, small lettering and gradients need review at the finished size. The layout shows the position and orientation for approval before production.

What does engraving cost, and is there a minimum quantity?

The quote depends on the item material, mark area, artwork preparation, setup and quantity. Send the total number of items and identify any changing names or numbers so they can be included in the same brief. Pricing and the accepted quantity are confirmed for the job.

Do you engrave for businesses in Burbank and the rest of the Valley?

Angels Print is based in Sun Valley and accepts project inquiries from businesses across the San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles. Send the item details and artwork with your deadline; the quote confirms suitability, production timing and the available pickup or delivery arrangement.
