When it comes to engraving, there are a few different methods that can be used to create many different desired looks. At Award Masters Inc, we specialize in creating customized corporate awards, and we have a lot of experience with engraving. In this blog post, we'll be discussing the five most common types of engraving: abrasive etching, laser engraving, UV printing, full color, and sublimation.
Abrasive Etching
Abrasive etching is a type of engraving that uses a rotating cylinder covered in sandpaper to remove the top layer of material from the object being engraved. This type of engraving is typically used on softer materials like plastic and glass.
Laser Engraving
Laser engraving is a type of engraving that uses a laser beam to remove material from the object being engraved. This type of engraving can be used on a wide variety of materials, including wood, metal, glass, and plastic.
UV Printing
UV printing is a type of printing that uses ultraviolet light to cure (dry) ink that has been applied to the surface of an object. This type of printing is typically used on materials like glass and metal.
Full-Color Printing
Full-color printing is a type of printing that uses four colors (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) to create a full-color image. This type of printing can be used on a wide variety of materials, including metal plates, which are commonly used to produce trophies.
Sublimation Printing
Sublimation printing is a type of printing that uses heat to transfer dye onto an object. This type of printing is typically used on materials like plastic and fabric.
