Benefits of Laser Engraving?

✓ Permanent & Scratch-Resistant: Unlike screen printing or vinyl transfers, laser marking or etching removes or alters the surface material directly. It won’t peel or wash off.
✓ High Precision & Crisp Detail: Perfect for intricate part numbers, part identification, bar codes, QR codes, corporate logos, micro-text, and personalized employee names.
✓ Eco-Friendly Process: No solvent inks, chemicals, or screen setup waste involved.
✓ Individual Personalization at Scale: Effortlessly add individual names or variable data (e.g., employee name + company logo) across batch orders.

Laser Alliance provides high-precision laser cutting and laser marking services for a wide range of metals, including bare aluminum, anodized aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, and mild or powder-coated steel.

Our advanced CO2 laser systems produce clean edges, sharp contrast, and highly detailed engraving ideal for industrial, commercial, and custom applications.

We provide cost-effective solutions for small projects and prototypes with normal turnaround of 2 to 4 working days. Expedite services are also available.

Capacities:

• Large work area: 39″ L × 24″ W for most metal engraving projects
• Extended-length capability for longer parts and oversized components

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What type of laser do you use?
We use CO2 to achieve beautiful results in laser marking in bare and coated metals.

Q: What are the differences between laser marking and laser engraving?
A: When laser process removes metal or coated surface, we call it laser engraving. If we only apply the details to the surface of metals, we call it laser marking or laser etching.

Q: What file format works best for laser engraving?

A: Vector files (.AI, .EPS, .SVG) work best because they ensure clean, sharp lines. If you only have a raster image, our design team can vectorize it for you.

Q: Do you have minimum order quantities (MOQs)?
A: We accommodate both small batch executive runs (10–25 units) and high-volume event orders (1,000+ units) with volume tier discounting.
