Awards, medals and signage
Etched name cards, labels, medals and belt plates, either as plate supply or as finished OEM etch work.
This sector splits between buyers who want material and buyers who want the finished part. We serve both, because the etch service runs on the same plates, chemistry and machines that we sell, rather than being a separate business.
The depth requirement varies sharply within the sector. A name card or label is shallow and fine; a wrestle belt plate is deep and heavily sculpted, closer to die work than to a printing plate, and the two need different plate thicknesses and different etch times.
Typical Applications
- Plate supply or finished OEM etch work
- Shallow fine work and deep sculpted work
- Drawing reviewed before anything is cut
