Laser Etching

the value of a mark

  • security +

    Laser etching offers a permanent solution to adding professional labels or branding to your gear. Deep etching won’t easily be covered by paint and requires manual ablation to remove.

  • Professional+

    A crisp line of text or logo made by frickin’ lasers looks mighty skookum compared to the guy that gave a soldering iron and a beer to a toddler and asked them to write his name.

  • tax deductible

    Getting your gear professionally marked is tax deductible if you use it to earn your income, reducing the effective cost by ~30%. It starts paying for itself as soon as the first photon finds its mark.

  • Insurance ain't cheap...

    But professionally laser marking your valuables is cheap insurance & may attract a reduced premium.

the cost of a mark

  • Straight Engraving

    Straight engraving a simple logo or text is $7/item ($5 if you’re an apprentice) + a setup fee of $20.
    If you are getting more than 20 items engraved the setup fee is waived.

  • Complex engraving

    Fiddly designs, photographs and tricky work pieces that require extra setup incur extra cost to be negotiated at the time of quoting the job.

  • Stealth marking

    Stealth Marking fits nicely in-between the grey area of straight and complex engraving. These start at the same price as straight engraving but may incur a surcharge if significant additional setup is required per-item. For reference, the advertised stealth logos on the concealed portion of a Milwaukee Packout latch do -not- attract a surcharge as they are relatively simple to set up

  • apprentice discount

    $2 off per unit on straight engraving and setup costs waved on >15 items.

  • Design work

    POA. This is highly variable based on a number of factors around complexity, number of re-works, starting images (if provided).
