Etching Plastic

Laser etching and engraving are ways to mark the surface of a material — like plastic, metal, or wood — using a laser beam, but they’re slightly different:

• Laser engraving: The laser removes material to create a deep mark. It actually carves into the surface, making grooves you can feel. It's great for permanent, detailed designs like logos, serial numbers, or artwork.
• Laser etching: This is a type of engraving but shallower. Instead of carving deep, the laser melts the surface just a little, creating a raised or textured mark. 

Both are contactless, super precise, and often used on plastic, metal, glass, and more for things like tags, awards, custom parts, signs and decorations.
