Live Engraving
Hand engraving is an artisan technique which involves meticulously etching personalised designs such as names, initials or a special date onto various surfaces such as metal and glass, transforming items into unique, high-quality keepsakes. Perfect for product launches, corporate events and engraving for gifts.
Using a cordless portable micro drill, customisations are permanently etched by hand onto the surface, Each piece becomes a unique keepsake that enhances your event or product launch.
Engraving is executed in a considered range of modern or traditional styles, chosen for their clarity, precision, and suitability for glass and metal. It is frequently delivered on its own or alongside other live personalisation services within retail and event environments.
