Commercial laser engraving: the key facts
Precision Cutworks provides laser engraving for businesses and individuals, marking logos, text, numbering and artwork onto acrylic, wood, plywood, MDF, slate and approved customer-supplied items. Work ranges from single pieces to batch and repeat orders, including white-label work for trade customers.
- What is commercial laser engraving?
A laser removes a thin layer of a material’s surface to mark it permanently with your design. There are no inks to fade, and each item in a batch is engraved from the same digital artwork.
- Who is it for?
Businesses branding products or merchandise, retailers personalising stock, sign makers, event and marketing companies, organisations ordering awards or plaques, and individuals.
- Which materials can be engraved?
Acrylic (including mirror acrylic), wood, plywood, MDF, slate and selected plastics, plus suitable items you supply. See Materials & Capabilities.
- What applications are supported?
Logo branding, product personalisation, labels and nameplates, numbering and identification, awards and plaques, signage and corporate gifts.
- Do you engrave one-off items?
Yes. We welcome one-off pieces and prototypes as well as larger orders.
- Do you engrave in bulk?
Yes. See Bulk & Batch Engraving for larger quantities and repeat orders.
- Can you engrave products I supply?
Often, yes. We check every supplied item first: the material must be laser-compatible, and the item must fit in the machine and be held securely. Tell us what the item is, what it is made from and how many you have. See Customer-Supplied Materials.
- Which artwork formats do you accept?
Vector files (SVG, PDF, AI or DXF) give the sharpest results for logos and text. PNG and JPG files can be used for photographs and raster images, or as a reference if you need artwork preparation.
- How is engraving priced?
Engraving is quoted per job. The price depends on the engraved area and detail, the quantity, how items are positioned in the machine, whether we supply the material, and delivery. See Quotation & Payment Terms.
- How do I request a quotation?
Use our quote request form to send your requirements, quantities and artwork files. We review every enquiry and reply with a tailored quotation or any questions we have.
Engraving for business
Permanent marking, consistent across every item
Laser engraving gives a clean, permanent finish that suits branding, identification and personalisation. Your artwork is engraved directly from a digital file, so it is reproduced the same way on every item.
The finish depends on the material. Wood and MDF darken where engraved, cast acrylic turns a frosted white, and slate engraves to a lighter grey. We’ll explain what to expect for your material when we quote.
For products you supply, we check the material and how each item can be positioned before we accept the job. On larger orders we may suggest a sample first so you can approve the result.

We work from your design files. For cutting, we need vector artwork: SVG, DXF, PDF or AI files drawn at 1:1 scale in millimetres. PNG and JPG files are suitable for engraving photographs and raster images, or as a reference if you need help preparing artwork.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Can businesses outsource laser engraving?
Yes. We engrave for businesses that do not have their own laser, or that need extra capacity. That includes trade and white-label work. See Trade & White-Label Manufacturing.
How much does commercial laser engraving cost?
Every job is quoted individually, because cost depends on the material, engraved area and detail, quantity and delivery. Send us your details and we’ll prepare a quote.
Can you engrave products supplied by another business?
Yes, subject to checks. Tell us what the items are, what they are made from, the quantity and the artwork. We may ask for a sample item before we confirm.
Can each item be engraved with a different name or number?
Yes. Supply the names or numbers as a spreadsheet or list, and we’ll confirm how they will be laid out.
Can I see a sample before a large order?
For larger orders or supplied products, we can discuss a sample so you can approve the finish.
Need items engraved?
Tell us what needs engraving, how many, and send your artwork. We’ll prepare a tailored quote.
