Which engraving laminate is right for your project?

Our range of engraving laminates has been significantly expanded. Our trusted Engraving Laminate ABS has been renamed: Economy Engraving Laminate. Additionally, we now have three new engraving materials: Premium Engraving Laminate, Transparent Engraving Laminate, and Engraving Foil.

This suddenly opens up many more possibilities. A UV-resistant engraving laminate for outdoor use, a transparent variant that lets you play with light, or a thin foil you can stick directly onto something after engraving.

But which engraving laminate do you need for your design? The biggest difference lies in the application. We've listed the four options for you.

Economy Engraving Laminate: ABS Engraving Laminate for indoor use

Examples of laser-engraved Economy engraving laminate in multiple colours.

Economy Engraving Laminate you might already know as Engraving Laminate ABS. This laminate is made from two contrasting colour layers. You engrave away the thin top layer, revealing the core colour.

Economy is available in many different colours, including metallic gold, silver, and bronze. This makes it a versatile choice for applications like nameplates, rating plates, signage, and other visual uses.

The material may discolour in direct sunlight. For outdoor use, you should therefore choose Premium.

Choose Economy if: you're looking for an affordable, high-contrast engraving laminate for indoor use and want a wide choice of colours.

Premium Engraving Laminate: Scratch and weather-resistant (100% acrylic)

Premium Engraving Laminate is one of the new additions to the range. This laminate is designed for applications where higher quality and UV resistance are important.

Premium is made from PMMA (acrylic), is UV-resistant and suitable for outdoor use. It is less prone to scratches than Economy Engraving Laminate. These laminates consist of two colour layers. When you engrave the top layer, the contrasting underlayer appears.

It is suitable for house number plates, outdoor signage and information boards, as well as industrial applications such as rating plates and machine panels.

Premium is slightly more expensive than Economy, but you get a more durable material in return.

Choose Premium if: UV resistance, scratch resistance, and a long lifespan are important.

Transparent Engraving Laminate: Allows light through the engravings

Transparent Engraving Laminate is made from acrylic (PMMA), is suitable for outdoor use and UV-resistant.

You can do interesting things with it. For example, place a light source behind the laminate or let LED light enter from the side to illuminate your engraving.

This makes this laminate interesting for illuminated nameplates, dashboards, logos, and other edge-lit applications.

Choose Transparent Engraving Laminate if: transparency, light, or a highly consistent laminate thickness are part of your design.

Engraving Foil: Ready-made stickers in any shape

Engraving Foil is also new and quite different from our usual laminates. The material is only 0.2 mm thick, flexible, and has a self-adhesive backing.

Engraving Foil is made from acrylic (PMMA), is suitable for outdoor use and UV-resistant.

You can engrave and laser cut the foil, then stick the cut-out part directly onto another surface. Because the material is flexible, this works not only on flat surfaces but also on rounded or curved shapes.

Consider applications such as labels, tool markings, name tags, instruction labels, or QR codes.

Choose Engraving Foil if: you want a thin, flexible engraving that you can stick directly onto something.
