What is engraving?
Laser engraving is the marking of a drawing on the surface of a material. This can be done with a single line or in a plane. The laser beam does not pass through the sheet.
Line engraving
A mark from one thin line is a line engraving. Nice for tight line drawings, but not ideal for text.
Surface engraving
A filled plane is a plane engraving. It is made of many lines so close together that they appear to be one plane.
Line and plane engraving
Together, a line and plane engraving make a clear mark. The plane engraving stands out and the line engraving allows for refined details.

Materials you can engrave
Laser engraving marks a mark on the surface of a material. Because no ink is used, laser engraving looks different on each material. These are the materials that are suitable for laser engraving.
Wood
Wood becomes dark brown with a clear contrast
Acrylic in dark colors
Standard CO2 laser engraving is light in color and provides reasonably good contrast.
Acrylic in light colors
The standard CO2 laser engraving is white in color and therefore less visible. In some cases, we can make darker engravings with the Fiber laser.
Engraving plate
Engraving plate consists of two layers of different colors. By engraving away the top layer, the inner layer becomes visible. Many color combinations are available.
PE Foam
PE foam does not discolor but a clearly visible relief is created. Logos and text look good as a result, provided they are not too small.
Metal
We engrave stainless steel, brass and aluminum with a fiber laser and can be engraved light or dark depending on the requirements.
Leather
Leather turns dark brown with a distinct contrast. Because the leather burns, the engraving can sometimes rub off a bit.
Stone
Stone usually turns a lighter color from laser engraving.
PE, PP and PS, POM and PETG
These plastics do not discolor through laser engraving. Line engravings are visible through the relief, but the contrast is small.
What the customer has to say
Amber van Buurman
We have been working with Snijlab for years for engraving our bite boards. The boards are made from trees felled in the city by Rotterdam Wood, this wood is thus saved from the chipper. By engraving at Snijlab we keep our production chain local.
