What is engraving?
Laser engraving is marking 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 sheet .
Line engraving
A mark from a single thin line is a line engraving. Beautiful 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, 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 drawing on the surface of a material. Because no ink is used, laser engraving looks different on each material. These are the materials suitable for laser engraving.
Wood
Wood turns dark brown with marked contrast
Acrylic in dark colors
Standard CO2 laser engraving is light from color and provides reasonably good contrast.
Acrylic in light colors
The standard CO2 laser engraving is white from color and therefore less visible. In some cases, we can actually use the Fiber laser to produce darker engravings.
engraving laminate
engraving laminate consists of two layers of different colors. Engraving away the top layer reveals the inner layer. 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 marked contrast. Because the leather burns, the engraving may sometimes rub off a bit.
Stone
Stone usually lightens with laser engraving.
PE, PP and PS, POM and PETG
These plastics are not discolored by laser engraving. Line engravings are visible through the relief, but the contrast is small.
Customer speaking
Amber from Buurman
We have been working with Snijlab for years to engrave our bite boards. The boards are made from trees felled in the city by Rotterdams Hout, saving this wood from the chipper. By engraving at Snijlab we keep our production chain local.
