About

Engraving

Signs Express utilises the latest technology with our range of engraving machines to aid our highly skilled designers in creating personalised, engraved designs suitable for your requirements.

With engraving we can ensure consistency, flexibility and a fast turnaround. There are lots of products that utilise engraving including plaques, data plates, tags and electric components.

Many signs and graphics are also created using an engraving machine, with the precision allowing an accurate and sharp finish.

 

Why is Engraving used?

There are two main areas where engraving is used:

  1. To produce smaller scale signs which are required to be robust, due to them either being in an outdoor location or in high wear areas. This is common for valve, cable, machine and asset tags and control panels.
  2. For decorative signs, such as plaques engraving can also be used to produce creative, intricate and interesting signs using materials such as wood, glass and acrylics.

Which products are made by Engraving?
