What We
Offer
- Laser marking for permanent identification, branding, labels, serial numbers, QR codes and asset tags
- Laser engraving where a physical mark, depth or tactile detail is required
- Laser annealing for clean cosmetic stainless marking without removing material or creating surface texture
- Laser surfacing for decorative brushing, patterning, texture effects and controlled cosmetic surface finishes
- Logo plates, nameplates, compliance plates, product labels and small branded components
Marking
Types
- Laser annealing: best for premium cosmetic stainless finishes. The laser creates an oxide mark within the material surface without removing material, so the face stays smooth, keeps its shine and does not gain a rough surface texture.
- Surface marking: suitable for logos, part IDs, QR codes and general product marking on metals, coated surfaces and selected plastics.
- Deep engraving: used when the mark needs depth, surface texture or a more physical engraved appearance.
- Laser surfacing: used for cosmetic brushing, line patterns, decorative textures and controlled surface patterning where the finish itself is the feature.
Laser
Annealing
Laser annealing is a specialised marking process for stainless steel where the material oxidises within the surface. It creates a permanent dark mark without cutting into the metal, removing material or changing the surface texture. The result is ideal for premium logo work, branding, identification plates and decorative marking where the part still needs to keep its smooth metallic shine.
Application
Areas
- Stainless steel, aluminium, brass and coated metal marking
- QR codes, serial numbers, product labels and asset tags
- Logo plates, nameplates, compliance plates and branded metal tags
- Decorative engraving, cosmetic brushing, patterned finishes and small branded parts
- Deep engraving where a more physical mark is required
Surface Reconditioning
& Engraving Process
For cosmetic brass, stainless and display parts, the finish can matter as much as the mark itself. We can recondition poor raw material, control or change the grain direction, then laser engrave or mark the final surface so the finished part looks intentional rather than just processed.

FAQ
Yes. Stainless can be marked, annealed or engraved depending on the finish required. For the best cosmetic finish, annealing is usually preferred because it does not cut into the surface.
For stainless steel, laser annealing is usually the cleanest cosmetic option. It creates a permanent oxide mark without removing material, which helps the surface stay smooth, shiny and corrosion-resistant.
Yes. QR codes are a good fit, especially for tags, labels, asset plates and product ID.
Yes. We can offer laser surfacing for cosmetic brushing, line effects, patterning and decorative surface finishes.
Ideally DXF, DWG or SVG files, but if none are available, we do offer drafting services and can work off any clean photo or PDF in most cases.
