What etching does

Etching changes the surface of the metal where your design is, creating a lasting mark that contrasts with the untouched metal around it.

Where etched iron is used

Name plates, machinery tags, equipment identification, signs and decorative panels. It suits any application where a label must last.

Preparing your design

Send a clear logo or text in a high-resolution or vector file. Bold lines and simple shapes etch most cleanly. Tell us the plate size and how it will be mounted.
