Laser vs. Rotary Engraving: Which is Right for Your Project?

Our (American Made) laser engraver

When it comes to engraving, not all techniques are created equal. At Basin’s Best Trophies and Engraving, we use both laser and rotary engraving to bring your ideas to life. But what’s the difference, and which one is best for your project? Let’s break it down. 🔍

Laser Engraving: Laser engraving uses a high-powered laser beam to etch designs onto a surface. It’s incredibly precise, making it perfect for intricate details, logos, and fine text. Laser engraving works well on materials like acrylic, glass, wood, and metal. It’s also fast and efficient, ideal for large orders or projects with tight deadlines.

Rotary Engraving: Rotary engraving, on the other hand, uses a spinning cutter to carve into the material. This method is best for deeper, more tactile engravings, such as on metal plaques or awards that need a classic, timeless look. Rotary engraving is particularly effective for materials like metal, wood, and plastic. It’s the go-to choice for creating durable, long-lasting engravings that stand the test of time. If you’re looking for a traditional, elegant finish, rotary engraving is the way to go.

Which One Should You Choose? The choice between laser and rotary engraving depends on your project’s needs. Here’s a quick guide:

• Laser Engraving: Choose this for intricate designs, fine details, or projects on materials like acrylic, glass, or wood. 🖋️

• Rotary Engraving: Opt for this for deeper, more tactile engravings, especially on metal or when you want a classic, durable finish. 🎖️

At Basin’s Best, we’re here to help you decide. Our team of experts will work with you to determine the best technique for your project, ensuring the results are nothing short of perfect.
