Reverse Engraving and Printing

Reverse engraving or printing is usually performed on materials such as acrylic, glass or any other transparent material.  The design, logo, part number etc is laser engraved onto the back or the underside of the material to create a smooth.effect.  To create a more distinct and eye-catching effect the engraved in areas can then be filled in with a contrasting colour.

Reverse engraving can also be employed to achieve a three-dimensional effect, this is particularly advantageous if you are wanting a sign made of wood to stand out. Rather than engrave the text our laser engraving machine engraves the space around the text, thus leaving the text raised and untouched.
