Engraving
Engraving Company
Matform is an experienced engraving company providing etching and precision laser engraving services for businesses that require durable, permanent identification solutions. From custom engraved metal labels and aluminium engraved plates to bespoke asset identification products, our laser engraving capabilities deliver clear, accurate and long-lasting results for a wide range of industrial applications.
Unlike printed labels, laser engraved products create a permanent mark that resists fading, wear and environmental exposure, making them suitable for demanding operational environments where identification must remain legible throughout the life of the asset.
Engraved Metal Labels Built to Last
Many industries rely on engraved metal labels to identify equipment, assets, machinery and infrastructure. Laser engraving removes material from the surface to create a precise and permanent mark, ensuring critical information remains visible even in challenging environments.
Our engraved solutions can include:
· Asset identification labels
· Equipment nameplates
· Serial number plates
· Data plates
· Control panel labels
· Safety and information signage
As a specialist metal engraving company, we work with a variety of materials to produce labels that meet both operational and compliance requirements.
Etching
For larger quantities of nameplates, etching offers a cost-effective alternative to laser engraving. We are an experienced etching company who provide high-quality etching on aluminium, brass, and stainless steel. This process involves applying a resin coating, etching the design into the resin, and then submerging the material in a chemical tank to corrode the exposed metal, producing a permanent and precise design.
