The process

Light does the cutting.

A two-person studio in Slovenia running a dual-source laser: one beam for wood, leather and coatings, a second infrared beam for bare metal. One piece or two hundred, no minimum, no setup drama.

01

Artwork in

Send text, a logo, a signature, a QR code or a photo. Vector files (SVG, PDF, AI, DXF) engrave sharpest, but we redraw clean raster artwork ourselves at no charge. Line art down to 0.2 mm holds detail.

02

Material and method

Each material gets its own source, power and speed. Organics and coatings run on the blue-light source; bare metal runs on the infrared source, which changes the metal itself instead of removing a coating.

03

Test tile and proof

We burn a small test on the same material to lock in contrast and depth, then send you a to-scale digital proof with the exact placement. Nothing goes on your item until you approve it.

04

Engrave, clean, ship

Air-assisted engraving, one to several passes depending on depth. Pieces are cleaned, inspected under light and packed. Slovenia and the EU, 2–4 working days.

Materials

What we can mark

Bare metal — infrared

Stainless steel, titanium, aluminium, brass, copper, silver and gold. Permanent black annealed or frosted marks, no coating, no ink, dishwasher and weather proof.

Wood & organics — blue light

Oak, walnut, birch ply, bamboo, cork, leather, paper and card. Warm dark burn, deep enough to feel with a fingertip.

Coated & painted

Powder-coated tools, anodised aluminium, painted tags and enamelled mugs — the coating is lifted to reveal the base colour underneath.

Acrylic, slate & glass

Dark acrylic engraves and cuts cleanly; slate and stone frost to bright white. Glass and mirrors are marked using a transfer coating.
