Laser engraving characteristics

Laser engraving, also called Laser carving or laser marking, is a surface treatment process using optical principles to form LOGO or patterns on the product surface. The laser engraving effect is permanent and has high surface quality. It is suitable for various hardware and plastic materials, such as aluminum alloy, copper alloy, zinc alloy, magnesium alloy, stainless steel, carbon steel, and some plastic materials.


Silk screen printing characteristics
Silk screen printing means that the ink is transferred to the product through the screen. The color of the ink can be customized according to the customer's needs. PROMETAL CNC Co. has made 6 colors in a same product, including black, red, blue, yellow and white and green. If you want the silk screen effect to last longer, you can also add a layer of UV after silk screen printing. Silk screen printing is suitable for all kinds of metal and plastic materials. It can also be combined with surface treatment such as oxidation, painting, dusting, electroplating, electrophoresis, etc. Sales@prometalcnc.com.


The difference between laser engraving and silk screen printing
1. The laser engraving process forms a LOGO and a pattern on the product by a laser beam, and the surface treatment coating of the product will be removed, which is concave; the silk screen product transfers the LOGO and the pattern onto the product by means of ink adhesion. It is raised.
2. The color of the logo and pattern of the laser engraving process is the material color, and the color of the silk screen printing logo and pattern is color of the ink, which is customized.
3. In terms of wear resistance, the laser engraving effect is more durable than the silk screen effect.
4. The cost is not the same, the laser engraving process is more economical because it does not require film, and silk screen needs.
