Laser Engraving on Metal in Kyiv

We apply images and lettering to metal with a laser. Unlike printing or a sticker, engraving doesn't wear off or fade: the mark sits in the metal itself, so the inscription survives washing, oil and years of service. We handle both one-off items and serial part marking.

What it gives you

The laser beam alters the metal surface point by point — depending on the mode, this looks like a light matte mark, a dark high-contrast image or a recessed engraving. The process is computer-controlled, so:

• the line comes out thin and crisp — fine text and intricate graphics are possible;
• every item in a batch comes out identical, with no "human factor";
• there is no contact with the surface, so the part doesn't deform;
• no consumables are needed — no paints, solvents or films.

What we apply

• Logos and brand marks — on products, equipment housings, tools.
• Nameplates and plates — technical, address, informational, with equipment data.
• Part marking — serial numbers, part numbers, dates, material designations.
• Barcodes and QR codes — for inventory, traceability and access to documentation.
• Scales and graduations — on control panels, measuring elements, jigs.
• Commemorative and award items — inscriptions on metal souvenirs and gifts.

On which metals

The best results are on stainless steel: the contrast comes out crisp and durable, which is why it's the usual choice for nameplates and marking. Mild steel, aluminum (including anodized — on it the lettering comes out light on a colored background), brass and copper also engrave well.

Engraving is also possible on an already painted surface: the laser removes the paint layer and exposes the metal — this is how high-contrast lettering is made on powder coating.

Industrial marking

For manufacturers, engraving solves the traceability problem: every part gets a unique number or code that can't get lost the way a sticker can. This matters for critical assemblies, equipment undergoing certification, and products serviced for years.

We apply marking both as a standalone service on your parts and as part of the full cycle — when we make the product ourselves and mark it right away.

How much it costs

The cost depends on the area and density of the image: a thin outline inscription takes seconds, while solid filling of a large area takes far longer. Then come material, quantity, and whether fixtures are needed to position the parts in a batch.

A series is always cheaper than a one-off application: the program is prepared once. Send us your artwork and a description of the item via the form — we'll quote within one business day.

What artwork to send

Best of all — a vector file: DXF, SVG, EPS or AI. Vector graphics scale without quality loss, and the lines come out crisp.

A raster image (JPG, PNG) works too, but it must be high-resolution and high-contrast — the laser reproduces halftones only to a limited extent, so a photo is best simplified into graphics beforehand. Convert the text in the artwork to curves, otherwise the font may get substituted.

No artwork ready? Describe what needs to be applied — we'll prepare the file ourselves and show you how it will look on your item.

Worth knowing in advance

• Contrast depends on the metal. On stainless the image is crisper than on plain steel; polished surfaces give a more pronounced result than matte ones.
• Fine text has a limit. Very small letters blur together — the practical minimum depends on the material, and we'll advise for your case.
• The item's shape matters. Flat surfaces are the easiest to engrave; cylindrical and three-dimensional parts require fixtures, and this affects the price.

Together with fabrication

Engraving is most often ordered as part of a package: we laser-cut the part, bend and paint it if needed, and then apply the marking or logo — all at one production site, with no shipping back and forth. We work the same way with perforated panels when a pattern needs to be complemented with lettering.
