Artwork Preparation for Laser Marking & Engraving
Artwork Preparation for Laser Marking & Engraving
Don't Have the Right File? That's Not a Problem.
When it comes to laser marking, engraving, and cutting you don't need to have to have perfect artwork before getting in touch with us.
Many of our customers contact us with nothing more than a photograph, an old PDF, a hand sketch or a low-resolution company logo. Others have inherited legacy drawings from previous suppliers or need an existing data plate recreating from scratch.
Preparing artwork for production is simply part of what we do.
Our aim is to make the process as straightforward as possible, allowing you to concentrate on your project while we prepare the files needed to manufacture your parts accurately.
Why Artwork Often Needs Adjusting
Artwork supplied by customers isn't usually wrong—it's simply created for a different purpose.
A logo designed for a website may not engrave clearly onto stainless steel.
A PDF created for printing may contain fonts that aren't embedded.
A CAD drawing may contain thousands of tiny line segments that need optimising before laser processing.
Before production we check every file to ensure it is suitable for the manufacturing process, helping to reduce delays, avoid errors and achieve the best possible finish.

Every Job Starts with a Proof
Unless agreed otherwise, we'll normally provide a proof showing exactly how your finished part will look before manufacture begins.
This gives you the opportunity to check:
Dimensions
Wording
Logos
Serial numbers
Orientation
Hole positions
Material selection
This helps eliminate misunderstandings and ensures everyone is working from the same approved design.
