As a full-service sign shop, we always try to stay ahead of the trends in the signage industry. Part of that is purchasing the latest equipment to ensure our clients are getting the best signage on the market. That is why we are excited to announce that we recently purchased a laser engraver. To help you understand what that means for our customers, read on to learn about this exciting new tool. ## What Is a Laser Engraver? As the name suggests, laser engravers use lasers to mark or etch the surface of a material. Though it has its disadvantages, laser engravers are considered to be superior to other engraving methods. For example, it has unparalleled precision, but many sign companies cannot afford a laser engraver due to its hefty price tag. This technology can be used on an array of materials for many applications. We are already using our new toy for a variety of jobs, especially laser engraved plaques and awards for Los Angeles. Our professional engraving services cover both commercial and industrial engraved item production. Low-quality engraving is usually more affordable than high-quality engraving, yet with high-quality engraving, you can duplicate images or graphics precisely. Engraving is often used for artistic work because of the wide selection of materials that can be engraved. ## Plaque and Award Materials Our new laser engraver can [render text and images](https://www.thesignstudioonline.com/Design-Tips-for-Effective-Signs/blog/bid/88431/Sign-Plaques-In-Style-and-Last-Forever-Bronze-Brass-Aluminum) on plastic, stone, natural materials, metals, and glass. As a matter of fact, engraving is the primary type of marking for any purpose for metal and stone. Other kinds of engravers typically cannot engrave glass, stone, or other harder materials. For example, to create images inside of hard, crystalline material, you need to use lasers. ## Choose Awards that Recipients Are Proud to Display ![Fullscreen_capture_142016_105538_AM](https://www.thesignstudioonline.com/hubfs/Fullscreen_capture_142016_105538_AM.jpg)Have you ever won an award and been disappointed in the quality of the materials and craftsmanship that went into your new commemorative piece?
