Engraved Corporate Gifts Are Excellent Promotional Gift Items

Engraved corporate gifts often confuse experienced buyers - and if truth be told, promotional gift sales people as well - who ask for engraving when they mean etching; and they are not alone in not quite knowing the difference.

Hand engraving is not used to engrave a personalized business gift now due to the economics of the labour market; and it slow, expensive and not very accurate and only seen in some departmen stores for engraving one-off pen gifts. Also, it is no where near as good as laser engraved corporate gifts.

If you want intricate and complex motifs and logos to be reproduced reasonably cheaply then laser engaraving is the process of choice.

Nevertheless,it is true, that some corporate logo gifts that seem to be hand engraved or even chemically etched are, in reality, not actually engraved; even the most practised eye is easily deceived.

Personalized business gifs such as glass and crystal are often branded using a stencil and a sandblasting cabinet. This is OK if the customer is aware of this cheaper process and know precisely what they are buying.

The sandblasting way of personalizing as used on some engraved corporate gifts is fine for many glass and crystal promotional gift items and is a favorite way of personalizing paperweights with a logo perhaps a personal name as well as a strap line.

Engraved designs may be filled with a choice of colors which have a most delightful effect. However, you should be aware that this method is only suitable for spot colors and is not possible to reproduce a full color image like this.

If a club crest or coat-of-arms is required on glass or crystal a transfer print will be the most economical process as hand painting will be too expensive even on smaller quantities - say fewer than 25 or so.

Some promotional give aways and recognition items which look superb when laser engraved include identity badges, name badges, conference badges, promotional coasters, advertising coasters, award plaques, glass paperweights, crystal paperweights and desk name plates.

Steel, brass and aluminum promotional coasters are especially attractive when laser engraved allowing the base metal to show through the top coating and creating a quite unique effect. Likewise, other promotional give aways such as identity badges, name badges, conference badges are often quite stunning when thjey show shrough a colored background.

Advertising pens,the post popular of all branded gifts, are on a another plane as promotional give aways and recognition products when laser engraved or chemically etched but this only applies if the pen gifts are at the quality end of the market.
