Note: Hereby laser printing is laser engraving, which is different from inkjet, or silk print. And today we are talking is about the business use printing logo, part number or company name, etc.
Laser Engraving Description
Laser engraving processing is based on CNC technology, with laser as the processing medium. The instantaneous melting and gasification of processed materials under laser engraving irradiation can enable laser engraving to achieve the purpose of processing. Laser engraving is the use of laser technology to engrave words on objects. The words produced by this technology are not scored, the surface of the object is still smooth, and the handwriting will not wear out.
Advantage of Laser Printing
- Wide range: Carbon dioxide laser can carve and cut almost any non-metallic material with low cost.
- Safe and reliable: Adopting non-contact processing, without contact with the material surface, without “knife marks”, unaffected by mechanical movement, the surface will not deform, generally without fixation, and will not cause mechanical compression or stress on the material;
- Accurate and meticulous: the machining accuracy can reach 0.02mm, with high machining accuracy and fast speed;
- Economical and environmentally friendly: The diameter of the beam and spot is small, usually less than 0.5mm; Cutting and processing saves materials, ensuring safety and hygiene;
- Consistent effect: Ensure that the processing effect of the same batch is completely consistent;
- High speed and speed: can immediately perform high-speed engraving based on the computer output pattern;
- Low cost: not limited by the quantity of processing, laser processing is cheaper for small batch processing services;
- Widely used: not affected by the elasticity and flexibility of materials, making it easy to process soft materials.

FAQ
How much if we want to laser print our logo?
About usd0.03/pc, we will charge on product itself, but if large quantity, will do it for free. Contact us if any need?

What is difference between laser print and silk print?
Both types are mainly print customer logo or text on product, but they are two different methods:
Silk print is mainly print by logo, text by hand, one color by one color, it is slow, but can print multi colors, it is good for brand promotion, easy to notify.
Laser print is made by automatic machine, fast to operate, and long lasting. But the operation cost can do print one color, and cost is much higher than silk print, because we should buy a printing machine firstly, but silk print mold only cost around usd15/color.
What is screen printing?
Screen printing refers to the use of silk screen as the substrate and the use of photosensitive plate making methods to create a screen printing plate with graphics and text. It is mainly done by manual when mass production in factory.
If you wanna know more about silk print, please refer to silk print post: What is silk print?
How many colors of my LOGO?
4 colors: black, blue, red and gray.
We judge the color according to the color spectrum, and the customer can directly tell us the color code number and logo size needed, then we will make drawing for your reference. If not, will will design and count by ourself and confirm with clients.
If we want to print our colorful logo, can you do?
Yes, certainly we can print colorful logo, will do with silk print manually. If one color logo, can use both laser printing or screen printing. Normally laser printing will be gray color, but it may change according to the product surface color itself.
Can you print 3 color logo?
Yes, we can printing 3 color logo by screen print, laser print can not do. Generally, if quantity ok, will do it for free. But if more than 1 color, will charge, the cost is usd0.03/color, so 3 colors will add cost 0.09usd/product.
Can I screen the gradient logo?
Due to laser print can only do one color, most of the time, it is gray, can not do gradient. And in our factory, there is no equipment to do that. If you insist, will print outside, the cost is expensive, maybe around usd0.50/pc.
What should we provide before printing my logo?
- Please help offer the logo original file in any of below formation: .jpg, .ai, .cdr, .png, .pdf, etc. The higher the accuracy of the image, the better.
- Also please tell us the logo size: length*width, unit:mm.
- Please offer the logo position on the product you wanna us to print.
How do you ensure that you can do the same as our logo?
After you share the logo details with us, will make a draft jpg for your reference, and before mass production, we can make sample to check firstly. We can only start production after both parties confirm that there are no issues with the samples.
