The Best Method for Engraving Glass and Acrylic Awards: Sandblasting vs Laser Cutting<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today, more than ever, awards in business, education and sports are essential. Symbols of success, achievement, excellence and appreciation \u2013 awards are the best way to frame memories on the wall of time.\u00a0But award ceremonies and events are incomplete when you fail to invest in high-quality medals, plaques, medallions, or plates engraved with a personalised message and your business logo.<\/p>\n

Personalised Recognition is Priceless<\/strong><\/p>\n

Personalising your awards is the best way to show that you acknowledge your student, sports achiever or employee\u2019s efforts. But when it comes to choosing the right type of engraving, you want to pick the best method so the award will last for a lifetime. If you\u2019re on the fence about which engraving method is best for your awards \u2013 here\u2019s what you should know about glass sandblasting<\/strong><\/a> and laser cutting.<\/p>\n

Sandblasting vs Laser Cutting<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sandblasting<\/strong> is the most common method of engraving used in the trophy industry today. A century-old method that uses precision to engrave text, logos, and graphics, this method is used on crystal, glass, acrylic, metal, and other hard materials. Widely used because of its accuracy to etch clean and detailed graphics, sandblasting <\/strong>has become an art form, different from the others.<\/p>\n

Laser cutting, on the other hand, has become a household name in the awards industry. Laser cutting is fast, precise, and it\u2019s a much cheaper method of engraving than sandblasting<\/strong> \u2013 but only because less manual labour is required to engrave with a laser. Although laser cutting is used widely on metal, laser cutting looks better and lasts longer on wood and acrylic.<\/p>\n

Now that you have a better idea of which engraving method will be best for your awards and budget, your next step is to partner with a renowned awards supplier and engraver.
