Rotary Engraving

We use the Gravograph IS400 Volume rotary engraver. This machine has been the industry standard for engraving for nearly 20 years. The IS400 uses diamond tips, static drag and rotary tools to engrave a wide variety of materials. The IS400 can scribe more than just names and simple text. Names and messages can be engraved in a choice of fonts, and graphics such as logos can also be marked.

Sport & Academic Medals
A wide variety of medal designs are available for sporting and academic achievement. Medals can be engraved to make them personal, and ribboned in school or club colours.

Industrial items such as vehicle and machinery data plates can be engraved in aluminium, stainless steel and brass. These plates can be created from a metal blank or we can engrave pre-formatted plates.
