Custom Metal Etching Services for Nameplates, Labels & Tags


✅ What is Metal Etching?

Metal etching is a subtractive manufacturing process that uses acid or chemicals to precisely remove surface layers of metal, creating permanent, high-contrast designs. It is ideal for text, logos, serial numbers, and barcodes on flat metal surfaces.

Our etching process delivers sharp detail, high durability, and excellent wear resistance — perfect for industrial, branding, or identification needs.
