Added value for the customer, more profit for the engraver
Personalized products are becoming increasingly popular. An engraver’s field of application is very diverse. Companies and end customers can easily increase their business by expanding their product range. The offer for end customers is as varied as the materials. Be it coffee cups, wine glasses or baby gifts – a personal dedication with names, text, logos or photos makes these types of items very unique. But personalized signs, stamps, medals and trophies, data plates or various types of contract engraving of components can also be a lucrative business for companies, both as individual pieces or in mass production.

Why should you use a laser for personalization?
Why should you use a laser for personalization?
Added value through personalization with laser engraving: Many products can be personalized with designs, logos and lettering using a laser engraving machine. This creates unique items that increase the product’s value many times over the original product. Therefore, these items generate a very handsome profit. In addition, the production of individual pieces, small series or large series is inexpensive and economically feasible. The contactless laser processing saves a lot of time and money compared to mechanical engraving, where the material often has to be clamped.

What price can you charge for laser-engraved items?
End consumers are generally willing to pay higher prices for products with a personal dedication. The price for items with an individual laser engraving is therefore often determined by the price per product achievable on the market. It is common for end customers to pay 5 to 10 times the standard product price for personalization.
Laser technology also makes personalization efficient for high-volume production
It’s not just the personalization of individual items or small batches that can be implemented cost-effectively with a laser machine. Larger orders of personalized products can also be economically produced using a laser, so even more money can be earned. Templates are an extremely useful tool for larger orders, allowing you to engrave multiple pieces in one operation and save time. The output is maximized when the template is adapted to the work area of the laser machine.
