Laser vs UV — metal items
Laser engraving for permanent monochrome marks on metal. UV for full-colour, multi-design on metal.
When to choose option A
Laser engraving on metal is permanent, ink-free, and reveals the underlying alloy tone — perfect for stainless bottles, anodised pens, brass keychains and steel power banks. Always single tone, always premium-perceived.
When to choose option B
UV printing on metal lets you reproduce full-colour brand marks, logos with gradients and even photographs. Slightly less premium-feeling than laser but unbeatable when the brand requires exact colour reproduction.
