P&M Plastics provides precision 2D and 3D laser engraving and etching services for industrial, commercial, and creative applications. Our CO2 laser systems deliver highly detailed surface marking, deep engraving, and photo-realistic etching on acrylic, perspex, timber, leather, glass, and selected metals.

2D laser engraving removes material from the surface to create text, logos, serial numbers, barcodes, and decorative patterns with crisp, permanent results.

It's ideal for signage, control panels, safety labels, awards, and branded merchandise. 3D laser engraving takes this further by varying the laser power and speed to create depth-graduated engravings that produce a tactile, three-dimensional effect: perfect for premium signage, architectural features, trophies, and artistic applications.

Our etching services produce fine surface marks without significant material removal, suitable for glass-like frosted effects on acrylic, subtle branding, and decorative textures.

We handle everything from individual custom pieces to high-volume production runs with barcodes, serial numbers, or variable data. All engraving is programmed from your supplied artwork files (AI, DXF, PDF, SVG, or high-resolution images for photo engraving).

Our team can advise on material suitability, engraving depth, and finish options to achieve the best result for your project.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between 2D and 3D engraving?
2D engraving removes material at a uniform depth for text and logos. 3D engraving varies the depth to create a sculpted, three-dimensional effect.
Can you engrave photos onto acrylic?
Yes: we can reproduce high-resolution photographs as laser-etched images on acrylic and other materials.
Is laser engraving permanent?
Yes, laser engraving physically removes or marks the material surface, creating a permanent result that won't rub off or fade.
