Satins & Metallics

Satin-finish engraving materials are an excellent option for professional and high-end signage applications thanks to their smooth, low-glare surface. This is a perfect option for those wanting a sophisticated look that also reduces reflections to improve readability in different lighting conditions. The material itself is made from acrylic or plastic laminates with two layers: a top engraving material and another contrasting color underneath. Common uses include:

  • Office nameplates
  • Wayfinding and directional signs
  • Plaques and awards
  • Interior branding signage

 

Do you desire the sleek, professional look of metals such as brass or aluminum but without the associated cost or weight of those materials? Metallic sign engraving material is designed to give the polished presence and durability of metal while being more lightweight and cost-efficient. Available in various finishes, including glossy, satin, and brushed, metallics are popular for their durability and easy engraving. These characteristics make them a great choice for:

  • Awards
  • Nameplates
  • Labels

 

Here at Bell Company, Inc., we’re ready to meet your various project needs with a wide selection of engraving materials! Check out our comprehensive selection of Satins and Metallics on page 5 of our Color Chart.

Weather Resistant Material

With acrylic being a scratch and UV/sunlight-resistant material, it is the premier choice for weather-resistant engraving material. Acrylic is a rotary engraving plastic. For this reason, it is able to withstand the elements and maintain its attractive appearance. Whether you need to use acrylic for laser engraving, vinyl applications, UV-LED printing, or cutouts, this modern, resistant finish has the dynamic durability necessary for indoor and outdoor use. Use it for the following applications:

  • Recreational signs
  • Interior/exterior signage
  • Name tags/badges

Laser Engraving Material

At Bell Company, Inc., we specialize in a wide range of signage materials, including laser engraving materials. One of the most popular is laminates. These multi-layer plastic sheets come in a variety of colors and can be used for indoor and outdoor applications. Laser engraver materials like laminates are usually made up of two to three layers with a modified acrylic core underneath a thin top layer. To create the lettering, the uppermost layer is quickly removed by the laser machine to reveal the core material color.

There are many laser engraving materials suppliers out there, but with over 75 years of experience, the quality, customer service, and expertise of Bell Company, Inc. are unmatched.

Micro Thin Material

Not all materials for laser engraving are created equal. The UltraGrave Satin is an incredibly user-friendly laminate that is also multi-functional to suit a variety of signage needs. This laser engraving material has a sturdy acrylic core covered by a long-lasting UV-stable polymer cap available in vivid, satin-finished colors.
