What is laser engraving?

Laser engraving is a precise method of etching designs onto surfaces using a laser beam. You can add a personalized touch to your board with a design or text of your choice. Currently we offer laser engraving on Sonnet bottom cases. 

What guidelines should I follow when submitting an image?

Please submit your engraving design in PNG or Vector format. These formats provide the clarity and sharpness needed for a high-quality engraving. Bold lines 

To help you visualize the engraving placement, we provide a template for the Sonnet's bottom case. Align your design within the specified area on the template for the best results. 

For best results, submit your image in black and white. We cannot engrave greyscale images. Images with clear contrast and bold lines produce the most visually striking engravings.

If you have any questions about your designs, reach out to Support for assistance. 

Can you show examples of how a completed laser engraving looks?
