Many
anodized aluminum promotional products
including carabiner keychains are customized
with a name, logo or message using a method
call laser engraving. A high quality laser
engraved mark shows up “frosty” white with
clean crisp lines. It’s the process of
anodization that make this possible.
Anodization is a process applied to
aluminum which results in a durable, weather
resistant coating on the surface of the
metal. The process allows for color as well
as a clear coat on the metal. Today, many
colors of carabiner keychains are available
through this process. The laser acts to
remove the anodized coating exposing the
silver color of the aluminum underneath. It
does this by generating a high power beam of
light through a lens in the laser. The laser
beam is directed by mirrors which are
controlled by a computer. The movement of
the mirrors and hence the beam results in
the appearance of the engraved image on the
metals surface. There are two types of
lasers in use today for engraving anodized
aluminum promotional products: C02 and YAG.
Both will produce a mark however YAG lasers
produce higher quality images measured by
“brightness”. C02 lasers do a decent job,
but fall short of producing bright white
marks on certain colors. YAG lasers are also
faster and thus help to reduce production
costs.
Custom carabiners from CarabinerKeychains.com
are laser engraved using YAG
lasers exclusively producing high quality
images that will make a great
first and lasting impression. We
welcome your request for a sample to
inspect our work. In addition to single side
engraving, many of our products can be
engraved on the second side. We also have
the capabilities of text file input and
consecutive numbering resulting in something
different on each carabiner in the
production run. We are confident that
customer service, quality and lowest price guarantee can’t be
beat. For any questions about custom laser
engraved carabiners or to place an order
please
