| About Our Engraving |
At Redding Trophy Center we have skilled engravers that are well trained in a variety of
engraving techniques. We offer full service custom engraving on all of our products. All
our awards are made to order specifically to YOUR needs.
We are open to the public and specialize in school, corporate, and small business accounts
as well as individual orders.
Here's a little information you might like to read regarding engraving techniques.
LASER ENGRAVING
Laser engraving is exactly as is sounds. A laser beam literally burns off the top painted
coating of the brass or aluminum and creates sharp, clear lettering that will stand up to the
elements. We've been laser engraving here at our Northern California facility since 1997.
We are the original laser engravers in Shasta County currently operating with 2 laser
engraving machines to meet your engraving needs.
Some of the products we currently laser engrave are:
COMPUTER ENGRAVING
Computer engraving is done by Diamond Drag, Rotary, and Burnishing techniques
which requires a computer to relate to and move the engraving spindle.
Rotary Engraving is mostly used when engraving plastic. It is done with a "cutter" that
has pointed V-shaped cutting edge. There is a flat spot on this cutting edge that varies in
size depending on the style and size of cutter being used. How the engraver calculates the
depth of the cut into the plastic will determine whether the lettering is narrow or wide.
Diamond Drag Engraving is engraving with a tool that has a diamond tip. The cutter is
dragged across the engraving service to create a fine line look that is clean and sharp. It is
typically used on brass, aluminum, some acrylics, and other metals.
The Burnishing Technique is quite similar to rotary engraving. The engraving tool skims
along the surface of the metal (without cutting), creating a bolder, wider effect than if you
merely use the diamond drag technique. This technique is done on Brass and Aluminum.
