Engraving vs. Etching

What's the difference between engraving and etching?

Glass engraving and glass etching are sometimes used interchangeably, but they are very different processes. An experienced engraving artist can easily spot the difference between the two methods.

Engraving is a physical process that removes bits of glass or metal to reveal a design.

Etching is a chemical process that uses acid to essentially burn into the surface.

As a professional engraving artist, I use a specially manufactured hand drill to physically remove bits of matter while manually creating a design in the material. Hand engraving is permanent and allows me to control the depth, bur size, and intricate details of designs.

Atlanta engraving and calligraphy services are available for in-studio commissions and live personalization at on-site brand activations, corporate events, private parties, and more.

Engraving FAQ

  • Why do you do engrave by hand?

    The process of hand engraving gives the artist much more control over placement, depth, and the amount of details. With a small hand drill, I'm able to engrave items of various size, shape, and material. Laser engraving has limitations and isn't always chip-resistant! Want to know more? Explore the 6 key reasons to choose hand engraving over laser.

  • What industries do you work with?

    I work with a diverse range of industries, including corporate events, weddings, sports and outdoors, trade shows, festivals, charity galas, and private celebrations. Hand engraving is popular among experiential marketing events as it offers unmatched customer engagement. Ready to explore options for your industry? Submit an inquiry to start today.

  • What surfaces can be engraved?

    Glass, metal, and certain plastics can be engraved with the right technique. While the technique and calligraphy styles are the same, I use various speeds and pressures to engrave items based on the material, surface coating, and size.

    Almost any smooth, open surface can be engraved, no matter the size!

  • Do you provide consultations or help with item selection for engraving?

    Absolutely! I love hearing your vision and helping brainstorm items to be engraved. When choosing products for brand activations or live events, I can also provide sample engravings for your team to see (and feel!) in person. Contact me to share your event plan, and I will share ideas.
