Thermoses and mugs
The most common case: a long phrase or a logo with text running around the body. Stanley, Thermos and the like.
Stainless steel · a matt or contrasting mark
Describe the item and what should go on it. We will suggest the format, the material and the timing.
Describe your task →ROTARY CHUCK · NO SEAM
The inscription runs continuously around the whole circumference. The chuck turns the object in sync with the beam, so there is no step where the ends meet — the very step that usually gives away work done “in several passes”.
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE ITEM
How much text will fit depends on the diameter. On a travel mug that is usually a phrase of 40–60 characters at a readable type size.
The most common case: a long phrase or a logo with text running around the body. Stanley, Thermos and the like.
Stainless steel · a matt or contrasting mark
A date or a phrase around the inside of the ring. Jewellery-grade micro-engraving with minimal metal removal.
Gold, silver, titanium, steel
On glass — an even matt frosting all the way round with no chipping at the rim. On a hip flask — a contrasting anneal.
Glass, steel, brass
A slim cylinder needs precise set-up: on a small diameter the type size is limited, and we show you the limit before we start.
Parker and similar, tubes, mandrels, tools
A rotary chuck turns the item in sync with the beam, so the inscription runs continuously all the way round. With ordinary engraving a step is visible where the ends meet; here there is none.
We need an even circumference with no abrupt changes in diameter. Vacuum flasks, glasses, hip flasks, rings, tubes and pen barrels — yes. For a cone or a complex shape, send a photo and we will take a look.
It depends on the diameter. On a travel mug it is usually a phrase of 40–60 characters at a legible type size. We will give you an exact figure once we see the item.
Yes, inside-ring engraving is a common job in its own right. Fine jewellery-grade micro-cutting with minimal metal removal.
Yes: 120–200 thousand against 80 thousand. Working around the circumference calls for tooling and a longer set-up.
