Frequently Asked Questions

How many colors can laser engraving do?+
Single color only. On metals, the surface discolors (steel becomes dark gray, anodized aluminum becomes white). On leather, it burns dark brown. For multi-color, use UV printing or heat transfer.
What's the minimum font size for laser engraving?+
English can go down to 2-3pt. For Chinese characters, we recommend 5-6pt+ due to stroke complexity. Logos work best at 5mm+ width.
Does laser engraving damage the product?+
No. The laser only affects the surface (0.05-0.3mm depth), never penetrating or affecting function.
Best products for laser engraving?+
Classic pairs: metal water bottles + executive pens (the soul of business gift sets). Also common: leather card holders, wooden boxes, metal business card cases.
What's the MOQ and sample fee?+
No true MOQ — starts from 1 unit. Sample fee NT$500-1500 depending on complexity, deductible from bulk orders. Best pricing at 100+ units.
