Recessed Graphics With Controlled Color Filling

Etching creates recessed text, logos, symbols or patterns in the metal surface. The recessed areas can then be filled with project-selected paint colors while the exposed metal receives the approved brushed, polished or plated appearance.

This construction is suitable for door signs, equipment plates, instruction panels, hotel and office identification, branded plaques and other applications that require clear permanent information.
