Sand Etching

Sand etching is the process of using controlled high-pressure compressed air to direct an abrasive at a material’s surface. As the abrasive comes in contact with the surface, it is gradually eroded away. When this process is used in conjunction with unique templates, a wide range of designs and logos can be created with fantastic detail and durability. Mementos has years of experience in achieving outstanding results with this process.

Economical

Mementos’ sand-etching process allows our customers to receive the highest-quality, low-volume custom graphics at the lowest possible cost. Set-up charges for this process are less than the standard silk-screening process used by other manufacturers.

Sharper Images

The sand-etching process is clearer and sharper than traditional silk-screening or other labeling processes. With the use of multi-stage templates, very detailed 3D-effect designs and logos can be created. The detail is absolutely phenomenal.

Durability

Because sand etching recesses the image into the material’s surface, it is more durable than typical convex processes. When painted, the concave colors are far less likely to rub off, smear or chip.

Multiple Colors

Colors can be incorporated into the process using multi-stage templates. A wide range of colors are available (and in some instances, custom colors) to match your company logo exactly.

Artwork

All we require is camera-ready artwork of your logo and Mementos will take care of the rest. The detail of your sand-etched company logo compared to silk-screening or other labeling processes is hard to distinguish (except for it’s greater long-term durability).

Flexible

Sand etching is highly flexible and limited only by the customer’s imagination. Almost anything that can be photographed can be etched.
