What is the Difference between Top-Surface Engraving and Sub-Surface Engraving?
If it is your first time to order custom engraving for crystal gifts, one thing you should know is that the process is somewhat different from what you’d normally encounter when having other types of gifts engraved.
Generally speaking, gifts made of wood, paper, metal, and a lot of other materials can only be engraved on the top surface. With top-surface engraving, you can feel how the message is etched or engraved with your fingers.
It’s different, however, when you order custom engraving for gifts made of crystal. With this type of gift, sub-surface engraving – instead of top-surface engraving – is usually preferred. Although you can still have your message engraved on the top surface layer of a crystal, with sub-surface engraving, you get to enjoy a significantly more distinct and concise display of photographic images. What’s more, this laser-aided engraving process would make it seem like the image is inside the crystal gift is “floating”.
The highly skilled designers at 4 You Custom Gifts and Awards have the latest software and laser technology that can also digitally convert 2D images into 3D images. Once in 3D format, your image can be engraved with exceptionally rich detail in three dimensions within the interior of the crystal.
