In the Slate category, Print Equipment offers you different shapes for your laser engraving projects. In the Slate category you'll find the right basis for your individual engraving motif.
What defines laser engraving on slate?
Slate boards are made of uncoated natural slate, whose surface is changed in a targeted way by the laser. Since each board, as a natural product, is unique with slight variations in structure and dimensions, the result is an individual, high-quality character with high contrast.
The typical use of a slate engraving is clearly structured:
- The motif or text is created in the engraving software of your laser engraver or for UV printing
- The slate board is positioned and aligned on the work area
- The laser creates a permanent, high-contrast engraving on the uncoated surface along the motif
- After the engraving process, the slate board is ready for use right away, and thanks to two hanging holes also for wall mounting
Slate boards thus ideally complement your laser engraver and are a natural addition to our further laser items.
Why slate boards are indispensable
Slate boards play an important role for natural, high-quality personalization. Only with an uncoated surface can the characteristic, high contrast between material and engraving be achieved.
The most important advantages include:
- Natural look: Uncoated surface for a natural, high-quality look
- High contrast: The engraving stands out clearly visible against the dark slate
- Suitable for indoors and outdoors: Weatherproof for use in the garden or on the terrace. Your desired place of use is decisive for the choice.
- Suitable for wall mounting: Two hanging holes for easy attachment
- Ideal as a one-of-a-kind piece: Each board is an individual piece thanks to its natural structure
This makes slate boards indispensable both for individual gift ideas and for permanent signage.
