Laser Engraved Products
Laser engraved products look fantastic, but your artwork needs to follow some simple guidlines to get the best results for your logo.
To get the best results, please follow the guidelines below.
Use art that has clean contrast and clear shapes
The laser doesn’t see color or gradients—it only sees light vs. dark areas. The simpler and higher-contrast the artwork, the better the result.
Vector Files Are Best
Submit artwork in vector format whenever possible:
- AI (.ai)
- SVG (.svg)
- EPS (.eps)
- PDF (vector)
Vector files ensure crisp lines and allow us to scale your logo without losing quality.
High-Resolution Raster Files (If Vector Isn’t Available)
We can also work with high-quality raster images:
- PNG
- JPG
Requirements for best results:
- Minimum 300 DPI resolution
- Minimum 1500 pixels wide
- Solid black artwork on a white or transparent background
Avoid shadows and gradients
Images and fonts should avoid shadows and gradients.
Keep Designs Within the Engraving Area
Your design should fit comfortably within the tap handle’s engraving space. We’ll review and adjust the layout if needed before production.

Full Color Products
Color printing allows us to reproduce vibrant, full-color designs with sharp detail, so your artwork can include gradients, photos, and complex graphics. The key is providing high-resolution files with good color quality.
