From small industrial labels to prestigious plaques in brass, steel, and a wide variety of other materials, the scope of engraving is vast.

Classed as precision engineering, engraving is a traditional craft brought fully up to date by computer-controlled technology.

At GRS Signs, we combine expert craftsmanship with modern techniques. We deliver exceptional results for clients throughout Lincolnshire and across the UK.

Manufacturing Methods & Techniques

Three primary types of engraving are used in our production process: machine engraving, chemical etching, and laser engraving. Each method serves a specific purpose depending on the materials used.

For intricate chemical etching and heavy industrial applications—such as laminate or acrylic labels—machine engraving with tungsten carbide cutters is standard. Meanwhile, laser engraving offers a modern approach with incredible accuracy and clarity.

Our product range also includes Braille and Tactile signs for public spaces. These ensure full compliance with the Equality Act 2010 (formerly known as the Disability Discrimination Act 1995).
