Laser Engraving

Laser Engraving - Concept to Delivery

The first step is always artwork. Prepare your drawings and send them to us. A helpful resource that provides detailed information on the preparation and transmisison of drawings is available. If you desire. we can create the artwork on your behalf. Typically there is an hourly rate charge of $35 for smaller, non-recurring jobs.
Specify the material we are to use and whether you are furnishing the material. If you are providing the material you must send it to us at BC LaserWorks, LLC, 17494 S. Clackamas River Drive, Oregon City, OR 97045
Once we understand the artwork, the materials and the magnitude of the job a firm price will be provided. You'll approve the quote and order the job by making a payment here by PayPal or by check.
Once payment has been received the job will be done and the finished product will be returned to the address you specified. Please be sure to tell your family, friends and business circle about the work we performed on your behalf!

Laser engraving is truly an exciting area due to the near limitless applications. We can laser engrave graphics, text and even photographs on a wide variety of materials, even materials we are unable to laser cut. BC Laser Works can even Laser Mark on metal!

Our hi-powered laser has an 8-inch clearance under the head. This generous clearance increases the number of practical applications for laser engraving. BC Laser Works can engrave on boxes, large slabs of wood, and even 3-Dimensional Objects. A relatively flat surface is optimal, although we have laser engraved photographs onto baseballs.

A word about laser engraving photographs

The best way to ensure high quality results and a quick turn around begins with the photograph itself. If at all possible, send us a large format (1280px x 960px or larger), digital photo in either *.jpeg/*.jpg, *.tiff, or a high resolution *.bmp format. If that is not possible we will try to work with the best image you have and can tell you before the work is performed whether a good result seems likely. Send us your digital format on any storage device (memory stick, CD, CD-RW, etc.) or email us at jos...@bclaserworks.com

If necessary, we will work from a printed photograph as well. In this case, be sure the area of the photograph you want engraved has a clean outline and is a good size. A distinct contrast with the background of the photograph makes cropping the image easier after we have scanned it into the computer. If you are using a studio photograph, be sure you have permisison to use their work.
