Metal & More: Etching
Southern Coating can handle all of your etching needs.
Etching is a technique in which abrasive materials or chemicals are used to create a pattern in a flat plate. Historically, it was used to etch patterns into metal plates which were then inked and used to create prints known as etchings. The word “etching” has come to refer to a wide variety of designs produced in metal, glass, wood, and plastic, using chemicals, lasers, or abrasive materials.
Southern Coating can perform custom etching for a wide variety of purposes. Using etching to embed identity numbers into things is a common practice at Southern Coating. The advantage of etching is that it is impossible to remove without leaving a very obvious mark.
Custom etching may also be utilized to create custom works of art, commemorations, or decorative designs. For example, Southern Coating might etch names and job titles into the glass doors of an office, create an etched plaque as an award, etch glasses for events, or use glass etching to create a decorative window.
