Our Services

At National Etching, we specialize in precision decoration using abrasive etching and laser technology. Every piece is produced in-house with a focus on consistency, durability, and clean results. Whether you’re ordering a single personalized item or a large batch, our process is built to deliver reliable, high-quality work.

Abrasive Glass Etching

Our primary service is abrasive etching, which creates a permanent, frosted design etched directly into the surface of the glass.

Ideal for:

We offer:
*  Names, dates, and short messages

The result is a smooth, consistent etch that will not fade, peel, or wash away.

Custom Votive Etching

We are known for our work on premium votives, including glassybaby®.

These pieces require a controlled approach to maintain the character of the glass while producing a crisp, readable design.

Options include:

Marking Methods We Use

We use a range of professional marking techniques to match the material, design, and desired finish.

Abrasive Etching
Our primary method for glass. Produces a smooth, frosted design that is permanent and highly consistent.

Laser Engraving
Used for coated surfaces, cork, wood, and select materials. Ideal for fine detail and repeatability.

Electrochemical Etching
Best suited for metal surfaces where a clean, precise mark is needed without deep engraving.

Rotary Engraving
Used for deeper cuts in certain materials where a more pronounced, tactile result is preferred.

We choose the method based on what will produce the best result—not just what’s fastest.

Packaging & Shipping

Every order is packed to arrive safely.

*  Protective packaging for individual items
*  Efficient packing for larger orders
*  Fast turnaround, with most orders shipping within 1-5 business days
