Diamond Etched Products Engraved License Plate Made in the USA Are you looking for that traditional engraved look? You know…when the engraving is actually etched into the material instead of printed or burned. Then you’re looking for Diamond Etched Engraving! What does "Diamond Etched" mean? You may have seen the term "Diamond Etched" and not known what that means. You're not alone, even other sellers use this term frequently without knowing (we're giving them the benefit of the doubt). The truth is, Diamond Etching is a specific technique used in engraving designs. Diamond Etched Engraving is also known as “Scratch Engraving” or “Diamond Drag Engraving.” This is because during the engraving process, a diamond engraver drags across the surface of the object to produce the engraved design. Unlike laser engraving or sublimation, the surface of the material is carefully cut into the metal to reveal an underlying color and leave the engraved pattern. This is by far the most durable engraving style and will never peel or fade like others sometimes do. Simply put, the design will last forever. Does Diamond Etched engraving look different from other engraving methods? 1,000% YES! Diamond Etching is much more than just a smooth, flat design printed onto a plate. The image is cut into the metal in such a way that light reflects off of the design. This creates a depth and brilliance that cannot be obtained with laser engraving. Our customers often comment things like, "this isn't just a license plate, it's a work of art!". But how is the quality of the plate itself? We use only the highest quality aluminum for our plates.
