Engraving with COLOR

Reverse-Engraved Signs & Control Panel Overlays

Durable, Professional-Grade Labels — Ideal for Harsh Environments and Backlit Panels

We offer reverse-engraved acrylic labels and control panel overlays that are built to handle tough environments while providing a clean, high-end finish. This method involves engraving the back side of a clear or tinted acrylic sheet, then color-filling the engraved areas with durable paint. The result is a crisp, high-contrast label protected behind a smooth, glossy surface.

Reverse engraving is the industry standard for marine environments, automation systems, and high-end equipment — offering both durability and a polished appearance.

Why Choose Reverse Engraving?

• Protected, Permanent Marking
  The engraving is sealed behind the surface, protecting it from wear, moisture, solvents, and abrasion — perfect for demanding conditions.

• Fully Custom Color Options
  Choose from a wide range of acrylic and fill color combinations to meet your labeling or design standards.

• Backlight-Compatible
  Because the material is engraved from behind, these overlays are ideal for LED backlighting, allowing light to shine through text or symbols for night-time visibility or dark enclosures.

• Standard for Marine & Harsh-Use Applications
  Widely used for boat and marine labeling, industrial panels, and OEM control systems where long-term performance is critical.

• Smooth, Easy-to-Clean Surface
  No raised edges or exposed engraving — just a clean, sealed face that resists dirt and grime.
