Sand-Carved vs Laser Etched Pet Memorials Comparison

Which One is Right for Me? Laser Engraving vs. Sandcarving

Feature Laser Engraving Sandcarving
Process Uses a laser beam to vaporize the surface, creating fine details. Uses high-pressure air and abrasive particles for deep, detailed engravings.
Precision Suitable for intricate designs, text, and photos, but commonly used by mass-production stores. Combines precision film and sandcarving for photo-quality detail and vivid contrast.
Depth Shallow engravings that rest on the surface with less texture. Deeper engravings that provide a tactile, premium feel, making them more durable and resilient.
Durability Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, though it may not withstand extreme weather as well over time. Highly resistant to extreme weather, ideal for outdoor use.
Contrast May require additional treatments to achieve enhanced contrast. Monument-grade ink fills the engraving for stunning, vivid contrast.
Craftsmanship Often used for mass production, where speed is prioritized over craftsmanship. Our boutique approach limits daily orders to ensure each piece receives the care and quality it deserves.
