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. |
