Laser Engraving in Halifax

A Calder Valley workshop on Halifax’s doorstep

Laser & Ink is a small, independent maker. Everything is engraved or printed by hand on our own machines in Sowerby Bridge, and every design is checked by a real person before it’s made. There’s no shop or showroom: it’s a working workshop, which is how we keep things personal and our prices sensible.

For Halifax customers that means two easy options. Most orders go out by Royal Mail for a flat £4.99, made in 1–3 working days and usually with you 2–3 working days after dispatch. For custom and business orders, you can also collect from Sowerby Bridge by arrangement, which saves the postage and is only a short drive from town.

What Halifax customers can order

For pubs, bars, cafés and independent businesses

Halifax has a busy mix of independent bars, cafés, restaurants and small shops, and engraved wooden beer mats are ideal for them. Our mats are 95mm round, 7mm thick, with four rubber feet underneath, so they sit flat, don’t scratch tables and last far longer than cardboard. They’re a great fit for a bar counter, a taproom or a café table, engraved with your logo or name.

• Branded coasters and beer mats in small batches. ask for a custom engraving quote.
• Small wooden or slate signs, table numbers and shelf labels.
• Engraved glassware for staff gifts, competitions or a special event.

Getting a quote

For anything that isn’t in the shop, tell us what you’d like engraved, how many you need and your deadline. You’ll get a price within 1–2 working days, and a digital proof to approve before anything goes on the laser. Use the form on our custom laser engraving page, or get in touch through our contact page.

We’ll also be straight with you about what our laser can and can’t do. It’s a 10W diode laser, which is excellent on wood, slate, leather, glass and coated metals, but it can’t engrave clear acrylic or bare stainless steel without a marking spray. If you’re not sure about a material, just ask. If you’d like to know more about the process, read how laser engraving works.
