Which Leather Types & Finishes Can Be Engraved?
Vegetable-Tanned Leather
Often produces clear contrast when engraved. Colour and depth vary with tannage, thickness and finish.
Genuine & Full-Grain Leather
Many products can be engraved, but grain, dyes, oils and protective finishes influence the result.
Finished & Dyed Leather
Some coated or dyed surfaces engrave differently from unfinished leather. Samples or a test area may be needed.
Synthetic & Unknown Materials
Compatibility is not assumed. PVC/vinyl and certain coated synthetic leathers must not be laser processed; we require material identification before acceptance.

Common questions
Leather Laser Engraving FAQ
Can you engrave a leather wallet or notebook that I already own?
Yes, if the product is made from a compatible material and can be safely positioned for engraving. Please send photos, dimensions and material details before bringing it in.
Can you engrave real leather and faux leather?
Many genuine leather products can be engraved. Faux leather requires special caution because some synthetic materials contain PVC, vinyl or other unsafe components. We do not accept unidentified or incompatible materials.
Will leather engraving be dark or light?
The appearance depends on the leather, dye, tannage and finish. Many products develop a darker mark, but contrast and texture vary. An exact colour or finish cannot be guaranteed without testing.
Can you engrave a company logo on leather?
Yes, on suitable customer-supplied items. Simple, high-contrast artwork often reproduces well; very small details may need adjustment for readability.
Can I order only one engraved leather item?
Yes. We consider individual gifts as well as small batches and repeat commercial orders. Each project is reviewed for feasibility.
How much does leather laser engraving cost in Ottawa?
Pricing depends on the artwork, engraving dimensions, setup, material, quantity and positioning complexity. Send photos and project details for a quotation.
Can engraving damage leather?
Laser engraving permanently changes the surface and can alter colour or texture. Some finishes can scorch, discolour or react unpredictably, so material assessment and suitable design placement are important.
