Benefits of Laser Engraving Athletic Apparel
The laser engraving process allows for precise, accurate marking on a number of materials. With these capabilities, athletic apparel companies and designers can create more intricate patterns and detailed markings on the clothing they provide.
The high-performance laser systems create a contactless process and distortion-free engraving of various fabrics and materials.

Some of the benefits laser engraving brings to the athletic apparel industry include:
- Laser marking and engraving of extremely fine materials

Laser Etching for Athletic Apparel
In contrast to laser engraving, laser etching is used to remove something from a material rather than add to it. In laser etching applications, the laser system is used to burn away a portion of the fabric or material being used in the application in order to create a refined tone-on-tone appearance.
Ideal for large or small logos, laser etching can be applied to a wide range of materials including fleece, microfleece, and microfiber. When it comes to the athletic apparel industry, laser etching systems are used for the following apparel items:
- T-shirts
- Polo shirts
- Tank tops
- Pants
- Shorts
- Bags
- Caps
- And more!
