Al Jihad Advertising provides engraving and etching services in Abu Dhabi across a wide range of materials, including aluminum, brass, stainless steel, glass, PVC, and Traffolyte. Engraving and etching in Abu Dhabi is a process where a small part of the material is removed from the top surface to mark something permanent, and the removed material can be color-filled for a sharp, readable finish, which is why it is the standard choice for nameplates, awards, and industrial identification tags that need to last for years without fading.
We use both laser engraving and chemical etching depending on the material and the level of detail required. Laser engraving uses a focused beam to cut directly into a surface and works well for wood, glass, leather, PVC, and acrylic, producing clean, readable text and fine detail. Chemical etching removes a part of the material through a controlled chemical process and is typically used for permanent metal labels and tags in brass, steel, and aluminum. Both methods produce a permanent mark that will not fade, peel, or rub off with handling, unlike a printed label.
Choosing the wrong method for an award or gift affects how it looks years later. Engraving is permanent, which is why it is the right choice for long-service awards, leadership plaques, and premium corporate gifts, while printing suits full-color designs or large bulk orders where cost per unit matters more than permanence. Our full comparison in laser engraving vs printing for corporate gifts and awards walks through which method fits which occasion. For premium engraved awards specifically, see our acrylic trophy and awards service.
Beyond awards and gifts, engraving and etching serve functional, technical purposes: equipment nameplates, hazard labels that need to survive outdoor exposure, control panel and switchgear labeling in Traffolyte, and asset tagging for facilities and industrial sites. These applications prioritize legibility and durability over decorative finish, and we produce them to the exact specification your project requires. Engraved nameplates and desk signs are also frequently ordered alongside our acrylic signage for office branding, and engraved awards are often presented inside a custom acrylic box for corporate gifting.

Let’s create something great together.
Engraving physically cuts into the material’s surface using a laser or mechanical tool, while etching uses a chemical process to remove a part of the surface. Both produce a permanent, color-fillable result, and the right choice depends on the material and the level of detail needed.
Yes. We regularly engrave combined logos and text on nameplates, awards, and industrial tags, and can work from your existing logo file.
Traffolyte is a layered phenolic plastic laminate commonly used for control panel and switchgear labels because the engraved layer contrasts sharply with the surface color, making labels easy to read even in low light.
Laser engraving works well on wood, glass, leather, PVC, and acrylic. Chemical etching is typically used for permanent metal labels and tags on brass, steel, and aluminum where a deep, durable mark is needed.
Standard orders for nameplates or small batches of awards typically take a few business days. Larger industrial orders or custom shapes may take longer depending on volume.
Yes. Aluminum, brass, and steel etching produce tags and nameplates that resist corrosion and wear, making them suitable for outdoor and industrial environments.
