Your logo is the first thing your customer touches. The engraving method you choose affects cost, durability and perceived quality. Here is the breakdown.
Four Logo Methods, Compared
| Method | Best for | Cost | Durability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Laser engraving | Metal | Low | Permanent |
| Deboss | Leather | Mid | Permanent |
| Hot-stamp | Leather | Mid | 5–10 years |
| UV print | Colour logo | Low | 2–3 years |
Which Should You Choose?
Metal wallets: laser engraving (free with MOQ 300). Leather: deboss or hot-stamp (looks premium). Colour logo: UV print (accept shorter lifespan).
FAQ

Written on the floor
This article was written by our production and QC team — the people who spec tolerances, run the finishing line and inspect every batch. Where it states a capacity, a pull force or a lead time, it comes from a measurement we made, not a supplier’s catalogue. If a number here disagrees with what your own supplier told you, tell us; several of these articles started as a correction from a buyer.
