Not Engraved... but How do you do it

[Drip Dry]

Anyone have any idea of how this is done. The sample is made from plastic, but the customer wants metal. The size is about 1-1/2" x 3" and they want
approx 100.
Anyone know how it's done or where I can get it

Thanks

that looks like it's acid etched, I know Gemini does this, but it's not cheap.

a local machine shop may be able to mill these out of aluminum for you, you would just have to paint it black and than buff the paint off the high areas.

I second Gemini.

Western Metal Arts & Signs is a place that does excellent work, but they're on the opposite side of the country from you. Pretty impressive client list, too-

I called Advance. They think they can do it. I waiting for confirmation. If they don't work out, I'll try the others

Thanks all

It also looks like foundry work... more so than acid.
