Many plants in parks and gardens are labelled with their Latin and common names and descriptions. Traditionally this has been rather like painting the Forth bridge with the job requiring re starting as soon as it's finished.

As a supplier to Parks and Gardens for almost 30 years Suregrave has been able to develop a range of coloured exterior grade (UV stable) engraving materials and complimentary plant label holders which will resist the elements and give decades of service before a replacement is needed.

Engraving offers a distinct advantage over other methods of signing; by physically cutting into the label the engraved mark is indelible and consequently resistant to ingress of dirt and wear and tear. Engraving too has a higher perceived quality looking more at place than a "printed counterpart" and will outlast them (and long may it continue).

Plant labels (and signs) can easily produced in engraving laminate in traditional rectangular form or cut to custom shaped designs by the engraving machine.

Materials
Plant labels are manufactured from Suregrave exterior grade engraving laminate, UV stable with a deep and tough top surface the Exterior grade material will outlast any competitor foiled micro material. Labels are available pre-cut to size to suit the plant holders.

Volume labelling can be easily produced using a batch production method called "badging" where the plate layout is copied and different text imported from a file engraved on each plate.

Machine
The right machine for you will be dictated by volume. The Wizzard 6 will suit lower volumes especially with the option to trade in the machine for its original purchase value within 12 months against a larger Suregrave machine. The bigger Wizzard 12 & Wizzard 16 offer increased speed and production.

A Co2 laser engraver is also an option for it's ability to reproduce photographic images, detailed text and because of its ability to engrave and cut in a single cycle.

Machine Options
To produce quality labels time and time again we utilise a depth setting device called a nose-cone and a Swarf extraction system. The Wizzard 6 is fitted with a vice unit as cutting multiple badges form a sheet of material is the fastest and most profitable method but if buying your badges pre-cut a centre opening vice is recommended for work holding.

Workshop equipment
To take advantage of the badge function for volume you will require a Varga Saw to cut a full sheet down to the machine bed size and then to cut the engraved plates. Corners can be rounded using the corner rounder unit and a durable and glossy resin finish can be added with Acudome.

Software
Surelab Lite will provide the basics for text import and engrave but engravers wanting to Scan and Vectorise logos or produce Braille signs should choose SureLab Pro. SureLab is also available in a laser output only module SureLab PhotoLaser+ which includes a host of special features for laser technology.
