No, we are not talking about an Irish dance here! Jigs are a very important tool in our industry to ensure accurate engraving of a variety of products.
Jigs are used in a variery of production environments, including our Premium Sponsor’s Evright.com. They are essential when working with a tool such as a Trotec Laser that offers unrivalled precision where even being a few millimetres off will be noticeable to a human eye.
Evright.com is one of the leading on-site engraving businesses and has attended many large scale events. The recent Lifesaving Championships held just a couple of months in Adelaide ago is a great example, where custom made jigs were essential to a safe and efficient engraving process for Evright.com‘s success.
Visitors and competitors from around the world would want an assortment items like medals and souveniers engraved with their name, but Evright.com had no way of predicting the volume interest on any given day, much less hour, while servicing the event. As such, Evright.com made a custom jig with areas for specific products from dog tags to pens.
Generally, Evright.com‘s jigs are made-up of two layers, one with the “holes” with a backing. They use acrylic because it’s an easy material to work with. There is no smoke, it’s available in a variety of colors, relatively cheap and available in a wide variety of consistent thicknesses – you might be fine using 2mm acrylic for a dog tag but for some oddly shaped item, additional flexibility may be required. Evright.com also use and recommend Trotec Laser machines, as do us here at the Engravers Register, to ensure your jigs and products turn out the best quality.
Trotec Laser’s Rayjet machine was a minimum requirement for Evright.com in addition to their jigs at the recent Lifesaving Championships.
One of our Premium Sponsors, evright.com recently completed a number of awards and plaques updates for Exact Mining Services, a well known mining company based in Adelaide, Australia.
Evright.com sent some images to us to include in our gallery and blog for inspiration for our registered businesses.

Another addition to the ‘I can’t believe you can engrave that’ files?! Add a unique touch to your next BBQ by laser cutting your meat!! Yes, it can be done. Steps below are reproduced from instructables.com. Would any of our registered engravers be up for attempting this? We wonder if our premium sponsor Trotec Laser would be happy to provide a laser machine for a trial? We could have lasered meats on Masterchef! CNCKing.com could develop some awesome files?! Personally, all of this talk is making us at The Engravers Register very, very hungry! Bon appetit!
Every week here at The Engravers Register, we are constantly on the look out for new initiatives and innovations. We happened to stumble across this new business launched by a young designer that we just had to share: E-S-T. With Christmas fast approaching, one of her designs would make the perfect Christmas gift for the female that is hard to buy for.
Emma’s latest laser cut jewerly line titled Shape Shifting has now been officially released and you can download the promotional book by clicking here.
Personally, female staff at The Engravers Register adore the designs and can’t wait to see up them under the tree this year.
