We make use of laser engravers for the texture, warmth, and intentionality they provide. There's something quietly beautiful about the soft grain lasers leave behind as they carefully burn the page. While our designs begin by hand, the laser allows us to replicate that exact linework with precision, maintaining the integrity of every sketch.
Unlike traditional printing, which can feel flat or impersonal, engraving adds depth you can run your fingers across. It's a technique that elevates each card from a simple message to something worthy of display.
Practically, engraving allows us to grow without compromising our values. While many small businesses struggle to afford in-house printing, engraving lets us create in small batches, keeping costs manageable without sacrificing craftsmanship. Other cardmakers who make use of lasers use them to cut where we use them to draw.
Every Wetty & Co. card features at least one engraved element— whether it stands alone or pairs with stitching, printing, or paint. It's how we blend handmade quality with lasting structure, and how we turn a card into a keepsake.
