Photolab is a department whose name can be traced back to the early days of Tenibac when cameras, negatives, and dark rooms were used to produce a desired look. Today, computer technology has all but erased the need for our previous methods.

Crisp and precise lettering is currently achieved using the latest software and laser technology. We can translate many file types including .igs, .dxf, .dwg, .eps, and .cdr as well as files from other bitmap and cad-based programs. Camera-Ready artwork is always accepted.

Engraving of logos, part identification and bar-codes are all services performed by the photolab. Our technicians are trained to engrave lettering in most metals including P-20, H-13, and stainless steel as well as aluminum and brass.

Mold tags are also created by the photolab department. These are a quick and durable way to label the sides of tools. Mold tags are engraved to display such things as tool ownership, part diagrams and schematics. These tags are easily fastened to any mold and can withstand the high temperatures produced in a press.

Chemical engraving of logos, mold tags and lettering has evolved over the years to take advantage of current technology but the one constant that has remained throughout is the quality that only Tenibac can produce.
