We work with CAD files to produce complex shapes, patterns, and profiles, all to tight tolerances. Whether you need a one-off prototype or a full production run, our team ensures accuracy and consistency across every part.

Our Laser Cutting & Engraving Capabilities

We combine modern laser equipment with an experienced in-house team to deliver consistent results across all projects. Our systems are designed for both speed and accuracy, allowing us to handle everything from simple cuts to detailed engraving.

Key capabilities include:

Bespoke Laser Cutting for Plastic Components

At Rhino Custom Innovation, we offer high-precision laser cutting services for complex components and detailed applications. Our equipment is optimised to deliver clean, accurate cuts with tight tolerances, ideal for both functional and decorative applications across various industries.

Laser Engraving Services for Branding & Marking

Our laser engraving services offer a permanent, high-precision solution for adding text, graphics, or identification details to a variety of surface types. Whether you need company branding, serial numbers, safety labels, or product customisation, we deliver sharp, consistent results without the use of inks or adhesives. Laser engraving works by vaporising the surface layer of the material, creating a clean and durable mark that won’t wear or fade over time. This process is ideal for applications where clarity and longevity are essential.

Materials we engrave include:

  • Acrylic and other plastics
  • Coated and laminate metals
  • Aluminium composite panels
  • Laser-compatible labels and laminates

Materials we We Laser Cut

We work with a carefully selected range of plastics and thin metals to support both functional and decorative applications. Each material is chosen based on strength, finish quality, and suitability for laser processing.

Our team can also advise on the best material depending on your application, whether it’s signage, engineering components, enclosures, or branding parts.

  • Plastics include acrylic, PETG, polycarbonate, ABS and foamed PVC
  • Metals include aluminium (thin gauge), coated and anodised finishes and composite laminates

 

We also offer PVC-free and recyclable options for environmentally conscious projects.

      • Common engraving applications:
      • Logos and brand elements on signage and displays
      • Control panels with permanent switch labels
      • Product serialisation and part numbers
      • Custom messages for awards, plaques, or packaging inserts


With fast setup and no tooling required, our laser engraving process is ideal for both short runs and repeat production. Every detail is handled in-house at our UK facility, ensuring fast lead times and consistent quality from start to finish

Common Applications of Laser Cutting & Engraving

Our laser cutting and engraving services are widely used across a range of industries where precision, consistency and high-quality finishing are essential. From industrial manufacturing and product development to branding and packaging solutions, we support both prototype work and full-scale production with accurate, repeatable results tailored to each project requirement.

Common applications include:

Industrial Manufacturing

We support industrial manufacturing applications where precision-cut plastic and thin metal components are required for machinery, fixtures, enclosures and control systems. Our process ensures high accuracy and clean finishes, making it ideal for both functional engineering parts and production-ready components.

Signage & Displays

In the signage and display sector, we produce custom-cut acrylic lettering, logos and display panels used in retail environments, exhibitions and branded installations. These components can also be engraved for added detail, branding or visual enhancement.

Branding & Product Marking

We provide permanent laser engraving for branding and identification purposes, including logos, serial numbers, batch codes and product details. Compatible with a wide range of surfaces, this process delivers durable, high-quality marking that remains sharp and fade-resistant over time.

Control Panels & Labels

Our services are widely used for control panels and technical labelling, including engraved nameplates, dashboards and interface panels. We create precise cut-outs for switches, indicators and electronic components, ensuring both functionality and clarity in demanding environments.

Packaging & Protective Inserts

We also manufacture custom packaging and protective inserts using laser-cut foam and plastic materials. These solutions are designed for secure product transport, display presentation and internal packaging layouts, ensuring products remain protected and professionally presented.

Our flexible service supports both prototypes and production runs, giving designers, manufacturers, and fabricators the tools to produce high-quality parts with confidence.

Typical Projects

Our services support a range of practical applications, from product development to production-ready components. Here are a few common examples:

Medical Dispenser Product Development

A medical supplies distributor approached us with an outline design and tight deadlines. We refined the concept and delivered fully approved products in under three months, supplying finished units ready for dispatch within their logistics system.

HVAC Panel Manufacturing Support

An HVAC manufacturer needed a cost-effective way to bring a new air purifier to market without adding internal manufacturing. We produced precision panels to exact specifications, enabling efficient assembly without added operational complexity.
