Our Capabilities

Art Production

Art Production

We start by preflighting every piece of artwork sent for a project and providing our customers with as much information as possible before we begin.

Century Manufacturing artists then process the art to the specific characteristics of the project. Our artists are skilled in all major art platforms, including: Illustrator, CorelDRAW, and Photoshop.

Machining

Machining

Using state-of-the-art CNC mills, lathes, and routers, custom items such as turned bottles and custom-milled shapes can be made. Pockets for assembly and special product replica pieces can be made with precision and beauty.

Laser Engraving

Laser Engraving

Laser Engraving is a versatile process. Our laser techs work with state-of-the-art laser engraving machines. This process can be used on its own as the primary imprinting process or along with other embedments, such as acetate, to give an attractive layered effect.

Laser engraving is a great way to add personalization to your Lucite award.

Digital Printing

Digital Printing

Using a special digital printing process, short-run 4-color process on card stock, brass plates, or acetate material is made possible for embedment in Lucite. Flat shaped pieces up to 1 3/4” thick can be imprinted directly on the surface as well as many items in our acrylic line.

Molding

Molding

Our mold department constructs molds from a variety of materials. Special tooling is used to make some 3D shapes with special plastics. Simple geometric shapes can be done using cardboard molds.

Due to Lucite being a liquid at the casting stage, every mold shape must have a pour point. Although production tools can be reused, production molds are only used once.

Laser Cutting

Laser Cutting

Laser Cutting is an additional process that can help add a colorful effect to visually enhance your commemorative message. Although small details and letters are not achievable, simple logos can be cut out of our standard plex colors (some custom colors available). Be sure to have art available and check with your sales representative for guidance. The laser cutting process can be teamed with our acrylic line screened and process print items to create a custom shape!
