Laser Engraving vs Heat-Transfer Vinyl for Notebook Branding

Choose laser engraving for a permanent, understated mark created in a compatible cover surface. Choose heat-transfer vinyl (HTV) for stronger colour contrast using a cut, single-colour design applied with heat and pressure. Branding is included in the price.
