Laser engraving photos may have several advantages. But let’s share with you just two of them.
- Keep your memories forever.
The first reason, why people embrace laser engraving photos give, is to keep their great memories permanently. Yes, a photo of a loved one permanently engraved on, say, black marble is so valuable because it lasts for life. And by so doing, you keep everlasting memories from generation to generation. Isn’t that great? On the contrary, digitally printed paper photos last for a very short time. It’s hard for such photos to last more than three generations. Those that do last long end up losing their quality and clarity with time. Besides, they can easily get damaged.
- Engraved photos are a great gift.

Such a gift has a high perceived value. And it will remain in their memories forever. If you have always been pondering over what gift to give to a friend, relative or colleague, an engraved photo can do wonders. It’s such a great gift that pleases whoever receives it. It speaks a thousand words.
