Laser work in Kimberley
Kimberley is the Northern Cape's capital and still a mining town at heart, with diamond operations, iron ore and manganese suppliers, and a busy railway yard. Mines and contractors order equipment tags, lockout tags and laser cut steel, while government offices, the hospital and Sol Plaatje University need nameplates, door signs and staff awards. Schools and sports clubs buy trophies and medals, and the city's mining heritage sells engraved souvenirs to tourists. Cattle and game farmers in the district ask for ear tags, branding irons and signs. Local sign shops cover small jobs, but much engraving and heavy cutting is couriered from Bloemfontein or Gauteng.
Typical glass engraving requests in the area come from:
