How to Add Your Logo to Holsters (Laser, Emboss, Print)
Your logo turns a generic holster into your product. Here are the three ways to brand a Kydex holster and how to choose.
Key Takeaways
- Three methods: laser engraving, embossing, printing.
- Laser = crisp, permanent, the most popular.
- Emboss = subtle raised/recessed mark; print = full color.
- Send vector artwork; a one-time setup applies your logo to the run.
Laser engraving
A laser etches your logo permanently into the Kydex. It's crisp, durable, doesn't add cost per color, and is the most common branding choice for holster lines.
Embossing
Embossing presses a raised or recessed logo into the surface during forming — a subtle, premium look that's part of the material itself.
Printing
Printing applies a full-color logo, best when your branding needs color. Send vector artwork (AI/SVG/EPS) and we set up tooling once for the whole order. See private label / OEM.
