can’t get any color in any size. The smaller versions, like the K3A come in the most colors. The larger the Maglite®, the smaller the list of available colors. However, if you want your logo imprinted in full color, that can be done on these two Maglites®.
With modern printing technology, your company logo can be printed in full color

on a Maglite® barrel. Sometimes this looks great. But sometimes, depending on the barrel color and your logo color, we have to lay down a light base color, so your real colors will look vibrant. This way, a dark barrel won’t show through the light colors of your logo. The drawback of this, is that the base color imprint might show at the edges of your logo.
Full color imprinting will last forever, unless something sharp scratches it. For a permanent imprint of your corporate logo, I suggest getting your Maglite engraved using modern laser technology. Laser engraving is actually scratched through the anodized layer and goes down into the aluminum barrel itself. It can’t be rubbed off or affected by scratching.
Promotional Maglites® are used by law enforcement officers and EMT’s. They are not only essential tools in their arsenal, they can be used for promotional purposes. Why not put the badge image or company logo on the barrel? The best Maglites® for every day use are the 2AALED Mini Maglite® LED and the MAG-TAC® LED Flashlight – Bezel Edge.
Why? Both Maglites® are powerful and small enough to keep in your pocket or a pouch.
Laser engraving is an art and a science. It requires a special laser engraving machine. Not all laser machines can properly engrave on anodized aluminum. Even if you have the right machine, you need to:

Try engraving some test pieces to find the right voltage
The right number of passes
The right position on the Maglite® barrel
The right size of imprint, so the logo doesn’t get distorted at the top and bottom edges.
Make a jig, so you can engrave all the barrels at the same exact place.
The best way to get a Maglite engraved is to find a professional engraver, and one that engraves Maglites® all the time. Of course, the internet is the best place to find such a company.
Giving a Maglite engraved with your logo is a great idea if you own a business. Your customers and employees will love it forever. Here are some tips to make your project a success.
Choose a reputable online Maglite® company that specializes in laser engraving Maglites and other high quality business gifts.
Find your best art file. The neatest art is vector art. Examples of vector art are .eps and .ai files. Sometimes .png and .pdf files are vector. This is the language that today’s best laser machines use. Don’t worry, if you don’t have vector art, the engraving company can convert your art for free, or for a very small charge.
Determine which Maglite® is best suited for this job. Maglites® also come in gift sets with Leatherman® tools or other tools or knives.
Order the right quantity, but add a few extra. You might decide later to use these as Christmas gifts for your relatives and friends.
Order early enough to meet your deadline. Production time is usually a week or

Good luck on using Maglites® as quality business gifts!
