Should You Get Your Maglite Engraved or Color Printed With Your Logo?
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.
How To Order Engraved Flashlights For Your Business
If you (or your boss) wants to get engraved flashlights for a promotion, here are 7 tips to make your task quick and easy.
- Get your best art file of your logo from your artist. Vector art is preferred, since it is the neatest. Examples of vector art files are .ai, .eps, and sometimes .pdf or .png.
- Find out how many flashlights you need for your promotion. Is your promotion
for a safety program or service award program? You may want to order a few extra for last minute changes.
- What type of flashlight do you want to use? What is your budget? Maglites® are the best, and more costly than imported LED flashlights.
- Find a reputable merchant online by searching for “engraved flashlights“.
- Does their website make the ordering process simple and easy?
- Call or email the merchant to see what details they need. Is there room on the flashlight for a phone number or a slogan?
- Complete the order online, and submit your credit card number and your art file. Now just wait for the email proof, and then your engraved flashlights. Enjoy!
How Engraved Flashlights Can Make Your Employees Happy

How To Get A Maglite Engraved With Your Logo
The first advice is: “Don’t try this at home”.
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.
2 Maglite Flashlights That Don’t Come With Batteries
Why don’t they come with batteries? Here are good reasons:
- Batteries are heavy. Why pay to ship a few batteries, when you can get them at your hardware store.
- Batteries are expensive. You may be able to shop around for the best deal locally.
Just in case you really want batteries to ship with your Maglites®, that’s possible. They can even be inserted. Those are 2 options you have.
These logo-engraved LED Maglite Flashlights come in 2 sizes. 2-C cell and 3-C cell.

How Is A Maglite Engraved?
Christmas is a popular time of year to give a Maglite engraved with your company logo.
The Maglite® is professionally laser engraved like most other gift items:
- The torch is cleaned, or inspected for the absence of surface contamination.
- It is placed in a jig, so that the imprint area is in the right place when it is place in the laser machine.
- The flashlight/jig combination is place in the cradle of the laser machine
- The door is closed.
- According to previous tests, the operator sets the appropriate laser power, speed, PPI (resolution, or dots per inch), depth, and number of passes.
- The type of imprint also determines the setting. A photograph requires different settings than line art.
- Without getting into further detail, it is best to leave laser engraving to the professionals.
