What is laser etched metal stainless steel sheet?

Laser etched stainless steel — often sold as 3D stainless steel or 3D laser stainless steel — is made with high-power lasers that precisely create three-dimensional textures and gloss on the sheet surface. The result is an intricate pattern with visible depth and a distinctive sheen, ideal for high-end decorative work and product manufacturing.

3D Laser Etched Stainless Steel Patterns

3D laser patterns and the etched designs popular in elevator cars and landing doors. Click a pattern to see it larger and request that sample.

Elevator panels

Laser etched stainless steel for elevators.

Elevator cars and landing doors are where etched stainless steel is used most. Laser etching brings the same popular elevator patterns, with extra precision where the details matter.
Car walls & doors — the etched patterns shown above, laser etched over a mirror or matte base and finished in PVD color.
Logos, floor numbers & signage — fine lines and small text stay sharp, built into the panel instead of stuck on.
Flat, thin panels — nothing is pressed into the sheet, so large car panels stay flat and keep their performance.

Why choose laser etched stainless steel.

A focused laser beam draws the pattern straight from the design file onto the sheet.

Precise and fine

The laser follows the design file exactly, so thin lines, small text and intricate details come out sharp — ideal for fine, detailed patterns.

Environmentally friendly

No etching chemicals and no acid waste — a good fit for buyers with strict production or environmental requirements.

Sheet performance unchanged

The laser only works the surface. Nothing is pressed or stamped, so the sheet keeps its flatness, strength and corrosion resistance.

Our Leading Coating Technology.

Thicker coating, consistent color and easy-clean surfaces. Each one measured in our own production and compared with typical market product.
PVD coating

Thicker PVD coating

0.30µm
Typical coating thickness, up to 28% thicker than a typical market coil, so the color lasts longer.
See the coating test
Color control

Consistent color

ΔE ≤ 2
Every coil is held below the color difference the eye can see, so panels from different batches match.

Anti-fingerprint

Fingerprint-resistant

215solvent rubs
Our anti-fingerprint coating withstood 215 rubs with a strong solvent. The standard requires 100. Typical market AF failed at 70.
