          standard  engraving  but  specialist        an impression of the logo on an item.
          machinery enables the item to be rolled     A heated, metal plate is applied to the
          as is it marked, allowing the branding to   surface of the item and when removed it
          cover the circumference of the item.        leaves behind a recessed imprint.

          filled with colour.                         filled with the liquid PVC and left to set
