Switch panel engraving – laser engraving for boats
Laser-engraved labelling for switch panels, dashboards and name plates on board: sharp, permanent and backlit on request. Text, symbols, boat name and logo – in any font, with no charge per character.
Labelling that does not fade
Stickers peel, screen print wears off, and hand-labelled switches are barely legible after a season. At Dashtech all text, symbols and logos are laser engraved. The result is sharp, permanent labelling that does not fade in the sun, does not peel and does not wear off when cleaned.
Any font, any symbol and your own logo are possible – with no charge per character.
Reverse engraved and backlit
On acrylic panels we engrave the back. The labelling sits behind the surface, cannot be felt from the front and is fully protected from wear, fuel and cleaning agents. Aluminium and stainless steel panels are engraved on the front.
Behind reverse-engraved acrylic we fit an opal diffuser so the light spreads evenly over every label. The panel is readable at night without a torch – dimmable and in any colour.

Frequently asked questions about engraving
Can I order just an engraved panel without switches?
Yes. We supply every level, from a blank engraved panel to a fully wired unit.
Can I have my own logo engraved?
Yes. Send us your logo, ideally as a vector file. We prepare it for engraving and show it to you in the digital design.
Is the engraving resistant to salt water and sun?
Yes. Laser engraving does not fade or peel. On acrylic it even sits protected on the back.
Is every character charged extra?
No. Any font, any symbol and your logo are possible with no charge per character.
Want your panel relabelled?
