What you get
It started as a wrap gift.
It began on a production that needed a slate, and nothing out there felt personal or well made. So Nick and Amanda made their own, then sixteen more as wrap gifts for the directors and fifty-odd more for the rest of the crew. People kept asking. That's still the point: a piece of gear you'll use on the next job and keep on the shelf after. White acrylic, full-color print and human eyes on every one.
For productions
Made by a working DP, for working sets.
Nick is a cinematographer, so every slate is made by someone who knows what it has to do on set.
Gifting made easy
Gifting a filmmaker? We'll nail the details.
Tell us who it's for and what they shoot; we'll lay out their name and title, match the look to their work, and send you a proof before anything gets printed. Nobody has to spoil the surprise.
The first thing in frame, every take.
Printed on the underside and sealed under the surface, so the artwork won't scratch or wear off.
Order. Send. Approve. We do the rest.
Three quick steps on your side. A proof lands in your inbox before anything gets made.
Laser engraved or UV printed
Which finish suits your artwork?
Its own listing — our classic engraved finish
Best for bold logos, clean line art, text, and simple graphic designs.
Laser engraving physically etches the design into the acrylic, giving it a permanent, tactile finish with the traditional look and feel of a professional film slate. For most production logos and slate designs, this is the option we recommend.
Best for
- Logos and production company marks
- Black-and-white artwork
- Bold line art and typography
- Simple, high-contrast graphics
- A classic, engraved film-slate look
This slate
UV printing is ideal when your artwork depends on color, gradients, photographic detail, or very fine elements that are meant to remain exactly as they appear in the original file.
Best for
- Full-color logos
- Photography
- Gradients and shading
- Highly detailed illustrations
- Artwork where specific colors are important
Top sticks
Two ways to top it off.
Both come attached and ready for set. Standard sticks are the classic black and white; premium walnut adds an internal hinge, an engraved logo and a comfort grip.

We have a shoot date. How fast can you turn it around?
Proofs usually land in 24–48 hours, and your slate ships from Los Angeles the day after you approve it. Choose Rush processing to move to the front of the line, and expedited shipping at checkout if the date is tight.
Can you match our production's logo and fonts?
Yes. Email your logo files, artwork and any brand fonts after you order. Send the highest resolution you have; vector (AI, SVG, EPS, PDF) is ideal. You'll approve a proof before anything is printed.
Where do I send logos and names?
Email everything to orders@scorchedlaserworks.com after you order. Send the highest resolution you have; vector (AI, SVG, EPS, PDF) is best. Use Dropbox, Drive or WeTransfer so your mail client doesn't compress it.
What artwork prints best?
Anything. UV printing reproduces full-color logos, posters, photos and gradients true to your file. Send the highest resolution you have; vector (AI, SVG, EPS, PDF) is ideal.
My logo is full color. Which finish?
UV Printed. It reproduces color photos, posters and gradients vibrantly and durably. Multi-color engraving exists but is limited, so UV is the safe call.
Do you make overlays for timecode slates?
Yes. We make custom faceplates for the Denecke TS-C and TS-2/TS-3, Deity TC-S1, Tentacle, Ambient and Betso, laser engraved or UV printed. See the timecode overlay.
Can we order slates for the whole crew?
Yes. Order the slates you need, then email us the names and roles for each one. Nick's first run was sixteen slates for a show's directors and fifty-odd more for its crew.
What's included?
The complete slate: 1/8" white acrylic board with your artwork reverse UV printed under the surface, with the top sticks you choose attached and ready for set.
Can I buy this as a gift?
Absolutely. Tell us who it's for and what they shoot, and we'll help with names, titles and layout. The proof comes to you, not to them, so the surprise stays a surprise.
Returns?
Custom pieces can't be returned. If your slate arrives damaged, defective or not what you ordered, email us and we'll make it right.
For your set, or theirs.
You approve the proof in 24–48 hours. We print, pack and ship from L.A. the next day.
