Decorative etching includes a broad spectrum of applications: jewelry, ornaments, commemoratives, signage, advertising specialties, emblems, and insignia. Among the more complex applications for decorative photo etching are the creation of intricate kits of parts to build models of villages, railroads, ships and planes.

Photochemical etching is a versatile solution for many decorative projects. By using "double process" methods, very intricate and detailed surface features can be etched on one or both sides of the sheet and then the "through" features such as the part profile and other effects can be photo etched.
The use of half-etched folding lines allows the parts to be readily formed into a variety of shapes.
Many decorative products are photo etched in brass or copper, although stainless steel, aluminum and bronze are easily etched as well.
Photochemical machining is also used in architectural applications including lighting, signage, inlays, facades, coffers and more.
