A cue’s logo is more than a brand mark — it’s the first signal of quality. At OUJING, every cue leaving our factory carries a logo applied through a process carefully matched to the cue’s positioning and materials.
1. Water Transfer Decal
Process:A pre-printed full-color graphic film is applied to the cue shaft and sealed with a protective clear coat.
Best For:Entry-level production cues, bar/house cues, high-volume OEM orders.
Pros:Lowest cost • Fast turnaround • Supports complex multi-color designs.
Considerations:May show wear or peel at high-friction points over time.
Ideal for brands targeting recreational and beginner markets where cost-efficiency matters most.
2、Laser Engraving
Process:A focused laser beam etches the logo directly into the wood or carbon fiber shaft surface. CO₂ lasers for wood; fiber lasers for carbon fiber and metal joints.
Best For:Mid-to-high tier cues, professional series, branded OEM lines.
Pros:Permanent & fade-proof • High precision for fine details • No coating to chip or peel.
Considerations:Produces a monochrome (burned) finish; limited to line-based or tonal artwork.
3、Hot Stamping (Foil Transfer)
Process:Metallic or pigmented foil is transferred onto the cue surface under high temperature and pressure.
Best For:Boutique cue lines, limited editions, brands with specific luxury positioning.
Pros:Rich metallic sheen (gold, silver, rose gold) • More dimensional than printing • Strong brand presence.
Considerations:More complex setup; best suited for medium-to-large batch orders with defined brand guidelines.
4、CNC / Hand Engraving + Fill
Process:Logo channels are carved into the shaft using CNC routing or hand tools, then filled with gold/silver leaf, colored resin, or mother-of-pearl inlay.
Best For:Ultra-high-end custom cues, master series, collector-grade instruments.
Pros:Maximum depth and dimension • True luxury tactile feel • Fully bespoke to artwork.
Considerations:Highest unit cost; longer production time; typically low-MOQ or single-piece commissions.
How OBRIGHT Selects the Right Process
Our master cue makers evaluate three factors before recommending a logo process:
Factor Details
Cue Tier & Target Market Entry rec cue vs. pro tournament cue vs. collector piece.
Shaft Material Maple, ash, carbon fiber, or composite — each interacts differently.
Order Volume & Budget From 500+ unit production runs to single bespoke commissions.
We don’t just stamp a logo — we match the marking method to your brand’s promise.
Whether you’re a distributor launching a house brand, a retailer building a signature line, or a brand owner upgrading your cue quality — OBRIGHT’s 20+ years of cue craftsmanship ensures your logo is applied with the same care as the cue itself.
