Engraving polymer clay pen

[Bobby McCarley]

I posted this on another site with no response. Hopefully someone can help me out here. I have a customer who wants a pen made with a baseball theme. I have found two prospects and one of them is made with polymer clay. My question is, can polymer clay be laser engraved? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Polymer clay is made with PVC, you don't want to laser it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_clay

Check out this video - I think it should help you answer the question.

Interesting video Mike. Although those guys sound like they are from The Muppets!

Why not buy something like this then engrave it?
