The slate

Engraved slate, to stand or to hang

The 28 cm round slate, the one in our photos: Luna's portrait, the baby scan, the proposal. In the decorative finish, three coats of paint (white, grey, black) bring out the shades of the photo, and the stand that comes with it keeps it upright.

On painted slate, the engraving comes out white and reads from across the room: a family photo on a sideboard, a portrait of your dog, a date that matters.

Every slate is engraved to order in our Talais workshop, in the Médoc, France, then cleaned, fitted with protective pads, packed and shipped by us. Nobody else handles it.

Our slates are decorative items: we paint them in three coats, white, grey then black, for a bright white engraving with strong contrast. Once painted, they are not meant for food contact: no food or drinks on them.

What we can engrave

A name, a photo, or your logo

  • A name, a word, a date

    "The Bernards", "Luna", "12 June 2026". Handwritten or classic lettering, on one or more lines.

  • A photo

    Slate is the best material for a photo: dark background, light engraving, like a black and white print. Perfect for a pet or a portrait.

  • A Médoc motif

    Lighthouse, pines, waves, grapes: our line drawings, on their own or with your town name.

  • Your logo

    Presentation slates or client gifts: restaurants and wine shops order them with their logo, from 10 pieces.

The material

Natural slate, painted by hand

Slate is a stone: each piece has its own edges, shades and small irregularities. Once engraved it turns light grey, with a matte look that brings out every line.

We paint every slate in three coats before engraving. The laser cuts through the black and reveals the white: the engraving becomes crisp and high-contrast, ideal for a photo.

  • Painted in three coats White, grey then black, for strong contrast.
  • Not for food contact It's a decorative item: no food, drinks or water on the painted slate.
  • Protective pads Pads under the slate so it won't scratch your table.

  • Custom keyrings made for my company NovaCycle Négoce in Saint-Vivien-de-Médoc. The team is really professional, they made prototypes before production so I could approve them, and the result is stunning! The fact that it is made in the Médoc and that it is eco-friendly is brilliant! Thank you Filon Médoc!

FAQ

All about our slates

How long until I receive my slate?

We engrave, finish and pack your order within 48 to 72 hours. The carrier then delivers it in 3 to 5 working days depending on the service chosen. For business orders over 10 batches, we give you a firm date.

Can I serve food on these slates?

No. Our slates are painted (white, grey, black) so the engraving stands out: they are decorative items, not meant for food contact. No food, drinks or water on them.

Can you improve my photo and layout?

Yes, with the layout by the workshop option (+€20). We rework your photos and text: framing, contrast, size and placement, so the engraving comes out at its best. You get the mockup by email, and we only engrave once you approve it. You tell us whether everything suits you before we go ahead.

Can I see the result before engraving?

The customisation page preview shows your text or photo on the slate. If we think a photo won't come out well, we write to you before engraving. Business orders always get a proof.

Which photo should I choose?

A sharp photo with a subject that stands out. On slate, photos with a dark background work especially well: a pet, a portrait, a silhouette. For photos, the 30 cm square slate is the ideal size.

Will my slate look exactly like the photo?

Almost: slate is a natural stone, and its edges and shades vary from piece to piece. That's what makes yours unique.

Are the slates made in France?

The raw slates come from selected suppliers. Everything else happens at our place in Talais: engraving, painting, fitting the pads, packing and shipping. That's why we say "laser-engraved in our Médoc workshop".

It's a gift: can you ship it directly?

Yes. At checkout, tick "It's a gift" and enter their address: we send them the parcel with no invoice inside (you get it by email), with a handwritten note on a card if you like.

Got an engraving idea?

Place your text and photos on the slate, then add it to your basket. A question first? Write to us.
