    you can get anything engraved, even metal.
    The engraving machine is basically a laser cutter set on a very low power. The laser only burn through a very fine amount of material, making a design.
    You would need to go to a professional laser etching place to do it right the first time.
    If you live by an architecture firm/architecture college, they will have laser cutters, which you may be able to talk your way into using for a few hours.
    You would just need to have a few extra lids, because it takes a long time to get the laser settings perfect.
