Laser Etching

Use laser etching to add functional or decorative details to papers, plastics, and acrylics.

Laser etching is very similar to laser ablation or laser scoring: the laser cuts into a homogenous material to partially remove layers at a specific depth (without completely penetrating all the way through) in order to create a three-dimensional or design in the substrate. Laser etching is distinguished from laser scoring and ablating mainly because:

 

 

Laser etching can be combined with other laser processes for a complete production solution.

Laser Etching Systems & Services

LasX can help you build entire laser systems for your unique production needs or can integrate laser modules into your existing equipment.

 

Additionally, our converting services teams will laser process your materials in-house, offering cost-effective contract production for both small and large volume runs.

 

Benefits of Laser Etching:

  • Unique or complex patterns and shapes can be etched without design restrictions
  • Change a design digitally using vector files, decreasing downtime
  • Non-contact, fast, clean processing
  • Low maintenance digital technology eliminates tool wear
  • Embed etched features into films for security
