Personalized Laser Engraving of Electronic Devices

One of the most popular trends in the A&E, Promotional, and Gift industries is the personalization of electronic devices.

If you’re in the laser engraving industry and are looking into getting into a hot new market which will allow you to supply goods in high demand this is definitely one to explore!

It’s a trendy and fun way to personalize your iPhone, Blackberry, laptop computer, tablets, PC’s, MP3 Player, flash drives, and much more!

 

Customers love having their own work of art or favorite design etched on their electronic devices. In addition to being trendy and cool the personalization of electronic device is an excellent way for schools, companies, and government offices to brand and track company owned devices.

The exterior of most electronic devices is made from anodized aluminum, coated plastics, or bare metal. In order to provide your customers with any engraving solution needs it's ideal for any engraving shop to have a laser system that can quickly and easily engrave something no matter the material. Which is why we love using the Speedy 300 Flexx!

The Speedy 300 Flexx has both a CO2 and Fiber laser tube coupled with engraving speeds up to 140 in/sec you can quickly laser process any electronic device as well as other objects made of wood, paper, plastics, metals, rubber, stone, acrylic, and fabric... Making the laser cutting, engraving, and marking possibilities endless!

Multi Color Appliqué

Appliqué is an excellent method of decorating apparel.

It is most commonly used for decorating sporting apparel; such as jersey’s, sweatshirts, and hats with names, numbers, and team logos. 

Laser’s offer unique benefits over traditional methods of producing appliqué such as knife or die cutting. With a laser system you can achieve better accuracy, finished quality, and detail! You also get sealed edges (no fraying), no fabric distortion, and no tool wear. The laser is a flexible tool that gives you a "cutting edge" advantage over traditional methods!

LET'S TRY IT!

1:  First you will need to create your graphic. For your first attempt we suggest choosing something simple such as a letter or number. We are going to produce a two color appliqué, so we will need two cut lines. Choose two colors you use for cutting on your laser.


 

2:  Choose two colors of poly-twill with a PSA backing. Leave protective backing on the bottom color and remove protective backing from top color. Place top color onto bottom color making sure to smooth out any air bubbles. Now the material is ready for laser processing. Using a piece of scrap twill run a small test to determine two settings; one color to kiss cut and the other color to cut through both layers.
 

3:  Position your twill in your laser system and focus (tip- we suggest using a 1.5” focus lens). Send your graphic to your laser. Make sure to set the proper material settings for each color as you determined in the previous step.  


 

Step 4: Remove from laser and weed as desired to expose bottom layer and voila appliqué is now complete and ready to apply!

Happy Appliqueing!
