Supporting print and cut with lasers

The cost of making a basic custom die – never mind an intricate one – can have many customers running for the hills, especially for lower volume runs where it just doesn’t make sense for their budget. With laser processing, as long as you have the vector shape for the outlines you want to cut then it can be done, including fonts. The setup is straightforward needing only your artwork with a couple of alignment markers for the software to align your digital file with the markers on your printed version. Many paper and card stocks are surprisingly robust and can support fine detail without disintegrating or falling apart making them a great, if not obvious, choice for laser processing.
