The Laser advantage

Variety of materials

Due to the nature of how the laser works, the one machine can process a wide variety of materials. Unlike printers which are often limited in what each machine can produce. You usually need a different printer for exterior signs compared to printing invitations or for doing mugs, T-shirts and so on. The laser can easily process wood, MDF, glass, slate, acrylic and more, whether that comes in sheet form or as a ready-made item like a water bottle.

Speed

Another upside of this is that it all ends up in the same piece of software to send the design to the laser. This means that once you have a brand design or logo for one item you have it for all types of items without having to re-import it again. This makes subsequent design work much faster and that means far quicker turnaround times on projects. Often the only thing that changes is the laser setting from, say, acrylic to wood which takes seconds to do.

Agility

Due to our small business size we don’t suffer from any business models that mean we have to enforce minimum order quanties. So you’re just as welcome to order half a dozen branded slate coasters are you are three hundred. Obviously there’s some cost-effectiveness to be had in the larger quantity, however. Whatever your requirement, lasered items means rapid turnaround and a wide choice of material formats all from the same design.
