TroLase Lights can be processed very easily, even with a fiber laser!
Step by Step
Step 1: Import Design

Step 2: Engraving - TroLase Lights
Place the TroLase Lights into your laser engraving machine and cover the rest of the engraving table with something like spare paper. This will maximise the vacuum effect. Once you are ready, start the engraving, working from the bottom and moving upwards. This will help prevent dust from settling on and smudging the engraved areas. Remember: the parameters may differ depending on what machine you are using and its available laser power.

Info:
When kiss-cutting, you only cut through the top layer of the sticker material, leaving the back layer intact. This will allow the stickers to be easily peeled and removed without the risk of damage.

Step 3: Cleaning & Assembly
Cleaning the material is easy - we suggest using a simple damp cloth. Make sure you leave the material in the machine with the vacuum on to make this cleaning process easier on your or your team.

Engraving TroLase foil
Try using two contrasting colours of TroLase Lights to produce counterpart stickers that can be used for 'unreleased' items.
You can easily adapt the graphics to suit your requirements, and even individualise the items.
