Laser engraved trophy label made of TroLase Foil
Learn how you can make an individual trophy sticker with a Speedy flexx and TroLase foil.
Preparation
Required material
- 1/4 sheet TroLase foil silver brushed (or any other color of your choice)
- Material to cover the engraving tabl
Machine used
- Speedy 360 flexx, 80/30 Watt
- 2.85" lens
- Vacuum table and honeycomb cutting table
You can produce this sample with any machine of the Speedy family (no fiber laser required).
Tips
We engraved this sample with the fiber laser, because the design is extremely intricate. Due to the smaller spot size of the fiber laser, we achieve better results. This works only on metallic TroLase foils (silver matt, silver brushed, gold, copper).
With the CO2 laser you can process all TroLase foil materials.
Step by step

Step 1: Import design
Make your own design or import our template. Adapt it to the size of your trophy if necessary. Then send the job to the laser using the driver settings below:
Process mode | Resolution | Cut line | Halftone | Others |
---|---|---|---|---|
Standard | 1000 dpi | None | Color | - |
Info: When engraving with the fiber laser, always use 1000 dpi resolution. It works best in combination with the small spot size of the fiber laser.

Step 2: Laser process label
Put the TroLase foil into your laser and focus on the material. Then make the parameter settings. Our settings can vary depending on laser machine and laser power available.

Info:
The advantage of the fiber laser is the smaller spot size. Therefore less heat is applied on the material. The foil remains flat and does not bend.

Step 3: Cleaning
Clean the label with a damp cloth. This works best inside the engraving cabinet with activated exhaust.
Preparation
You Will Need
- Any choice of 1/4 sheet TroLase Lights
- Spare material to cover the engraving table
You can use any material you'd like from the TroLase Lights range.
Machine Used
- Speedy 360 flexx, 80/30w
- 2.85" lens
- Vacuum table & honeycomb cutting table
Keep in mind that you can produce this sample using any machine from the Trotec Speedy series, and it doesn't necessarily need to be a flexx machine.
Tips
We decided to engrave this with a fiber laser due to the intricacy of the design. Due to the fiber laser's tiny spot size, we found this helped to achieve better results. However, fiber will only work on ‘metallic’ Trotec materials.
When you use the CO2 laser it might be harder to achieve the sharpest, finest details, but you will be able to process any TroLase Light you'd like.
Step by step

Step 1: Import the Design
Have a go at creating your very own design, or you can feel free to import the template we have provided. Then, adapt it to the size of your trophy and send it to the laser machine using the following driver settings:
Process Mode | Resolution | Cut Line | Halftone | Others |
---|---|---|---|---|
Standard | 1000dpi | None | Colour | - |
Remember: When engraving with a fiber laser, always use 1000dpi for your resolution. It will work better when combined with the small spot size of the fiber laser.

Step 2: Laser Process - Label
Place your chosen TroLase Lights into your laser engraving machine and focus on the material. Then, it's time to create the parameter settings. Please note that the settings we have provided may vary depending on which Trotec machine you are using and its available laser power.

Info:
The best thing about the fiber laser here is the significantly smaller spot size. This means that less heat is being applied to the material, so the material should remain flat and not warp.

Step 3: Cleaning
Now, you just need to give the label a quick clean with a damp cloth. This works best if you leave the material inside the engraving machine with the exhaust activated.
