Trophy Plate

Make Your Own Trophy Label

Need to recognize someone for doing a good job? We have a winning idea!

Use your Trotec laser system and TroLase Metallic Plus to create a personalized trophy plate.

Equipment and Materials

Materials

1/4 sheet of TroLase Metallic Plus Brushed Stainless Steel/Black (1/8")
Material to cover the laser's work area (e.g., printing paper)

Trotec Laser and Accessories

NOTE: Any CO₂, fibre, or flexx™ laser from the Speedy series can be used for this project.

Tip

Although metallic TroLase materials can be processed with a CO₂ laser, we recommend using a fibre laser because it is capable of engraving minute details with greater clarity.

Step by Step

Step 1: Configure the Design and Send the File to JobControl®

Create your own design, or use our template (available below) and resize the graphics as needed. Use the following JobControl® Process Options in the Print menu:

Process mode	Resolution	Cut line	Halftone	Others
Standard	1000 dpi	None	Color	-

NOTE: If you are using a Speedy flexx/fibre system, ensure to select a 1000 dpi resolution. Combined with the precision of a fibre laser beam, a high design resolution will offer optimal processing results.

Step 2: Process the TroLase Metallic Plus Sheet

Place the TroLase sheet on your laser's work area, and ensure that the material is in focus. Next, enter the parameters specified below in the JobControl® Materials database window.

Process the sheet in the following order:

Engrave
"Scratch effect" cut
Kiss cut
Cut

NOTE: The exact parameters may vary depending on your laser system and its wattage.

cleaning trolase foil — Remove remaining residue with a damp cloth

Step 3: Clean the Material

Wipe the processed TroLase sheet with a damp cloth. So that the material may dry more quickly, keep the sheet on the laser's work area with the exhaust system enabled.
