Wine box from wood

Here, you can learn how to make a great and solid wine box out of our line of veneered woods.

Preparation

Required material:

1 sheet of Trotec veneer walnut, 1/8" (available at Trotec)
1 sheet of Trotec veneer birch, 1/8" (available at Trotec)
Jute yarn for the handle
Covering material

Used machine:

Speedy 360, 80 Watts with 2.0" lens
Aluminum cutting grid table

This wine box can be made with any other of Trotec's laser machines.

Important:

Cover the working area completely with paper so that all sheets are flat.
Use a 2" lens to compensate differences in material thickness

Step by Step

Step 1: Import design

Design your own file for your wine box or download our free template to save time.

Important:

This template was made for a standard 750 ml bottle of wine. Please ensure that these dimensions are correct for the bottle of wine you would like to box. If not, adapt the design necessarily.

Step 2: Laser process

Set the laser parameters like indicated below. Keep in mind that these parameters are set up for a speedy 360 80W, if using another machine you may have to adapt them. Put the wood into your Trotec laser, engrave and cut the different pieces. For a more exotic look, we decided to use two different types of veneers.

Laser Parameters:

Color	Process	Power (%)	Speed (%)	ppi/Hz
black	engraving CO₂	80	50	500
red	cutting CO₂	100	1,0	1000

Passes	Air Assist	Z-Offset	Advanced
1	on	+6 mm	High quality

Info:

Wood is a natural product. Its characteristics can vary. We recommend to test the parameters before you produce the work piece.

Step 3: Cleaning and assembly

Clean the cut pieces with a damp cloth. All you need for the assembly are the wooden parts and a little bit of dexterity. The individual pieces are put together one by one resulting in a finished wine box.

The video shows you how to assembly the box.

Inspirations

The box is perfectly suitable for an individualized gift. You can produce the box in advance and add your customers' engraving afterwards.
