Create your own unique and intricate wedding invitation using Trotec's LaserPaper colours range. This product is specifically designed for laser processing and can be used for various designs like greeting cards, name tags and even paper gift boxes.
We suggest using two contrasting colours for your design. Darker colours will naturally bring out the visual impact of the finished engraving results. Use a 1.5" lens for detailed cuts.

Step 2: Laser cutting and laser engraving the LaserPaper
Gently place your paper sheets in your Trotec Laser. Be sure to cover the rest of the working surface with a flat substrate, like plain paper. This will help to create a strong vacuum and will stop the rest of the material from shifting slightly. Take note that the parameters are likely to vary between laser machines and the power available.
