Laser Cutting

Precision-cut detail with stunning accuracy

Laser cutting unlocks ultra-fine details, patterns, apertures and decorative cuts that traditional die-cutting simply can’t achieve. It’s the technique for showpiece invitations, intricate packaging and work where the detail is the design.

Why Laser Cutting matters

  • Unmatched precision – Micro-details, geometric patterns and lace-like cuts.
  • No tooling required – Ideal for short and medium runs.
  • Clean, crisp edges – Perfect for premium covers and special editions.
  • Creative freedom – Complex shapes, windows, perforations and textures.

Creative Laser Cutting

  • Fine Detail Cutting - Micro bridges, filigree, tiny apertures, perfect for art-led work.
  • Perforations - Functional or decorative tear lines.
  • Vector Engraving - Light surface marking for linework and patterns.
  • Hybrid Workflows - Combine laser detail with traditional die-cutting for speed and accuracy.

What this unlocks for your project

  • Intricate pattern work on brochure covers and sleeves.
  • Cut-through logos and brand apertures on packaging.
  • Decorative edges, lattice work and filigree effects.
  • Invitation and event pieces with wow factor.

Tech specs at a glance

  • Works best on stocks 120 – 400gsm.
  • Slight edge darkening may occur on certain uncoated papers (we test first).
  • Avoid unsupported islands or hairline shapes thinner than 0.4 mm.
  • Ideal for short runs where tooling cost would be wasteful.

Design tips

  • Use single, clean vector paths for all cuts.
  • Keep delicate areas supported with micro-bridges.
  • For packaging, ensure structural integrity around tabs and flaps.
