Cutting, punching and engraving business cards with a laser

It’s not just in industrial production for processing metal and plastic that laser cutting and laser marking are considered efficient and advanced processes. The modern technology also offers a number of benefits when it comes to using lasers on paper, business cards, etc. in digital printing. Customise or finish your stationery and make your products stand out. Whether you want to give your business cards an unusual shape with fine, laser-cut edges or a special surface structure for an interesting feel – the laser machines from JustLaser make it possible! Benefit from maximum efficiency and outstanding results!

The ability to use lasers on paper, business cards, etc. in digital printing gives copy shops and print shops a number of options for finishing printed products such as flyers, packaging, cards, invitations, etc. The process has proven to be profitable, even for small print runs, and has already established itself as a popular method in the industry. Many other print materials in addition to paper can be processed using the laser cutters from JustLaser. As laser cutters can even produce fine designs with thin lines accurately and have a high degree of flexibility, you can implement a large number of customisation options. At the same time, they are particularly gentle on delicate materials and are therefore ideally suited for processing paper.

APPLICATIONS OF LASER PROCESSING IN DIGITAL PRINTING

The precise laser technology can be used to not only cut or engrave digital print products, but also to perforate or finish them. Let your creativity run free! The use of lasers on paper, business cards, etc. in digital printing has applications for the following products:

• Business cards
• Invitations, greetings cards and place cards
• Announcements such as marriage announcements, birth announcements and death announcements
• Flyers
• Special packaging, labels, etc.

In addition, a variety of materials can be processed when using lasers on digital print products:

• Paper
• Cardboard
• Plastics
• MDF
• Acrylic, etc.

Similar to wood and cardboard, the sublimation process is used when cutting various types of paper. In this process, the material is vaporised by the laser, which produces a fine cut. Optimised laser parameters, table extractors and air being blown in prevent the fine material from burning.

Print enhancement is also an important topic when it comes to using lasers on paper, business cards, etc. in digital printing. Surfaces are selectively changed and thus made more interesting using the following processes:

• Laser punching: in this process, as in laser cutting, a laser is used to precisely produce fine details.
• Laser perforation: all types of perforation can be produced easily using the efficient JustLaser Laser Cutters. In this method, tiny holes are produced using a laser to provide a special look and feel.
• Laser marking: whether it’s invitations, flyers or business cards – in laser marking, the material in question is burned or vaporised, bringing about a high-contrast change to the surface of the material.

Along with using lasers on paper, business cards, etc. in digital printing, JustLaser also provides the ideal laser machines for cutting metal, aluminium, sheet metal and copper or acrylic.
