Laser processing paper
Yart Factory has several laser cutting machines that are ideally suited for processing paper and cardboard.
Technical capabilities
Yart Factory excels in technology, and that’s what sets us apart. Laser cutting and laser die-cutting are common terms, but at Yart Factory, we offer much more when it comes to paper. We use a laser beam with a small diameter that can cut, crease, engrave, etch, and perforate. This allows us to create highly complex and detailed patterns.
Different techniques
We understand that you may not be familiar with all the different techniques, so we are happy to explain them to you.
Laser Rastering or Engraving Photos
Have you ever seen an image or photo that looks like it has been engraved into a material? This is done through a technique known as rastering. Especially with the help of laser machines, this process can achieve stunning detail and precision. But what does rastering really mean, and how does it work with lasers?
What Does Rastering Mean?
Rastering is a technique where an image or photo is engraved into a surface using tiny dots or lines. Instead of printing the image with ink, the engraving process directly burns the image into the material. The result is a beautiful, permanent engraving of a photo or image on surfaces like paper, wood, or metal.
How Does Laser Engraving Work?
In laser engraving, a laser beam is directed at the material, changing the intensity of the laser to create darker and lighter areas of the image. The laser burns the material in a controlled manner, producing stunningly detailed images without the use of ink.
Laser Microperforation
Laser Etching
Etching is a technique that allows you to create an image, pattern, or text in a material by removing the top layer. This is commonly done on materials such as metal, glass, or plastic, but it can also be applied to paper or wood. Modern laser machines make this process highly precise and efficient. But what does etching really mean, and how does it work with lasers?
What is Etching?
In etching, a thin layer of the surface material is removed to reveal an image or text. The result is a subtle engraving, where the material is slightly recessed in the areas that have been etched. This technique is often used for decorative purposes, such as personalizing products or adding logos, as well as for technical applications like labels or barcodes.
How Does Laser Etching Work?
In laser etching, a laser beam is used to heat and remove the material at specific locations. The laser operates with extreme precision, allowing for detailed designs. Instead of cutting through the entire material, the laser only removes the top layer, resulting in a subtle yet clear engraving on the surface.
This technique not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of products but also offers durability, as the engraving is permanent and resistant to wear. Whether for artistic projects or practical labeling, laser etching provides an elegant solution for various applications.
