Laser engraved trophy label made of TroLase Foil

Learn how you can make an individual trophy sticker with a Speedy flexx and TroLase foil.

Follow our tutorial to create a trophy label using our Speedy laser engraving machine and TroLase Foil. More information about laser processing foils can be found here.

Preparation

Materials required

1/4 sheet TroLase Foil - silver brushed (you can use any colour)
Paper to cover the laser engraving table

Laser engraving machine used

Speedy 360 flexx, 80/30 Watt
2.85" lens
Vacuum table and honeycomb cutting table

Any Speedy laser engraving machine can be used to create this sample (fiber laser not required)

Tips

Due to the intricacy of the design we used a fiber laser to engrave. Thanks to the smaller spot size of the fiber laser better results are achieved. This however will only work on metallic TroLase foils (silver matt, silver brushed, gold, copper).

Using a CO2 laser all TroLase foils can be processed.

Step by step

Step 1

Step 1: Import design

Begin by creating your own design or importing our pre-made template. You can adapt the template as required for your application. Once you are happy with the design send the job to the laser using the driver settings below:

Process mode	Resolution	Cut line	Halftone	Others
Standard	1000 dpi	None	Colour	-

Info: When laser engraving with the fiber laser source, always use 1000 dpi resolution, as it works best in combination with the small spot size of the fiber laser.

Step 2

Step 2: Laser engraving the label

Place the TroLase foil onto your laser machine's bed and focus on the material. Once complete create the parameter settings. These settings will vary depending on your laser machine and the laser power available.

Laser Engraving Parameters:

Colour	Process	Power (%)	Speed (%)	ppi/Hz
Black	Engrave FLP	20	55	30,000

Passes	Air Assist	Z-Offset	Advanced
1	on	0mm	-

Laser Scratching Parameters:

Colour	Process	Power (%)	Speed (%)	ppi/Hz
Red	Cut CO2	8	1	1000

Passes	Air Assist	Z-Offset	Advanced
1	On	4 mm	-

Laser Parameters Kiss-cut:

Colour	Process	Power (%)	Speed (%)	ppi/Hz
Blue	Cut CO2	9	1	1,000

Passes	Air Assist	Z-Offset	Advanced
1	On	-	-

Laser Cutting Parameters:

Colour	Process:	Power (%)	Speed (%)	ppi/Hz
Green	Cut CO2	40	2	1,000

Passes	Air Assist	Z-Offset	Advanced
1	On	-	-

Info:

The fiber laser has the advantage of a smaller spot size, meaning less heat is applied to the material. This way the foil remains flat and does not bend.

Step 3: Cleaning

Once completed clean the material with a damp cloth. This works best inside the laser engraving cabinet with activated exhaust.
