What can you create with a laser?
Fabric is a great material for laser engraving and cutting and the possibilities of what you can create go on and on. Whether you’re customizing leather wallets, cutting heat-transfer material for personalized t-shirts, or etching fleece pullovers for a company retreat, Epilog systems are ideal for a myriad of applications involving fashion, fabric, and apparel.
The Power of Versatility
Since so many fabrics and textiles are laser-friendly, incorporating this medium into your current product line can help open up new revenue streams. A laser machine will allow you to cut and customize leather coasters, etch canvas tote bags, and personalize fleece blankets, hoodies, and hats. Not only can you directly engrave a variety of fabrics, but you can cut them as well! An Epilog Laser machine allows you to quickly and easily laser cut twill appliques, leather hat patches, pvc-free heat transfer material, and so much more!
Create Striking Graphics
When laser engraved, many fabrics produce a great color contrast. Fleece and micro-fibers typically produce a darker look, while denim and sturdy cottons tend to result in an almost bleached appearance. We recommend experimenting with a variety of fabrics and settings to find out which looks you like best!
Combine Cutting and Engraving
Many fabrics lend themselves to both cutting AND engraving. For example, leather patches can easily be engraved with the laser and then cut to a specific size to fit on hats, backpacks, purses, etc. Heat transfer material is also a popular substrate that can be both engraved and cut. Engraving heat transfer material eliminates the need for weeding and lets you create very intricate designs.
Explore
From leather to twill, cotton to fleece and so many materials in between, fabrics and textiles are quickly becoming a popular material to customize with a laser. Make sure to check out our Sample Club, which features an array popular substrates (including fabric), where you can find free design files and step-by-step instructions for working with textiles!
