Prepare the Artwork
Download the graphics above and import it into your graphic software. Make adjustments as necessary.
Send to the Laser
Send the job to the laser with the correct parameters for your machine wattage. We recommend using the bottom-up laser engraving feature to avoid excess smoke/residue settling into the engraved portions of your design.
Assembly
When laser engraved, leather can produce more smoke/residue than other substrates, so we recommend lightly wiping off the patches with a damp cloth when you’re done to remove any residue left behind.
Lastly, remove the protective backing from the patch and brim and adhere them to your caps.
