LASER ENGRAVED CHOCOLATES

This week's Technical Tip is a fun one! Someone in the office mentioned laser engraving on food items, and the Halloween theme was a perfect test for it. We used one of our LS100 30W's to laser engrave some chocolate peanut butter cups* with jack-o-lantern faces for decorations.


Creating these fun decorations is easy.

1.  First  gather your jack-o-lantern faces and vectorize them. Here you can see them opened in GravoStyle™.

These are just a few creative examples for using your laser engraver. If you would like to try it yourself, download the job save here, or share your own creative holiday engraving ideas!
