Like die-cutting, laser cutting burns away paper to the shape of you design. Using a laser allows for more intricate and precise designs to be produced. Lasers utilize high heat to burn away materials - effects from the burning process can be visible on the side it is applied. Darker paper or color values is recommended to minimize visibility of these marks. Designs should have a stroke weight of at least 0.5mm (for areas to cut). Grip mark lines should be at least 1mm.
