This technique is also very popular thanks to its processing speed, low costs and versatility of design. 

Whether it is leather, natural hide, deer leather or suede leather, laser engraving guarantees maximum definition and quality of customisation, both for individual pieces and in case of large batches.

Let's see together the various types of leather suitable for laser processing, the techniques and the advantages of laser engraving.

Types of leather and hide suitable for laser processing

The laser engraving on the leather guarantees high quality, precision, and quick finishes. In addition, the ability to accurately reproduce figures, writings and logos on different materials gives the laser an important competitive advantage over other techniques.

Let's see together the types of leather suitable for laser engraving:

Real Leather 

Often used for wallets, folders, briefcases, bracelets, belts and much more. Laser processing on this material is quick and economical, while maintaining precision and quality of processing.

Natural leather

Bags, belts, and accessories can be customised and finished quickly.

Suede leather

Thanks to the characteristics of this material, laser engraving guarantees clean and perfectly sealed edges.

Imitation leather

It is one of the most used materials for laser machining, as it does not require any subsequent machining.

LaserLeather

It is a bi-colour synthetic leather, created specifically for high quality laser machining. 

The advantages of laser engraving on leather and hide

Laser engraving on leather and hide offers several benefits compared to traditional engraving methods. 

Main advantages of leather laser engraving

Precision

The laser makes it possible to obtain extremely precise and detailed engravings. Laser technology precisely controls the power, depth, and width of the cut, allowing you to achieve accurate, high-quality results.

Flexibility and versatility

Laser engraving can be used to create a wide range of designs, logos, texts, and motifs on leather and hide. The flexibility of laser technology allows you to easily customize products, such as bags, belts, wallets, and shoes, according to customer needs.

Speed and efficiency

Laser engraving is a fast and efficient process. In fact, laser technology is able to perform the engraving quickly and continuously, reducing production times and allowing you to work on large quantities in a short time.

Minimal material damage

Laser engraving generates very little heat and minimizes damage to surrounding material. This is particularly important for leather and hide, as it reduces the risk of burning, deformation or distortion of the material during the engraving process.

Personalization and branding

Laser engraving allows you to add a personalized touch to leather and hide products. You can engrave names, initials, company logos or other distinctive elements to create unique products. This is particularly beneficial for the fashion and accessories industry, where customisation is in high demand.

Durability

Laser engraving on leather and hide is durable and long-lasting. Because the laser creates precise and well-defined engravings, the mark or design remains sharp and does not fade easily over time.

Minimal maintenance requirements:

Laser engraving systems require minimal maintenance compared to other engraving methods. Therefore, no spare knives or blades are necessary, and periodic maintenance is reduced to cleaning the lenses and checking the operating status of the laser itself.

Conclusions

In general, laser engraving on leather and hide offers a flexible, precise, and efficient option to create customized products, distinguish your brand and achieve high quality results.
