Print and signage industry

Everyone is familiar with signage in the form of logos or text on signs, banners or posters used on their own. A striking, recognisable illuminated sign that is clearly visible from the motorway, for example. But signage is much more than just advertising.

‍

You see it in interiors too. Such as in a restaurant where a clear identity is visible down to the smallest details. From the sign welcoming guests at the entrance to the coat hangers in the cloakroom. From the glasses from which fine wines are drunk to the menu featuring the most delicious dishes. The corporate identity can be reflected everywhere. This ensures recognisability and puts people at ease. When producing all these very different print and signage applications, a laser machine offers clear advantages.

A laser machine gives you the opportunity to expand your services. Outsource less, save time and cut and engrave an even wider range of products. It is a valuable addition to any organisation in the print and signage industry, enabling corporate identities to be presented even more effectively.

The versatility of a laser machine

The print and signage industry is not only versatile because of the wide variety of items produced. The wide range of materials used also demonstrates this versatility. Think of paper, cardboard, glass, foam board, plexiglass, acrylic, film, multi-wall sheet and reboard. It is a comprehensive sector that works with a variety of materials. Because a laser machine can process all these different materials, it is a valued tool.

‍

Do you design logos or façade signage and outsource them? That’s no longer necessary. With a laser machine, you can cut them yourself. That saves you time. What’s more, you can expand your service offering and provide even more for your customers. Design small and large items and laser-cut or laser-engrave them yourself. Reproduce that same logo on all sorts of objects made from different materials. This is a simple way to reinforce your corporate identity even further.

Expand your possibilities with a laser machine

Wood, acrylic and cardboard are materials often used for advertising boards, lettering, packaging or displays. The role a laser machine can play in this is very clear. Being able to do everything in-house, from design to production, is one of the advantages.

‍

A somewhat lesser-known application is the production of stickers. You may currently be using several machines for this – for printing, die-cutting and cutting. If you have a laser machine for part of that process, it reduces maintenance costs. This is because laser cutting is a contactless process. Among other things, this means there is no wear and tear on blades. Over time, the laser source will need to be replaced. But with a lifespan of around 5 years (depending, of course, on the number of production hours and the materials used), you’re set for quite some time.

‍

The added value of a laser machine within the print and sign industry lies not only in working faster with a wide variety of materials. Consider the following as well:
‍

• The quality is high, and post-processing is hardly necessary
• The laser cuts and engraves with an accuracy of 0.1 mm
• Every engraving or cut line is identical, which is ideal for larger volumes
• Laser machines do not involve machining, so there is less cutting waste and this saves raw materials.
• Complex shapes as well as sleek designs can be produced perfectly, allowing you to create the most unique products
