With Christmas right around the corner, now is the perfect time to start brainstorming some unique personalised gift ideas that will be sure to capture the hearts of your friends, family, and loved ones this holiday season.
Thankfully, at Vector & Raster Laser Services, we tend to receive a plenty of personalised gift projects that bring some light and life to our own studios in the leadup to the holidays – and this year in particular, we’re seeing a lot of acrylic laser cutting projects. This is pretty exciting, mainly because of the sheer versatility of acrylic for gift production. We’ve also been able to combine laser cut acrylic with other laser cutting materials like plywood to create practical personalised gift items (like these laser engraved plywood boxes, for instance).
If you want to dive deeper into all the many benefits of acrylic laser cutting for creating showstopping holiday decor and gift items, then stick with us, as our laser cutters share some of their favourite acrylic gift ideas to produce right here in our studio.
The Benefits of Acrylic Laser Cutting for Holiday Items
Before we get into some of our favourite laser cut acrylic designs, let’s first outline just what makes acrylic such a fantastic material for creating custom holiday decor and even branded mementos for corporate Christmas gifts.
For starters, acrylic is a highly versatile, low-cost laser cutting material, which makes it a suitable choice for bulk order projects. If you’re looking to produce stunning, highly durable and long-lasting personalised holiday decor or keepsakes that maintain a lower cost per unit, acrylic is sure to be a great choice.
Acrylic sheets are also available in a wide variety of colours, finishes, and sheet sizes/thicknesses. Whether you’re looking to manufacture acrylic baubles with custom laser engraving for personalisation, or even larger items like acrylic boxes, you can find acrylic sheets with the right qualities, colours, and dimensions to suit your project.
To sum up, here are just some of the key benefits of using acrylic laser cutting for producing holiday decor and gift items:
- Affordable, accessible, and suitable for bulk order projects
- Hard-wearing surfaces allow for intricate design work
- Durable and multi-purpose finished products
- Very customisable, with acrylic sheets available in a wide range of colours, finishes, and thicknesses
Top Acrylic Laser Cutting Design Ideas for Holiday Projects
We’ve spoken a little already about how versatile acrylic is for laser cutting projects – but what exactly can you produce in the way of holiday decor and Christmas keepsakes when working with laser cut acrylic?
Our team at Vector & Raster Laser have compiled a small list of some of our absolute favourite festive-themed acrylic laser cutting projects. Let these little ideas spark your own imagination in the leadup to the holiday season.
Laser Cut Tree Ornaments
There’s plenty that you can create in the way of laser cut Christmas decorations, but one of the most popular products we’ve produced time and time again has to be some personalised acrylic tree ornaments. These can be cut to a range of different sizes and in a variety of colours, so you can easily create designs for individual gift recipients.
For instance, if you’re looking for great gifts for the kids or grandkids to commemorate a special family Christmas, gifting everyone their very own personalised acrylic Christmas bauble with their name and the year engraved will mean your little laser cut tree ornament won’t just be useful on the tree this year, but may even become a family treasure that is hung fondly for many holiday seasons still to come.
Laser Cut Holiday Invitations
Mementos can come in many forms, which is why more creative Christmas gift givers are thinking outside the box when it comes to applying acrylic laser cutting. In other words, instead of printing out your Christmas lunch invitations or even sharing e-invites, why not create your own laser cut invitations that preserve your family’s Christmas Day plans every year?
There’s just something about frosted acrylic that provides such a timeless backdrop for a Christmas invitation! Or if you wanted to go a step further, you can even create your own laser cut acrylic place settings for your Christmas table, or even prep your own laser cut acrylic menus that immortalise your Christmas lunch in a striking serif or sans serif font.
Laser Cut Gifts & Homewares
Laser cut decor is sure to delight across any holiday or event (check out our laser cut acrylic Halloween decorations, for instance), but the natural warmth and togetherness of Christmas makes the holiday season such a perfect fit for giving lovingly personalised laser cut decor, homewares, and other homey gifts.
We’ve been known to produce a wide variety of laser cut products here at Vector & Raster Laser Services, which includes laser cut homewares like acrylic lamps, paperweights, bookends, clocks, and other types of acrylic laser cut decorations.
Laser Cut Acrylic Jewellery & Keychains
In our work providing laser cutting for small business manufacturing, we’ve also found ourselves preparing acrylic to be used in jewellery and keychain production. Acrylic jewellery is always guaranteed to be eye-catching, and make for great conversation starters. And as we’re working with independent Australian creators, we get to produce some seriously fun laser cut acrylic jewellery, like galah earrings or a golden bursting wattle pendant.
Laser Cut Acrylic LED Signage
Moving even further into small business territory now, we produce laser cut acrylic signage for retail businesses and even office spaces and other types of business premises to help corporate teams get into the festive spirit. For even more added fun, our laser cut acrylic signage can be paired with LED backlighting to create a neon or glowing effect – perfect for getting some last-minute holiday foot traffic in before you close up shop for the year!
Laser Cut PoS Displays
Laser cut acrylic is also perfect for producing eye-catching PoS displays in time for the holiday season. With durable designs prepared within a rapid fire turnaround time by our laser cutter extraordinaires, your laser cut PoS displays won’t just be ready in time for this Christmas – you could even safely pop them in storage so you can pull them out and reuse them for next Christmas as well.
