Does engraving affect the strength of leather?
Engraving does not affect the strength or weaken the properties of leather. Laser engraving is a non-contact process due to the effect of the laser beam to create a design on the leather. Our laser cutting approach only burns away the top layer of the leather, it does not cut into the leather. Therefore, it does not affect the strength of the leather material.
What type of leather is best for laser engraving?
Full-grain leather is known to be the most adaptable leather to use for leather engraving. It is of the finest quality and has the most natural grain and texture. It is also the most durable and can withstand the process without damaging the material.
Furthermore, it is imperative to know that laser-engraved leather is not suitable for some types of faux leather. For more information about our laser engraved services, please email us at info@vr-laser.com.au today.
How thick does leather have to be for laser engraving?
The required thickness of leather depends on the design and equipment utilised for laser engraved leather. A majority of laser engraving equipment can work with leather that is approximately 0.5mm or thicker. Based on the intricacy or in-depth detail of the design, a thicker type of leather will be most beneficial.

How to clean laser engraved leather?
Once your leather has been laser engraved, it shouldn’t require much cleaning, if any. However, to clean laser engraved leather in the best way possible, use a soft cloth with a mild leather cleaner. It is also best to use a gentle cleanser specifically designed for the specific leather. You want to avoid using abrasive chemicals that could damage the leather or its properties. Another important note is to avoid using water or moisture on the leather design as it could have adverse effects on the leather. To answer any queries you have about cleaning leather that has recently been engraved, then email info@vr-laser.com.au today for more information.
Should you wet leather before engraving?
We recommend that you don’t wet leather during the leather engraving process. Moisture such as water added to the leather can distort the material and more importantly, impact the laser engraved leather design. For a crisp and clear design, it would be better to have the leather engraving process in a controlled, low-humidity setting.
What is the difference between embossing leather and laser engraving leather?
The difference between embossing leather and laser engraving leather is the approach to creating the design. Embossing utilises a physical stamp that is pressed into the leather to create the design. This is known to be a less precise approach and can potentially damage the leather.
Laser engraving leather utilises a laser beam to create the desired design. This approach is known to be more accurate, less time-consuming and does not cause any damage to the leather. Request a quote today for our leather engraving services today!
