MakersLABTV S2E17 - Customized Ball Game Gift Sets by Laser Engraving and Sublimation Printing
“Festive season inspired gifts”
The best moment of offering a gift from the bottom of your heart is seeing someone's priceless reaction upon opening the gift. When you give your family and friends custom-made X-mas presents, you are truly extending joy. Personal touch has definitely been added to the gift.
In the gist of social distancing, financial distress and sickness from the Corona pandemic, online exploration and buying patterns specify that people that actively shop for the festive season sought significant presents ranging from custom-made goods to handcrafted items.
In a recent news it has been forecasted that homemade presents and cooking will flourish during the festive season, especially among shoppers who are on a strict budget or those who are going to be indoors for Xmas.
E-commerce sites that feature shops of handcrafted items, crafts and other unique goods, there has been an increase of 156% in searches for custom or personalized presents in the past 3 months in comparison to the same time a year ago.
This goes to show that customization is now the in thing!!!
Riley demonstrates to us how he made a customized ball game gift set and Ice cooler towels making use of AM’s TruCUT CO2 laser cutting and engraving and the FastCOLOUR large format printer respectively.
The First Scene:
To manufacture disks for the ball game set Riley uses the cabinet TruCUT CO2 laser and engraving machine that he purchased from Advanced Machinery and Supawood material.
The engraving was done on the surface of the wood, at a perfect speed.
The Second Scene:
Advanced Machinery introduced the New and Improved TruCUT Lite 400 x 600 mm Desktop 80W CO2 laser cutting and engraving machinery that comes with a complete rotary.
This engraver has an 80-Watt tube to engrave and cut on very thick wood.
The Third Scene:
To make the Ice towel and the ball game gift bag Riley uses the sublimation printing process making use of AM’s FastCOLOUR large format printer.
When he was finished printing on the vinyl, he transmitted the artwork onto polyester substrate making use of a heat press machine and then put the pieces together.
