Laser Cut Invitations
Laser cut invitations are where printing meets precision engineering. Using computer-controlled laser technology, we cut intricate patterns, filigree borders, lace-like motifs, and architectural details directly into premium card stock, creating invitations that are as much art objects as they are stationery.
The laser cutting process allows for a level of detail that would be impossible to achieve by hand or with traditional die-cutting. Delicate floral patterns, geometric lattices, ornate frames, and custom monograms are all executed with sub-millimetre precision. The cut pattern can serve as the invitation itself or as an outer sleeve that wraps around a printed insert card, creating a layered, reveal-style presentation.
At Perklets Print, our laser cut invitations are produced on stocks from 300 to 450 GSM in a range of colours — classic white, ivory, navy, burgundy, blush, and metallics. The inner insert card carries your event details in full-colour print, while the laser-cut outer layer provides the visual and tactile wow factor. Ribbon ties, belly bands, and custom packaging complete the suite for a truly unforgettable invitation.

FAQs: Laser Cut Invitations
How intricate can the laser cut pattern be?
Our lasers achieve a minimum cut width of 0.8mm, allowing for highly detailed floral, geometric, and filigree patterns. However, the design must maintain structural integrity — we advise against removing more than 40% of the total card area to prevent fragility.
What colours are available for the laser cut sleeve?
We stock white, ivory, cream, blush pink, navy, burgundy, black, gold metallic, silver metallic, and rose gold metallic. Custom colours can be produced with a minimum order of 100 units and additional lead time.
Can I combine laser cutting with foil stamping?
Yes, this is a stunning combination. Foil accents on the laser-cut sleeve add shimmer to the intricate pattern. Production time for combined processes is typically 12–16 working days.
Are the invitations easy to mail?
Laser cut invitations are slightly more delicate than standard cards. We recommend using padded envelopes or rigid mailers for postal delivery. For hand-delivery at events, standard envelopes work perfectly.
Can I provide my own laser cut pattern design?
Absolutely. Provide your pattern as a vector file with cut lines clearly defined. We will review it for structural integrity and laser compatibility, and advise on any adjustments needed before production.
