LEATHER
LASER ENGRAVING AND MARKING ON LEATHER
Leather has become an exceptionally popular material for marking and engraving, offering valuable opportunities to create custom leather goods. This process is made even simpler with a laser engraver.
Our cutting-edge CO2 galvo lasers at Radian Laser Systems quickly produce a noticeable, clean contrast on leather that’s difficult to achieve with traditional methods. And unlike rotary cutters and manual tools, there’s no part-to-part contact with our machinery. This means there aren’t any blades or costly parts to replace.
Whatever the scope of your business or application, Radian Laser Systems has a machine to meet your needs. Contact us to find your optimal machine for laser engraving and printing on leather!
How Does CO2 Laser Marking on Leather Work?
Marking and engraving leather involves directing a highly focused laser beam on the leather’s surface. This energy heats the surface, causing the material to vaporize and leaving a permanent mark.
Our software and the provided design control the entire engraving process to ensure marks are made only in the intended spots. As your laser equipment supplier, Radian Laser Systems can customize this software to your exact needs.
With its ability to produce precise marks and repeatable results, laser engraving on leather opens a world of possibilities. Create any design, from simple text to intricate patterns.

FAQs
What is the best machine for precision leather cutting and engraving?
CO2 laser machines are considered the best option for laser engraving and cutting on leather. The longer wavelength is easily absorbed by leather. This allows for more precise and detailed cutting with minimal burning.
These machines also produce more consistent results at faster speeds than other methods.
Does personalized leather laser engraving work for any leather?
No. While versatile, laser engraving does not work well for all leather types. Chrome-tanned leather can release toxic fumes when heated, and may result in a warped texture when engraved. Faux leather made with PVC also produces harmful fumes.
The best types of leathers for laser marking and engraving include:
- Full- and top-grain leather
- Vegetable-tanned leather
- Genuine leather
- Synthetic leather
What’s the ideal setting for industrial laser etching on leather goods?
There aren’t any one-size-fits-all settings for industrial laser engraving and printing on leather. Your settings depend on factors such as leather type, thickness, and the desired depth.
At Radian Laser Systems, we recommend test engraving on a scrap piece of leather. Start with a high speed and low to medium power to avoid burning the leather. Perform test runs to find your optimal balance.
