My wife got a commission to create 450 cookies as a Save The Date gift and I got to create the Save The Date tag and our marketing tag behind it. I printed tag sets on our laser printer and then laser cut details out of them plus the outlines. Quite a process to align all those cuts.
My wife baked the chocolate chip and macaroon cookies and then tied the tags on.
Yes. I created an .AI file that included my print art and cut lines along with some alignment dots.
I printed the sheets with print art and alignment dots, but cut lines hidden.
Then I turned off print art and turned on cut lines with alignment dots and saved as an SVG. I imported the SVG to the GFUI.
I put each sheet on the Glowforge. I used magnets to mark where my lower left corner should be and another below the right corner. 4. Then I cut the alignment dots to see how far off I was and then shifted, cut, shifted, cut until I was aligned and then turned off alignment dots and cut the shapes.
Thanks. That stack was just about 50 tags. My wife says that we were closer to 525 cookies with 2 tags each. The Glowforge makes this possible for the masses. Amazing.
