Clear acrylic and gold sheets?

Do they sell a clear acrylic with gold? I need to make place cards for a wedding and they want the names gold on clear acrylic rounds ? Normally I just cut and engrave the clear acrylic then paint the names gold and then remove backing but I am hoping someone sells this combo ?

Don’t cut PVC with your laser.

put the gold foil over the clear acrylic, cover the foil with masking, engrave the name, remove the excess foil - end result is gold name on clear acrylic

Or score the foil and weed it.

Or use transfer tape to stick it to your blanks.
