Since the cup was slightly at an angle I took the band off and taped it down flat so it can easily fit in the glowforge. I got little lines I think because it wasn’t taped tightly enough and it bowed up a bit in the middle. Lesson learned for next time. 
I used the silicon stamp setting. It had a little bit of dust but not too bad. I just cleaned it off with a toothbrush and soapy water. $3 cup from Target…could sell for $15

Your way of doing things is better. I’d build the jig to hold the band, then get distracted and never get around to the engraving/cutting of the band itself.

Stretch the band around an appropriate size/thick wood block to flatten and secure it.

That’s what I was thinking. A thin wedge shape might do the trick.

I am pretty surprised that I had been unaware that we could engrave silicon. What!? Awesome!

Only if it has an e on the end. But most of us don’t meet the other kind up close that often.
