Operational Process

STEP01

Prepare & Position the Material

For better laser marking results, place the flip flops as flat as possible on the laser bed. A flat surface helps the engraving stay clear and consistent.


Make sure the engraving area is stable and properly positioned before starting, so the design does not shift during the laser job.

STEP02

Import & Adjust the Design File

Import the flip flops design into LightBurn and check whether your strap size is large enough for the engraving area.


Double-check the layout and decide whether you want to add or remove any design elements. Make sure the engraving parameters are set correctly before starting.

STEP03

Set the Correct Laser Focus

Accurate focusing is important for achieving clean engraving details on EVA flip flops. If your machine has auto focus, use it for quick setup. For manual focusing, lower the laser head with the focus stick until it touches the material surface at the correct angle.

STEP04

Start Engraving

Use the Frame function to outline the laser engraving area. Make sure the projected frame matches the flip flops and the design stays within the intended engraving area.


Once everything is aligned, start the laser job. Stay near the machine while it’s running and monitor the engraving progress. Keep an eye out for excessive smoke, alarms, or any movement that could affect the result.

Post Processing

When the custom flip flops laser engraving is complete, carefully remove them from the laser bed.


Laser engraving does not require complicated post-processing. Simply clean the surface, check the engraved details, and your personalized flip flops are ready to wear.
