Introduction

Are you still thinking about what you can make with your laser engraving machine?


Take a look at the everyday objects around you and customize them with your own personal touch. This time, we are engraving a pearwood tissue box to make it more unique.


With a simple design and clean laser engraving, a common household item can become a decorative piece that fits your home, desk, or bathroom more beautifully.

Operational Process

STEP01

Prepare & Position the Tissue Box

Place the pearwood tissue box on the laser bed and make sure the engraving surface is clean and stable.


Secure the tissue box if needed so it does not shift during engraving. A stable position helps keep the pattern or text clear and properly aligned.

STEP02

Import & Adjust the Design File

Import the wooden tissue box design file into LightBurn, then adjust the size, position, and engraving settings according to the tissue box surface.


Check that the pattern or text is placed within the desired engraving area before starting the laser job.

Set the Correct Laser Focus

Accurate focusing is important for clean engraving on wood.


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 wood surface at the correct angle.

STEP04

Frame the Design and Start Laser Engraving

Use the Frame function to check the engraving area and confirm that the design stays within the tissue box surface.


Once everything is aligned, start the laser engraving job. Stay near the machine and monitor the process to ensure the engraved details remain clean and even.
