Introduction

Let’s turn a leather card holder into a unique everyday accessory.


Laser marking can add permanent logos, names, initials, or custom designs to leather with clean precision. It gives a simple card holder a more personal and refined look while keeping it practical for daily use, travel, business, or gifting.


In this tutorial, you will learn how to position the leather card holder, import the marking file, set the correct focus, frame the design, and complete a personalized leather card holder with Aurora Lite.

Before your work begins

Make sure the machine is connected and operating normally
Remove the lens cover before marking
Keep the leather card holder clean, flat, and stable on the laser bed
Test the marking settings before processing the final card holder

Operational Process

STEP01

Prepare & Position the Leather Card Holder

Place the leather card holder on the laser bed with the marking surface facing upward.


Since the marking area is flat, the leather card holder is well suited for laser marking. Make sure the leather surface is clean, flat, and stable before processing.

STEP02

Import & Adjust the Marking File

Load your design into LightBurn software, then adjust the size and position to fit the card holder.


Check the logo, name, initials, or custom artwork placement carefully. Then confirm that the laser marking parameters are set correctly before starting.

STEP03

Set the Correct Laser Focus

Missing the focus is one of the biggest reasons for laser marking failure. Make sure the leather card holder surface is properly focused before processing.


You can use auto focus or manual focus. When the focus is accurate, the marked details will appear cleaner and more consistent on the leather surface.

STEP04

Frame the Design & Start Laser Marking

Press the frame button and check whether the red light indicates the correct marking area. The frame should be located in the middle of the leather card holder.


If the frame is not aligned, adjust the design position until it fits correctly. After checking, close the laser door and begin the Aurora Lite laser marking process.

Post Processing

Stay near the machine during operation and monitor for unusual sounds or alarms. Avoid looking directly at the laser beam for too long, even when protective measures are in place.


Once laser marking is complete, carefully open the door and remove the personalized leather card holder. Clean the surface gently if needed, then assemble or use it as a daily accessory.
