Introduction

Laser marking on leather wallets brings timeless character to everyday essentials.


With clean and precise laser detailing, you can add initials, meaningful symbols, logos, or custom designs that reflect personal style. Whether you are crafting a gift, branding a product, or creating something uniquely yours, a custom leather wallet is both practical and memorable.


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

Operational Process

STEP01

Prepare & Position the Leather Wallet

Choose a flat leather wallet and place it on the laser bed.


Make sure the marking surface is clean, level, and stable. A flat leather surface helps the laser mark appear sharper and keeps the design from shifting during processing.

STEP02

Import & Adjust the Marking File

Load your design into LightBurn software, then adjust its size and position to fit the leather wallet.


Check that the design is centered on the wallet and confirm the laser marking parameters before starting. This helps prevent misalignment and ensures a clean, consistent result.

STEP03

Set the Correct Laser Focus

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


You can use auto focus or manual focus. When two red dots are visible on the wallet surface, it is out of focus. When the two light dots overlap each other, the surface is in focus.

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 wallet.


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 wallet. Gently clean the surface if any residue remains, and the wallet is ready to use, gift, or display.
