Introduction

Laser marking on a PET pill box helps make daily routines clearer and easier to manage.


With clean and precise laser marking, you can add labels such as “Morning,” “Noon,” and “Night” that stay clear over time. This makes the pill box easier to read, more organized, and more reassuring for daily use.


In this tutorial, you will learn how to position the PET pill box, import the marking file, set the correct focus, frame the design, and complete a personalized pill box with Aurora Fiber.

Operational Process

STEP01

Prepare & Position the PET Pill Box

Place the PET pill box on the laser bed with the marking surface facing upward.


Since the pill box has a flat surface, it is well suited for laser marking. Make sure it is clean, level, and stable before processing.

Import & Adjust the Marking File

Load your design into LightBurn software, then adjust the size and position to fit the PET pill box.


Check the labels, layout, and marking position carefully. Then confirm that the laser marking parameters are set correctly before starting.

Set the Correct Laser Focus

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


You can use auto focus or manual focus. When two red dots are visible on the pill box 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 PET pill box.


If the frame is not aligned, adjust the design position until it fits correctly. After checking, close the laser door and begin the Aurora Fiber 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 PET pill box. Clean it gently if needed, then it is ready for daily use at home or on the go.
