Custom Medicinal Coasters

Custom medicinal coasters an be made at CNCROi.com using any wood species within any design spec you can come up with, in addition to any materials you may want, stainless steel to plastic.

For this specific project, CNCROi.com was simply branding small pieces of poplar with a leaf so it was a very straight forward process of feeding the material in, laser engraving it and then taking it out.

You’ll notice that I did have one of the custom medicinal coasters branded already, that’s because it was my test piece to narrow down my settings to this specific poplar run, once I achieved what I wanted, then it was time to just do the same process on all the other blanks.

Wooden coins are popular with our customers, each one is unique due to the grain of the wood and as they are relatively rare, limited only to the production run at hand, hold a lot of value to the person receiving them.

Although this isn’t a very efficient branding method on these custom medicinal coasters, it was less work, you see, the more the head of the laser travels doing “nothing”, the more time I waste.

Alternatively, doing one at a time would mean the laser engraving only happens where the medicinal leaf needs to be engraved into the poplar, so it’s a lot faster but not as interesting to do a video about.

For large production runs at CNCROi.com, further path and engraving optimizations can be made but as this was a relatively small production run, it was easier to just do it as you see them and call it a night.

We make what you want using the material of your choice, whether you want large wooden plaques or small custom coins, we make them all.

When it comes to the personalization options available to you by CNCROi.com, they are endless, these coasters could have not only been any material but also any shape, so if you wanted the outline of the leaf to be follow the coaster, it’s no problem.

CNCROi.com has extensive woodworking capabilities, CNC through power and even manual tools so we can also do multi-layered or trays with holes or pockets as well.

When it comes to making custom coasters, any variation of fonts, imagery (as long as it’s vector based) and finishing such as veneers are totally up to you.

CNCROi.com has experience making a lot of woodworking projects, having these capabilities and equipment allows us to offer a whole host of customization, even on smaller production runs or using exotic materials.

When it comes to volume, you can have as few or as many custom medicinal coasters as you wish and they can all be the same or different from one another.

Custom medicinal coasters can be laser engraved at multiple depths, if you wanted for instance, that the image was engraved deeper than the naming or website you wanted on it, CNCROi.com can do that.

These custom medicinal coasters don’t need a lot of sanding after the production run because the engraving was lightly done, the smoke is quickly evacuated from the machine and compressed air is shooting down on the engraving as well, producing a clean result.

Just to give you an idea, CNCROi.com can make custom trays and coasters using metal just as easily as wood.

When it comes to designing your own custom medicinal coasters, you don’t need to be a master designer, you can just tell you what you want and we can help you get the perfect coaster for your needs.

As this production run of custom medicinal coasters comes to an end, you can see that each one is identical as this is what the customer wanted.

But if you wanted each custom tray or coaster to be different or a mix and match of different imagery and specs, CNCROi.com can produce that for you just as easily.

Having tools to take projects from start to finish allows CNCROi.com to offer our customers endless production opportunities for a wide variety of projects.

The color of the engraving is always a darker version of the wood, that’s because we are using heat to generate charcoal.

Because the engraving is charcoal when it comes to wood, the branding on the custom medicinal coasters will never peel, crack or fade over time and of course, as it’s wood, you can also sand it after a few years and restain or finish it for a fresh new look.

The bright white light you see is the instant vaporization of the poplar wood under the intense heat of the laser, that’s when the branding is done, when the charcoal is produced and when the wonderful smell that permeates through the shop is created.

This small custom production run of custom medicinal coasters is now complete, you can see a very slight amount of smoke along the edges of the leaf but some customers like this, others don’t… if you don’t, this can be easily sanded by CNCROi.com and further finished or shipped as/is for your own finishing.

From live edge to dimensional lumber, CNCROi.com can make whatever tray or coaster you want.

We take projects as far as you want, if you want to further personalize what we make in your own woodshop, that’s not a problem at all, we are woodworkers too and totally get it.

Here’s a close-up of one of the custom medicinal coasters branding, you can see the grain follows even in the engraving, this can then be easily finished or paint filled or left as/is.

Every aspect of this production run could be customized however you want, material, species through to branding and personalization.
