Custom Wedding Coasters: Clear Acrylic
Custom wedding coasters are something CNCROi.com has made a lot of in acrylic, wood and even metal.
The nice thing about acrylic is that it’s available in an endless variety of colors and transparencies, so if you wanted green custom wedding coasters with gold flake, CNCROi.com can make that for you, but knowing your budget and how many ahead of time really helps to sharpen the options available.
Custom wedding coasters can be personalized with any font size and type, additionally, imagery that’s vector based like my name badge above come out nice and sharp.
For this custom wedding coaster customer, they wanted something clear looking like glass, so going with acrylic was the best option, it’s a lot safer as it won’t break like glass and the engraving is nice and sharp using their design.
Want some custom wooden coasters instead? These were made from reclaimed wood but it can be live edge or any wood species you want.
The one thing you need to keep in mind is that if these coasters will be handled a lot, paint filling isn’t a very good option because it will come off, there is only temporary adhesion to plastic as it will crack and peel off over time.
This is why for these custom wedding coasters, we went with laser engraving them, it’s a permanent process produced by our industrial Austrian wide-format CNC laser.
Other ideas for wedding coasters include polycarbonate and Pine, CNCROi.com can easily mix and match whatever coaster combinations you want across literally any material type.
As for production quantities, there really are no limits, whether you want 10 for a small gathering or thousands for a mega wedding, any volume (given enough time) is possible at CNCROi.com when it comes to custom wedding coasters.
Acrylic is a pretty durable material, we’ve made custom coasters out of acrylic years ago and they still function and look pretty new even if they are left outside over the seasons.
As for resolution and detail, the options can be pretty spectacular, though the more engraving there is the more machine and costs involved with production, which is why knowing a budget and volume help us narrow down the options for you.
The nice thing about having such a big laser at CNCROi.com is that we can literally feed sheets of material into it to be CNC laser engraved and cut.
The process is on-demand, though in this case, all the custom wedding coasters had the same information engraved onto them before being cut, it could have been personalized with each guest’s name and other information just as easily.
CNC laser cutting acrylic is like slicing though gas, there is fire and flames but this produces a very nice flame polish on the edges and a very solid-looking engraving as well on the custom wedding coasters.
There are lots of different acrylic types, here’s one I made a few years back and they are still in use today, smoky acrylic is really nice.
When it comes to design options for the custom wedding coasters, literally anything goes, not only engraving wise but also cut wise, meaning if you wanted these in the shape of a circle, triangle or a hat or anything else, that’s no problem for CNCROi.com!
Laser engraving is a relatively quick process, so batching out these custom wedding coasters is a very efficient fabrication method, which is why literally any volume goes along with customization and personalization not being that much more work.
When it comes to custom metal wedding coasters, CNCROi.com can produce those for you as well!
After the laser engraving process is done, the cutting of the custom wedding coasters is performed, this way each coaster is precisely engraved, meaning the position is the same across all of them, because they were part of a larger sheet until the very end.
The results do have some acrylic vaporized residue but most of that is easily cleaned off in a secondary process, revealing a really nice glass looking custom wedding coasters.
Corian also makes for wonderful coaster material, solid materials or softer ones, we have the equipment and capabilities to make unique wonderful coasters just for your special event.
Here’s a stack of the custom wedding coasters all ready to be sent to the customer, the reason for the green on the coasters above is due to the protective masking covering them, this protects them from scratches during production at CNCROi.com.
It’s really hard for the camera to properly focus on clear acrylic, so this gives you an idea of the results but this does change depending on the lighting.
Depending on the angle, it almost looks optically clear or full of reflection, hence each one of these custom wedding coasters might be the same but the effect is unique to each one depending on light distribution in the room these will be found in.
