Paper based materials are made by pressing moist cellulose fibers together to form sheets, and then drying the sheets. The most common source for the cellulose fibers used to make paper based materials is wood pulp. However flax, hemp, and cotton are also used. All types of paper based materials can be processed by laser cutting, engraving, and marking.

Types of Laser Processes
Lasers are playing an ever expanding role in material processing, from new product development to high volume manufacturing. For all laser processes, the energy of a laser beam interacts with a material to transform it in some way. Each transformation (or laser process) is controlled by precisely regulating the wavelength, power, duty cycle and repetition rate of the laser beam. These laser processes include the following:
Laser Annealing
Laser Cutting
Laser Drilling
Laser Engraving
Laser Etching
Laser Machining
Laser Marking
Laser Micromachining
Laser Perforating
Laser Photo Engraving
Laser Photo Marking
Laser Scoring
Laser Sintering
Laser Surface Modification
Selective Laser Ablation
All materials have unique characteristics that dictate how the laser beam interacts and consequently modifies the material. The most common processes for paper based materials are the following:
