Had to gift wrap a commission of multiple plaques. Since each one is personalized I needed a way to tag each one with the person’s name.
Created a tag shape with half circle interior corners to allow a printed tag to be inserted. Last cut the tag body from some card stock I had on hand and then printed the text on regular printer paper that I then manual cut out.
Turned out pretty nice. Some nicer and heavier weight printing paper might look just a bit better, but that’s for another time.
Great idea and implementation! Looking at the finished tag, a thought went through my head: could you put down the white paper and laser cut the the text(outline font) so that the color of the tag becomes the color of the text. Just thinking it might all be doable with the same jig, on the same machine and in the same software.
I’ve made wooden engraved tags which we reuse but I will try this method this year too.
