Foil laser cutting
Laser cutting of foil enables highly precise cuts of technical foils – clean, gentle on the material, and with the highest dimensional accuracy. Krückemeyer processes a wide range of foil types in single-layer or multi-layer systems.

We laser-cut films (i.e., adhesive film materials) in custom formats—from very fine to large-format. PVC-based film materials are excluded.

| Feature II | Internal laser perforations |
| Feature III | Laser cutting without damaging the backing material |
When laser cutting multi-layer laminated film materials, individual layers can be selectively processed separately. This enables the laser to realize kiss-cut-like cuts as well—i.e., defined depths, without fully separating all layers.

Häufige Fragen zum Folie lasern
With laser cutting of foils, technical or self-adhesive foils are precisely contoured using a focused laser beam — entirely without mechanical tools.
This method is especially suitable when:
- Complex or highly detailed geometries are required
- Frequent design changes occur
- Small production runs or variable quantities are produced
- Tooling costs should be avoided
- High precision is required for delicate details
Laser cutting offers maximum flexibility and enables rapid adjustments in the development process.
Depending on the material structure, different film types can be processed, e.g.:
- PET-, PP-, PE- (except PVC films)
- thin functional and insulating films
- self-adhesive-coated films
- protective and surface protection films
- selected laminate or composite materials
The suitability depends on material thickness, thermal resistance, and the desired cut quality.
Pricing is influenced by:
- Material type and thickness
- Contour progression and cut length
- Level of geometric detail
- Quantity
- Data preparation
- Desired delivery form
Since no punching tool is required, tooling costs are eliminated – for very high quantities, however, an alternative process may be more economical.
There is usually no fixed minimum quantity.
The laser process is especially suitable for prototypes, pre-production runs, or small series. For larger runs, it is assessed which production method is technically and economically most suitable.
For a quick quote, the following information is helpful:
- Vector file (e.g., DXF, AI, or PDF)
- Material specification or functional requirements
- Material thickness
- Quantity
- Preferred delivery form
- Information on the intended application
Accurate data speeds up quotation preparation and implementation.
Yes, samples and test parts can be produced quickly.
This enables rapid verification of fit, function, and process integration – ideal in the development and validation phase.
