The laser engraving process is capable of cutting quite fine or fragile materials with almost zero darkening or burning of the edges (although this takes some experimenting). High quality customised shapes can be used to create original invitation cards for special occasions, such as weddings. The following three images show New Dimension PhotoCraft's "Opening Hearts" design.

The design features a metallic gold and silver card that contains invitation information inside, and still stands upright in a semi-open position like regular cards. The product can be purchased for $6.60 each with a mimimum order of 50, including printing. Text can be added on the front cover if required also. This can be ordered, as well as altered, or you can have a completely original card designed for your special occasion. You may also only require the material cut for you to assemble yourself, which will be cost less.

The same design can be provided in different colours, although as limited by the range of card stock available for purchase.

The following example shows the wide range of shapes that can be used while still standing upright in card-form. The following is a quite basic example of a "cocktail" glass design for that type of occasion.
