Carefully place the PU leather ring box on the laser machine’s work platform. Make sure the surface to be marked is flat and aligned with the machine’s axis for accurate results.

Tip: Use masking tape or a positioning jig if the box is small or tends to move. Even the slightest shift can ruin the alignment of your design.

Open your preferred laser software (e.g., LaserMaker or LightBurn) and import your design file (SVG, DXF, or image). Adjust the size, rotation, and position of the design to match the exact area you want to engrave on the box. Then make sure the laser marking parameters are set correctly.

Tip: Always double-check your design dimensions in the software to ensure they match the actual marking area. Use the “preview” or “frame” option to avoid accidental misplacement.

Focus is the key to success. Once focus is ignored, the results may not be satisfying. Before you start, make sure you have finished focusing.

With the Aurora Lite, you have two ways to achieve perfect focus. The first method uses the red-dot pointer to assist—simply adjust the laser head until the two red dots overlap, and you’re good to go. The second method, which is often more precise, is manual focusing with a focus stick. Adjust the height of the laser head until the focus stick just touches the surface of the PU leather in a perfectly vertical position.

For uneven surfaces, make sure the ring box is leveled before focusing, and whenever possible, use manual focus for better accuracy.

When we click the “Frame” , we can see red light show the outline of marking area. It’s safe, and the frame will be on the surface of the ring box. Once it isn’t, move your ring box or design until they are at the same position.

Once everything is adjusted, simply hit ‘Start’ to begin laser marking the ring box with the Aurora Lite.

Keeping an eye on the machine allows you to spot unusual conditions—such as error alarms, smoke build-up, or unexpected pauses—before they become problems.

While observing, remember that the laser beam is extremely powerful. Even with the protective lid closed, avoid staring directly at the marking spot for too long. A quick glance to check progress is fine, but prolonged gazing should be avoided for safety reasons.

Once the marking is complete, wait a few seconds before opening the machine lid to let any residual fumes dissipate. Carefully remove the PU leather ring box and inspect the marking. If there’s any surface residue or dust, gently wipe it off with a soft, dry cloth.

Now it’s your turn! Get ready with your PU leather ring box, fire up your Aurora Lite, and start creating your own personalized masterpiece. We’d love to see what you come up with—share your results and let’s inspire each other!
