Place the flannel ring box flat on the laser bed with the engraving area facing up. Make sure the box is stable and won’t move during engraving. If needed, use a soft fixture to gently hold it in place without compressing the fabric.

Open your laser software (such as LaserMaker or LightBurn) and import your engraving design. Adjust the size and position so it fits naturally on the lid of the ring box. Keep the design simple and well-spaced for best results on soft materials.

Auto-focus the laser. Proper focus helps achieve clean, consistent marks.

Use the border or frame function to preview the engraving area. This helps confirm that the design is correctly aligned on each box before engraving begins.

Start the engraving and closely monitor the process. Watch for even marking and make sure the laser interaction remains gentle to preserve the texture of the flannel surface.

Once engraving is finished, carefully remove the ring box from the laser bed. Lightly brush or wipe away any residue, and your custom flannel ring box is ready to use or gift.
