Laser Cut Acrylic Strawberry Bag Tag

If you’re new to laser cutting acrylic, this bag tag project is a great way to start. It’s adorable and bag tags are always best sellers!

DIY Acrylic Bag Tag

Here at Ruffles and Rain Boots, I love buying acrylic. I will spend quite a lot of time scrolling through my favorite suppliers and building projects based solely on their offerings.

Today, I’m using a beautiful, pastel palette as inspiration. This strawberry bag tag is a perfect project for a laser cutting beginner and the file is already set up for you, so there’s no anxiety to work through.

How to Set Up and Create the Strawberry Bag Tag

For those who are brand new, please note: you should watch the short video above to learn how to set up the acrylic prior to cutting. If you are using glue instead of the 3M, you can skip that step below.

If you’re using an xTool device, open the provided XCS file in xTool Studio. The first canvas will show the prepared file; the second canvas will have the original SVG so you can make any changes.

If you’re using another brand laser, use the SVG included in the zipped download.

Select all items on the first canvas and size to your liking. My bag tag is 3 1/4 inches tall but you can make yours smaller or larger.

Set up the file so that all pieces are cut. Set parameters for acrylic (P2 settings I used with 3M backing are 85 power, 10 speed, 1 pass). 

Remove the paper masking on front and back of the acrylic. Apply 3M adhesive tape to the bone, pink, and part of the green acrylic (berry topper only). I measured the pieces in the software and then applied that amount to the acrylic.

Lay out all of the acrylic pieces into the machine and ensure they are level. I used a honeycomb and did not have to elevate at these settings, but if you have flashback with your machine, elevate the acrylic.

Auto measure the first piece of acrylic (I used pink). Take a close up camera image of that acrylic to ensure correct placement. Process the pink acrylic. 

Auto measure the second piece of acrylic (bone). Take a close up camera image and place. Process the acrylic. 

Finally, auto measure the green acrylic. Take a close up camera image and place the design. Process the acrylic. 

Remove all pieces and clean, if needed.

To assemble, I like to align the largest piece first (pink), press for a few seconds, and then add the other pieces on. Protect the acrylic and clamp, if desired.

Add the wire tag and your acrylic strawberry bag tag is ready for use or for sale.
