Ezlaser Malaysia recently completed the delivery, installation and hands-on training of a LaserPecker 4 (LP4) at Elarab Perfume in Melaka.

The machine was selected to help Elarab add premium personalisation services to its perfume products, including customer names, initials, dates, short messages and logos.

With laser engraving, an ordinary perfume bottle can be transformed into a personalised gift for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, corporate events and festive occasions.

Project Overview

Customer: Elarab Perfume
Location: Melaka, Malaysia
Machine: LaserPecker 4
Application: Personalised perfume bottles and gift products
Training Provided: Machine setup, design preparation, focusing, material testing, engraving and basic maintenance

Customer’s Objective

Elarab Perfume wanted to expand its product offering by providing personalised engraving directly on perfume bottles and related packaging.

The main requirements were:

A compact machine suitable for a retail or workshop environment
The ability to engrave different perfume bottle materials
Fast personalisation for individual customer orders
Simple design preparation for names, logos and messages
Professional installation and practical operator training
Local technical and after-sales support

Why LaserPecker 4 Was Selected

The LaserPecker 4 is a compact dual-laser engraving machine equipped with:

10W 450 nm blue diode laser
2W 1064 nm infrared laser
Maximum engraving speed of up to 4,000 mm/s
Support for LaserPecker Design Space on mobile devices and computers

The two laser sources are used separately according to the material being engraved. This allows the LP4 to handle a broader range of products than a single-laser machine. (LaserPecker Support Center)

For Elarab Perfume, the LP4 can support personalisation on items such as:

Glass perfume bottles
Coated perfume bottles
Metal bottle caps
Selected plastic caps
Gift boxes
Leather products
Tumblers
Name tags
Promotional gifts

Material compatibility varies according to the bottle coating, colour and composition. A test engraving should always be completed before processing the final customer product.

How to Engrave a Perfume Bottle with LaserPecker 4

The following workflow can be used as a general guide for engraving perfume bottles with the LP4.

Step 1: Identify the Bottle Material

Before engraving, check which part of the perfume bottle will be personalised.

Common surfaces include:

Bottle Part	Typical Material	Suggested LP4 Laser
Glass bottle	Clear, coloured or coated glass	450 nm blue laser
Painted or coated bottle	Coated glass or metal	Test both based on coating
Metal cap	Stainless steel, aluminium or coated metal	1064 nm infrared laser
Plastic cap	Different plastic compositions	Test carefully before engraving
Gift box	Paper, cardboard, wood or leather	450 nm blue laser

Do not assume that every bottle will react in the same way. Bottles from different manufacturers may have different coatings and glass compositions.

Avoid engraving unknown plastics unless the material has been confirmed as laser-safe.

Step 2: Empty or Secure the Perfume Bottle

For training and testing, it is preferable to use:

An empty sample bottle
A rejected bottle
A spare cap
A test piece with the same surface finish

If the bottle contains perfume, keep the cap closed and ensure there is no leakage around the engraving area.

Perfume is flammable, so the machine must be used in a well-ventilated area and kept away from exposed flames, sparks and excessive heat.

Step 3: Clean the Engraving Area

Clean the surface thoroughly before engraving.

Remove:

Dust
Fingerprints
Oil
Adhesive residue
Cosmetic product residue

A clean surface helps produce a more even engraving result. For glass, the official LaserPecker guide recommends cleaning the bottle before positioning it for engraving. (LaserPecker US Official)

Allow the surface to dry completely before starting.

Step 4: Prepare the Design

Open LaserPecker Design Space on a computer or mobile device.

Create or import the required design, such as:

Customer name
Initials
Company logo
Wedding date
Anniversary message
Short quotation
Decorative pattern

For perfume bottles, simple designs normally produce the most elegant result.

Recommended design practices:

Use clear and readable fonts
Avoid extremely thin lines
Keep the message short
Measure the available engraving area
Convert logos into clean black-and-white artwork
Use vector files when possible

Before engraving, check the spelling, date and customer name carefully.

Step 5: Position and Stabilise the Bottle

Place the bottle securely beneath the LP4 laser head.

A perfume bottle must not move during engraving. Movement can cause:

Double lines
Misalignment
Blurred text
Uneven engraving

Flat perfume bottles can normally be supported using a jig, fixture or stable platform.

For repeated orders, Ezlaser recommends producing a simple positioning jig. The jig helps each bottle remain in the same location, improving production speed and consistency.

For round or cylindrical bottles, a compatible rotary accessory may be required. LaserPecker also provides workflows for engraving curved glass products with the LP4. (LaserPecker Support Center)

Step 6: Set the Correct Focus

Correct focusing is important for sharp and consistent engraving.

For the LP4, LaserPecker recommends approximately 150 mm between the laser head and the material surface. The user can also adjust the height until the two red positioning dots overlap. (LaserPecker Support Center)

Focus on the actual surface being engraved, not the table underneath the bottle.

For bottles with curved surfaces, position the main engraving area as level as possible.

Step 7: Preview the Engraving Area

Activate the Preview function in LaserPecker Design Space.

Check that:

The design is centred
The text is straight
The engraving is not too close to the bottle edge
The design does not overlap an existing label
The logo fits within the flattest part of the bottle
The preview remains fully on the intended surface

Adjust the size, rotation and position before starting the engraving.

Never rely only on the software screen. Always inspect the physical preview on the bottle.

Step 8: Perform a Material Test

Before engraving the actual customer bottle, perform a small test on a sample with the same surface.

Test:

Laser source
Power
Depth
Resolution
Number of passes
Design size
Focus distance

LaserPecker states that recommended parameters are reference points and should be adjusted according to differences in material, thickness and the desired effect. (LaserPecker Support Center)

A material test helps prevent:

Cracked glass
Weak or invisible markings
Excessive chipping
Burnt coatings
Melted plastic
Damage to expensive perfume bottles

Suggested Starting Setting for Glass

LaserPecker’s official glass engraving guide provides the following LP4 reference setting:

Laser: 10W 450 nm blue laser
Resolution: 1K
Power: 100%
Depth: 30%
Passes: 1

This should only be treated as a starting point. Settings must be adjusted according to the type, thickness, colour and coating of the bottle. (LaserPecker Support Center)

For valuable or premium bottles, begin with a less aggressive test and gradually increase the engraving strength.

Step 9: Start the Engraving

Before pressing start, confirm that:

The bottle is stable
The correct laser source is selected
The design preview is correct
The machine is correctly focused
Ventilation is operating
The engraving area is clear
The operator is wearing suitable laser protection

Start the engraving and monitor the complete process.

Do not leave an operating laser engraving machine unattended.

Stop the machine immediately if:

The bottle moves
The glass begins cracking
The coating catches fire
Excessive smoke is produced
The engraving position is incorrect

Step 10: Clean and Inspect the Finished Bottle

After engraving, allow the bottle to cool before handling it.

Clean the engraved surface with:

A soft cloth
Glass cleaner
A small amount of isopropyl alcohol, when suitable for the surface

LaserPecker recommends cleaning residue from glass after engraving, with rubbing alcohol being suitable for many glass surfaces. (LaserPecker US Official)

Inspect the result for:

Readability
Engraving contrast
Correct alignment
Consistent depth
Surface damage
Spelling accuracy

Do not use harsh chemicals on painted, printed or coated perfume bottles without first testing them.

Tips for Better Perfume Bottle Engraving

Use a Positioning Jig

A custom jig keeps every bottle in the same position and is especially useful for bulk orders.

Keep Designs Simple

Names, initials and short messages normally look more premium than overly detailed artwork.

Test Each Bottle Model

Even bottles that look similar may use different glass, paint or coating.

Engrave the Flattest Area

The flatter the engraving area, the more consistent the focus and marking quality.

Save Successful Settings

Create a parameter record for each bottle model, including:

Bottle name
Material
Laser source
Power
Depth
Resolution
Passes
Focus height
Design size

This makes repeat orders faster and more consistent.
