About the studio
A cutter, a laser, and whatever you send us.
Tanya's Laser is a small cutting and engraving studio. Send us an idea, a sketch, a photo reference — or a ready file if you've got one, SVG, DXF, AI, whatever your software exports — and we'll turn it into signage, packaging prototypes, awards and one-off pieces in wood, acrylic, metal and leather. No template library to fit into: describe it and we'll work out how to cut it.

Why Tanya's Laser
Small enough to remember your name.
We're not a factory queue or a franchise — Tanya's Laser is one small studio, run by people who know the machine and the customers who use it. Here's what that actually means for you.
Loyal To Our Customers
Need the exact same order again, or a small tweak to something we made you two years ago? We keep your file and settings on record, so repeat orders are exact — not a re-explain-everything-from-scratch.
Local Delivery
Close enough to the studio and we'll personally drop your order off — no courier, no risk of it arriving broken. Further out, we pack it properly and ship instead.
What we cut
Four ways to get from idea to object.
Laser Cutting
Clean, repeatable cuts through wood, acrylic, leather and thin metal. Describe the shape or send a file — either way, you get exact parts back.
Engraving
Photos, logos, text and line art etched into the surface — depth and shading controlled to the pass.
Custom Signage
Interior and event signage, nameplates and wayfinding, cut and finished to hang or stand on its own.
Prototyping & Small Batches
One test part or fifty identical ones — same file, same settings, same result every time.
Gift ideas
Something for every date on the calendar.
Not sure what to ask for? Here's what people usually order for birthdays and the big occasions through the year.
Birthday Ideas
Birthday Name Signs
A name, a favourite character, a favourite colour — cut and painted into a sign that's theirs to keep long after the party's over.
Milestone Numbers
Turning 1, 21, 40 or 80 — freestanding cut numbers in any size, colour or finish for the table or the photo wall.
Party Table Displays
