We were approached by Billabong to come up with a Trophy idea for thier upcoming internal staff “Gordie Awards’ The awards aknowledge individuals success throughout the Billabong brands.
So the final concept we came up with was a recycled timber block, sliced on an angle with a raised frosted printed plexi-glass plaque sitting on the face. We then laser etched the winners name and category on the front of the timber block. The recycled australian hardwood timber came from old an farm tank stand that had been lying in a paddock in northern new south wales for years. Once our joiner Rex trimmed it down and treated the wood, it revealed the stunning grain and amazing weathered exterior. We were very happy with the finished product and so were the winners!
We recently Laser Etched a whole bunch of Anodised Aluminium Drink Bottles for the guys over at Triple 8 Race Engineering.
Here are some images of the final product.
One of our first jobs on our New Laser Machine was for The Tara Beach Resort in Vanuatu.
We designed and produced the Key Tags for all of their rooms. We laser cut and etched the tags from Fijian Ply with a marine grade varnish over the top.
The Tir Na Nog’ Laser Etched Sign is for the Resort Owners House on the Island. Tir Na Nog’ is an old celtic saying meaning “Land of the Young”. The sign was made from Meranti wood with a Marine Grade varnish.

Happy New Year!!!! After a great 2011, we have hit the ground running in 2012. Already starting to get busy.
Here is a huge job we finished last year.
We had to make thousands of these Laser Cut and Laser Etched Note Pad Boxes for Gunnersens, who are Australia’s largest privately owned Timber and Wood-Based Panel supply company. They were used for their corporate christmas gifts.
We came up with all of the concepts through to final designs for the boxes. Gunnersens supplied the veneered MDF, of course, we then Laser Cut and Etched them, then had to put them all together by hand.
Big job, but the final product was great and the client was stoked!
Here are some more Laser Cut Christmas Cards, this time they are for Village Roadshow Theme Parks.
It is a great design, very intricate and detailed. Love the way that the presents flying out of Santa’s sleigh line up using both layers.
Merry Christmas everyone…. We will see you in the New Year!
Here are some christmas cards we did for the Department of Education.
Printed on a metalic stock and then Laser Cut Snowfakes for some extra detail. Great idea for that point of difference.
Contact us if you would like to do something special for your christmas gifts this year!
A little while ago we did some Wedding invites for a client, and they also asked for some Laser Cut CD Covers.
So we cut them from the same stock we printed the cards on, Curious Metalics and here is the final product….
We do a bit of Point of Sale Promo stuff for the guys over at Movie World, but recently they wanted to do something a bit different.
So here it is, a 2 layered Laser Cut 3D Point of Purchase Standee. Quite a simple concept, with a really effective and eye catching result!
We also produced some Laser Cut Standees for Sea World Cruises.

Here is a shot of the latest Laser Etched Skateboard Trophy we did for the Billabong City Squared Asia, Skateboarding Competition, which was held in Singapore on the 27th & 28th of August.
Congratulations to local skater Firdaus Rahman who won the event, taking home $10,000.
We here at Potato Press feel very privileged to have produced the very first Andy Irons Forever Award for the 2011 Billabong Pro in Teahupo’o Tahiti.
We were involved from the design and concept stage all the way through to completion.
It was made from a combination of Laser Etched and Cut Red Cedar, A Grade Ply and Brushed Aluminum Acrylic.
All the pieces were layered on top of each other to give the trophy depth and texture.
A huge congratulations goes to Jeremy Flores from France who was awarded the trophy for the most committed surfer of the whole event.
Flores surfed unbelievably well throughout the whole comp and even scored a perfect heat, getting two 10 point rides.
Check out the clip below of Bruce Irons presenting the Trophy to Jeremy Flores. Check out full coverage of the event over HERE…
