Unlocking a New Chapter in Industrial-Grade Lasers and Creative Advertising
Tyvok has announced a strategic partnership with a major player in China’s signage industry. While specific details remain confidential for business reasons, we can confirm that the cooperation is already underway and is expected to involve the deployment of more than 1,000 units of the Tyvok K1 Series CO₂ laser machines over the next phase. This marks not only a validation of the K1 Series’ product strength but also an acceleration of laser technology adoption in the signage sector.
The Signage Industry: Acrylic at the Core of Growth
Signage—particularly illuminated letters, lightbox signage, and decorative lettering—is one of the most dynamic segments of China’s advertising industry. According to the China Advertising Industry Development Report, the signage and display market has maintained an annual growth rate of 8–10% over the past five years, with transparent and colored acrylic as the dominant materials. These are widely used across shopping malls, exhibitions, storefronts, and even landmark buildings.
Traditionally, signage production has relied on CNC milling and 3D printing for shaping, followed by manual polishing and assembly. While well-established, this process faces challenges in terms of efficiency, cutting precision, and seamless large-format splicing. With rising demand for higher quality and faster turnaround, the industry is eager for more advanced solutions.
Tyvok K1 Series: Redefining the CO₂ Laser Platform
Compared with traditional CO₂ laser systems, the Tyvok K1 Series brings breakthroughs in modularity, industrial performance, and platform scalability:
-
Modular Design: Machines can be disassembled for easy transport through standard doors and staircases, eliminating the need for costly and risky crane installations.
-
Industrial-Grade Power: Equipped with a 100W Yongli laser tube, the K1 cuts through acrylic in a single pass, leaving smooth, polished edges without secondary finishing.
-
Large Working Area: Up to 1200 × 2000 mm, enabling seamless production of large signage boards and exhibition backdrops.
-
Multi-Material Compatibility: Supports clear and colored acrylic, wood, leather, and glass—covering applications from signage to custom gifts and décor.
-
Robust Software Ecosystem: Fully compatible with LightBurn, RDWorks, and Tyvok Studio, ensuring accessibility for both professional manufacturers and small businesses.
These advantages have quickly earned the K1 Series a strong reputation in the signage industry as the preferred alternative to conventional machines.
Scale of Cooperation and Future Outlook
The cooperation is already being rolled out. Over the next 12–18 months, more than 1,000 units of Tyvok K1 Series machines will be deployed across signage factories, production hubs, and regional service networks.
Beyond equipment deployment, the partnership also aims to build a broader ecosystem—covering local laser tube maintenance, modular upgrades, industry training, and secondary processing services—helping businesses move from “purchasing equipment” to “building a scalable platform.”
An Invitation to Global Partners
This collaboration is more than a milestone for the signage industry—it sets a benchmark for global markets. Tyvok invites partners worldwide to join hands in shaping the future of laser applications, including:
-
Signage and lettering manufacturers
-
Etsy and other e-commerce sellers
-
Small studios and custom gift businesses
-
Regional service providers and maintenance teams
Looking ahead, Tyvok will continue to expand the global footprint of modular CO₂ laser platforms, making industrial-grade laser power accessible across industries and enabling creators to achieve more with Industrial Power + Maker-Friendly Experience.
Grounded in reality. Built for the future.
The Tyvok K1 Series will keep advancing hand in hand with partners, driving new possibilities in signage, creativity, and beyond.
