Monport Laser’s New Year push gives small shops a clear window to plan 2026 laser purchases

Monport Laser opens a short, focused window for small businesses to plan laser gear buys

Monport Laser has rolled out a time-limited initiative aimed squarely at small businesses, workshops and makers who want to plan their laser-engraving and -cutting purchases for 2026. The program runs from Dec. 29 through Jan. 18 and pairs simple, tiered discounts with weekly highlighted machines and bundled supplies so buyers can lock in equipment and parts without juggling multiple vendors.

How the initiative works: dates, discount tiers and weekly offers

The promotion runs for three weeks, starting Dec. 29 and ending Jan. 18. Buyers receive automatic savings based on the size of their order, with three clear discount bands: 5% off orders between $1,000 and $4,999; 10% off orders between $5,000 and $9,999; and 15% off orders $10,000 and up. The discounts apply to eligible machines, accessories and supplies purchased during the window.

Each week Monport highlights a featured machine and a limited-time accessory package. The weekly schedule is:

• Week 1 (Dec. 29–Jan. 4): Compact desktop CO2 cutter for entry-level shops. The Week 1 bundle includes a honeycomb workbed, a basic exhaust fan kit, a 1-year consumables starter pack and a rotary adapter for cylindrical items.
• Week 2 (Jan. 5–Jan. 11): Mid-range fiber engraver aimed at small production runs. The Week 2 offer pairs the unit with an extra lens, a spare set of focus rails, a materials sampler pack and priority spare-parts shipping for the first year.
• Week 3 (Jan. 12–Jan. 18): High-power CO2 cutter for larger jobs and thicker materials. The Week 3 bundle includes an upgraded exhaust system, a larger honeycomb table, a maintenance kit, and a training voucher for basic workflow setup.

Beyond the weekly bundles, the promotion includes several limited-time add-ons: discounted rotary attachments while supplies last, a reduced-price installation service for local customers, and a materials discount for bulk orders of acrylic, wood, and masking film bought with a machine.

Why small businesses are increasingly buying laser engraving and cutting gear

Laser tools migrate more work in-house as small operators chase faster turnarounds and more customization. For makers and tiny manufacturers, owning laser machines means they can quickly add logos, cut custom shapes, or produce small batches without waiting on outside shops. That value shows up across a range of businesses: sign makers, jewellers and gift companies, packaging firms testing short runs, and product designers producing prototypes.

Two trends are especially important. First, customer demand for personalization makes short runs profitable; a laser lets shops produce unique or one-off pieces at a modest incremental cost. Second, improvements in machine safety, software and materials handling mean newcomers can get useful throughput without huge setup time. Programs like Monport’s aim to lower the hassle and upfront cost of taking that step.

Operational benefits and practical planning points for buyers

Laser equipment can deliver cleaner cuts, finer engraving detail and less physical tooling than traditional methods. That reduces waste on some projects and shortens setup time when switching jobs. Machines are also flexible: the same platform often handles cutting, engraving and marking across wood, acrylic, leather, and certain metals (with the right laser type).

Shops thinking about a purchase should map a few simple things before committing. Estimate the mix of material thicknesses and the likely job sizes to pick the right power and table size. Think through ventilation and workspace footprint — higher-power units need better exhaust and space for material handling. Factor in consumables and spare parts: lenses, belts and filters wear out and are easier to manage when bought with the machine. Finally, consider whether training or on-site installation makes sense for faster uptime; Monport’s bundles include some of these services in the weekly offers.

About Monport Laser and how to take part

Monport Laser positions itself as a supplier for small shops and makers, offering machines, parts and support geared to start-ups and light industrial users. The New Year initiative is limited to purchases placed between Dec. 29 and Jan. 18 and applies only to eligible models and bundled items while supplies last. Interested buyers should review the specific machine and bundle details during the week the machine is featured to secure the limited-time accessories.

To participate, buyers can contact Monport’s sales team to confirm machine eligibility, request a quote that reflects the proper discount band, and schedule installation or training where available. The program is designed as a short planning window for those who want to lock in equipment and supplies before the new year’s production calendar begins.
