Testimony of Christian Vautrain – Winemaker
The first LaserKube for Marcel Vautrain Champagnes
Maison Vautrain is an estate that was founded in the early 1900s. The MARCEL VAUTRAIN Champagne vineyard covers 3 hectares. The parcels are all located close to the estate in the villages of Hautvillers, Dizy, Aÿ and Champillon, all of which are classified Premier Cru or Grand Cru.
Personalization
Marking capsules
For several years now, Maison Vautrain has been personalizing the capsules on its bottles, thanks to the collaboration of several comic strip artists. These screen-printed capsules are a big hit with plaquomusophiles, which is why we create limited series that require laser numbering.
The meeting
The need for autonomy
“Until now, it was an external service provider who engraved the limited series numbers on the back of the capsules. Wishing to integrate this skill, we contacted the Coopérative du Syndicat Général des Vignerons (CSGV), who recommended NWS Laser.”
“This way, we would be autonomous and responsive without depending on an outside service that could require 3 weeks lead time. NWS Laser offered us the LaserKube-X, a laser marking and engraving machine that met our needs perfectly.” — Marcel Vautrain
Easy and practical
LaserKube-X, for easy laser marking
LaserKube-X is small, easy to use and inexpensive. It’s the size of a desktop PC, and easily transportable.
“It took just a few hours of training from NWS Laser to get the hang of it. What’s more, they designed posages adapted to our capsules.”
“It’s very easy, just open the LaserKube drawer, place the capsules, close the drawer and start engraving. We can engrave 5 pieces at a time in a matter of seconds.”
“Laser technology enables us not only to engrave serial numbers, but also, if we wish, logos and even QR Codes for traceability.” — Marcel Vautrain
Champagne!
An economical, well-designed laser marking machine
Our LaserKubes are economical: a service provider charges between 0.20cts and 0.30cts to engrave a cap, with a lead time of 15/20 days. “Given the quantities produced in our company (20,000 per year), the machine quickly pays for itself.”
“What’s more, we’re not dependent on an outside supplier, nor on delivery times. We engrave our capsules whenever we want, according to our availability and, above all, our needs. So we can be flexible and reactive, for example, engraving just one piece if necessary, at any time of day.”
