Lot of our customers who order round ones use a Forstner bit to put in an impression just the depth the same as the thickness of the veneer, so when the decal is applied, it is flush with the surface of the item. The veneer is 10 mil and the white birch lasers the best--but it's available in red oak, white birch, mahogany, white oak, cherry, walnut, ash, maple, knotty pine, pecan. If you're interested, PM me.
I've used that trick for a few pieces that are too tall to fit in the laser. But I use thin (1/32") BB plywood and glue it in: I just can't seem to get a good enough contrast with the PSA veneer without burning through, while the plywood goes almost black when the laser gets to the glue under the top layer.
