Design notes

Smooth matt cardboard finish.  Engraves well, but raster engraving will leave a brown residue around the engraved area.  This can be removed with low tack masking tape.  To determine the optimum engraving depth for your design, we suggest prototyping or purchasing a sample of this material from out sample store. Small light pieces can shift or get sucked into extraction during cutting, so provisions need to be made for this at the design stage.

By default the card is cut with special low tack protective tape on the underside of the material. The tape protects the material from heat flares and will not damage the card when removed carefully. To further mininise scorching, the top surface can be masked on request if no/heavy engraving is used. Anything other than heavy engraving does not adequately etch through the paper. Read more about optimising engraving with masking in this blog post.

NOTE: the samples in the sample store are all cut with no paper on top.
