Now Available: Brown Kraft Cardstock Paper<\/h3>\n

This single layer cardstock has a thickness of 0.3mm and weight of 204gsm. Its smooth matte finish on the top surface and satin finish on the bottom laser engraves<\/a> well, but line engraving is recommended over area engraving. Dense area engraving will leave a brown residue around the engraved area.<\/p>\n

Maker Tip:<\/strong> If your design contains lots of little cut outs, get the most out of your cutting time and materials by using these tiny pieces as confetti. Since small parts can be lost in the laser cutting process, tab them in if you need them. Tabbing leaves a gap in the cutting line so that the small part stays attached to the sheet of material. Once the entire piece is laser cut, use a utility knife to hand cut the tab (so be sure to make the tab quite small).<\/p>\n
