These classic boards\nhave a fine-quality surface paper that is highly fade- and bleed-resistant. The\ncream-colored core is made of unprinted, reclaimed wood pulp fibers and, along\nwith the backing paper, is buffered and acid-free. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The creamy center makes for beautiful engraving; the contrast\nachieved lends itself not only to typographic and logo elements but also to\ndecorative arts. It\u2019s terrific for model making because of its firm structure\nthat still has a bit of give, allowing for a better friction fit on slotted\npieces than plastic, for example. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since it\u2019s 100% recyclable, mat board is an appealing material for eco-conscious makers. (You can still get great contrast like with two-color acrylic without it being plastic.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;And with three new colors debuting in the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ponoko.com\/make-and-sell\/materials\/ponoko-new-zealand\" target=\"_blank\">NZ catalog<\/a> and two colors added to the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ponoko.com\/make-and-sell\/materials\/ponoko-united-states\" target=\"_blank\">USA catalog<\/a>, there\u2019s a rainbow of opportunity for your next <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ponoko.com\/laser-cutting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">laser cutter<\/a> project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Green, Grey &amp; Red Mat Board For NZ<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The level of detail that can be achieved when engraving mat board is truly remarkable. The holiday design above could be used not only as a 4\u201d x 6\u201d mailer for companies that want to send something more substantial than a traditional greeting card but also as a large poster for those who are <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"designing a product to sell (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ponoko.com\/blog\/business-tips\/create-a-product-to-sell\/\" target=\"_blank\">designing a product to sell<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mat board is also excellent for creating miniature to-scale models of just about anything\u2014from tables and chairs to full-blown architectural buildings. By using an affordable material such as mat board, it\u2019s easy to verify that product design features are accurate before committing to larger cuts and more robust materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ponoko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Mat-Board-3-NZ-Green-Model.jpg\" alt=\"Board 3 - NZ Green Model\" class=\"wp-image-66610\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ponoko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Mat-Board-3-NZ-Green-Model.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.ponoko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Mat-Board-3-NZ-Green-Model-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.ponoko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Mat-Board-3-NZ-Green-Model-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ponoko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Mat-Board-3-NZ-Green-Model-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Hosting a tradeshow, education summit, sales meeting or\nnetworking event?
