Photo mounting board

3 variants, thicknesses: 0.3 mm. Cut on the P1–P3 formats, price shown live while you design.

Laser cutting
Vector engraving
Raster engraving

Cutting vaporizes a little material — this cutting gap is called

kerf

The laser vaporizes material — the cutting gap varies with material and thickness. Cuts run centered on the drawn line; for shape.tools products we factor the kerf into your dimensions automatically.More in the glossary →

and depends on material and thickness. For shape.tools products we factor it into your dimensions automatically; for your own files the laser cuts centered on your line.

Delivery comes on the

P1–P3 sheet formats

Our three sheet formats: P1 = 181 × 181 mm, P2 = 384 × 384 mm, P3 = 790 × 384 mm. Your design has to fit on one of the sheets. For scale: a vinyl record cover sits between P1 and P2.More in the glossary →

raster engraving

The laser fills an area line by line — like a printer. Ideal for logos and larger motifs. In your file: black filled areas, RGB(0, 0, 0).More in the glossary →

and

vector engraving

The laser traces a line and engraves it into the material — precise, ideal for fine contours. In your file: red hairlines, RGB(255, 0, 0).More in the glossary →

Good to know

Description

This pH-neutral, acid-free photo mounting board is dyed through — it does not bleed and is relatively lightfast. It is made from 100% de-inked recycled paper (pre-consumer) and dyed in an eco-friendly process; almost every colour carries the German "Blue Angel" ecolabel.

Typical uses: model making, decorations, craft and folding work, photo backdrops, photo albums.

Good to know

Combining raster and vector engraving is not recommended on this material — there is a real risk of perforating the board.

Bridges

For this material we generally recommend small bridges: interrupt the cut contour by at least 0.5–0.8 mm. For parts under 15 × 15 mm and filigree elements, bridges are essential — all parts stay safely in the sheet until they reach you.
