Material pages

Choose the exact material before quoting.

Each material page explains the best-fit process, file setup, instant pricing fit and when the job should be reviewed by the team.

That keeps broad boards enquiries from becoming vague production guesses.

Materials and production fit

Match the material group to the process.

The right workflow depends on material behaviour, thickness, finish, registration, tolerance and whether the file is already production-ready.

Board stock

Board cutting depends on stock type, thickness, grain, print registration and whether crease lines are required.

  • Stock type
  • Thickness
  • Grain or flute direction
  • Printed face

Process fit

Digital knife cutting is usually the main workflow, with CO2 laser or router considered only where suitable.

  • Digital knife cutting
  • Crease and score lines
  • Kiss-cut where suitable
  • Registration marks

File setup

Cut, crease, score and print layers should be separated so production does not guess the intended operation.

  • Cut layer
  • Crease layer
  • Score layer
  • Artwork reference

Why trade buyers use us

Material selection support for repeat B2B work.

Category pages help buyers narrow the material first, then send cut-ready files or request review with the right production context.

Choose the exact material

Choose the exact material

Each material behaves differently, so the category page routes buyers toward the right detail page before quoting.

Process matching

Technical guidance

What matters before production starts.

Pick the closest material first

Start with the specific material page rather than a broad category so the quote path, process and limitations are clearer.

Prepare real cutting files

DXF, DWG and vector PDF files should contain real cut paths at correct scale. Screenshots, scans and photos need drawing work first.

Separate operations

Cut, engrave, drill, crease, score, fold and print-registration information should be separated so production can interpret the job correctly.

Use review for uncertainty

If the material is supplied, finish-critical, printed, layered, flexible, tolerance-sensitive or unclear, send it for review before production.

Common questions

Answers before production starts.

Can boards jobs be priced instantly?

Suitable cutting-only jobs can use instant pricing when the file has real vector cut lines and the material, thickness and quantity are clear.

Which process is best for boards?

It depends on the exact sheet, thickness and finish. Common options for this group include Digital knife, CO2 laser, CNC router.

What files should I upload?

For cutting, upload DXF, DWG or vector PDF files with real cut paths. A screenshot, photo or JPEG saved as a PDF is not a cutting file.

Material-ready files

Quote boards jobs from real cutting files.

Upload DXF, DWG or vector PDF files with actual cut paths, or send complex jobs through reviewed quoting.
