Useful to know
The material is constructed from multiple layers of birch veneer and has a strong, almost flawless surface. This type is glued with external glue between the veneer layers.
Vector and raster engraving
Birch plywood can be both vector and raster engraved. The material gains a darker tone in the engraved areas. The deeper the engraving, the darker the colour.
Thick line and raster engraving may cause some discoloration around the engraved area, particularly with raster engraving. However, this can easily be removed by light sanding.
Avoiding burn marks
A protective film on top and /or bottom can be added when ordering to avoid the worst soot and burn marks from the laser. However, applying a film is not possible when raster engraving.
Direction of grain
If you have any specific preferences for the grain direction on the wood and your design, please let us know by making an arrow in your file that indicates to us which way we should turn the sheet. You can also inform us in the comments box when placing your order about any such preferences you may have.
Only possible with A format.
Laser cutting
Top – A slight darkening of the wood will appear along the score lines. This can be removed by applying film before cutting. This option can be added when you place your order. Remember to remove the film when you receive your cutting.
Edges– The edges look brownish and can rub off. This can be removed by lightly sanding. The thicker the material, the darker the edges.
Bottom – There will be some discoloration on the bottom after the cutting process. Usually it is a honeycomb pattern, depending on the material on which it has been cut. You can opt to add a protective film to your order, which will remove most of this. Remember to remove the film when you receive your cutting.
Finishing treatments
Birch plywood can be painted, oiled or varnished to protect the surface.
