Material sample chain for laser cutting

Do you need a material sample? Then order a sample chain. There are different selections; you'll find the samples you need by category or application. Below you will find which materials are included in each sample chain.

Why a sample chain?

A photo of a material simply isn't the same as seeing and feeling something in real life. With a physical sample, you can see how flexible, translucent, or glossy a material is; these are important characteristics for a design. Make informed design decisions, get inspiration, and compare from your own desk.

We have carefully curated our material assortment and are proud of the quality we deliver. Judge for yourself what you think of our material with a sample chain.

About the samples

The samples are 6 x 6 cm in size. They are laser cut, so you can see the edge quality you can expect when you order from us. In one corner, the samples are cut with the laser, so you can see how wide the cut is. To see what engravings look like, each sample has a surface engraving and a line engraving, with the exception of materials not suitable for engraving.

Some samples have laser marks or smoke residue on the bottom, which shows how they typically come out of the laser. If you don't want this, you can choose protective film when ordering your laser parts. Protective film also helps prevent scratches during transport.

Do you want to have products made in series without laser marks and without having to remove film? We have a special machine for that. See series production and contact us for the possibilities.

How do I choose a material for laser cutting?

All materials in our assortment are extensively tested and approved for laser cutting, so you're in good hands. However, how a material looks once laser cut varies. Order a sample chain to see in person how the laser cuts and engraves the material you want to use. The samples are a representative display of the quality we deliver.

Furthermore, your choice depends on your design. Do you want something made from wood or plastic? What should your material look like, and what technical specifications must it meet? These are all questions you, as a designer, need to consider, but we are also happy to help. Feel free to contact us for material advice for your project.
