Can you drill holes?
We actually get asked this question a lot. The holes are also laser cut.
You can cut a hole less than a millimeter wide if you want!
How close can I tile pieces?
We recommend at least 2 millimeters between pieces. Make sure they are not overlapping as it will ruin both pieces. Also, leave at least 5mm from the material edge
Do you match competitors prices?
Yes, we match everyone's advertised pricing (we might charge cutting time and shipping if they do).
I don't see the size I need, can I buy half sizes or larger sizes?
The smallest sizes we can manage are offered on our materials page. You can fill them up or tile your designs, there is one fee per unit size of material. If you need a bigger piece, please email for a quote.
What is the preferred software?
Corel Draw is preferred; Inkscape, Adobe Illustrator and AutoCAD can be used as well. (download Inkscape free)
Do you do wholesale?
Yes, for high volume please email us to get a quote.
Do you work with custom materials?
You can request a certain material, or send us your own material. Please write us an email for a quote.
Why do the templates (unit sizes) different with different materials?
Not all materials are available in all sizes. Some wood comes in very narrow planks, while acrylic is manmade and generally available in any size.
I don't know how to use CorelDraw or InkScape! Can I just send a JPG?
A JPG is not a vector graphic and the laser cutter will not recognize the lines to be able to cut the image. We offer a conversion service ($48/hour, most jobs take about 10min). Simply submit the file normally and we will email you a quote. There are excellent tutorials on how to use vector based programs, we suggest you give it a shot first!
What payment do you take?
Our preferred method is Paypal, however you can use a credit card to pay without having a PayPal account. We can also take credit cards over the phone (no emailing credit card numbers please).
How long does shipping take?
We ship with USPS unless otherwise requested.
We usually ship same day if the invoice is paid before 2pm CST.
What are the refund policies?
Due to the fact that all jobs are custom cut, we can offer refunds if it is our mistake only.
We reserve the right to request editing of jobs that seem to fragile to process and ship and while we take extra care to pack things carefully, if your designs are fragile they might break. We suggest using widths of at least 1/8 inch on all parts.
We offer free samples so you can test designs, see materials up close, and get a general look and feel for laser cut products.
If you don't see a free sample size next to your material of choice, you can request a swatch to see the other color up close.
