Collection: Cork & Cardboard

Cork and cardboard for laser cutting

Cork & cardboard is the collection for light, fibrous, and cardboard-like materials, each with a different appearance and structure. Here you will find Wood pulp board white, Solid cardboard, Corrugated cardboard and Cork. Use this page to choose between a smooth white base, grey solid cardboard, structured brown corrugated cardboard, or natural cork material.

Search terms like laser cutting cardboard and cardboard laser cutting refer here to cardboard sheets that you process yourself with a suitable laser. Laser Cut Supply supplies the material and does not offer laser cutting as a service via this collection.

Choosing between cork and cardboard

Start with the function of your part. If you are looking for a smooth white material for cards, presentations, architectural models, or neat visible parts, look at Wood pulp board white. If you want a grey cardboard sheet with a sturdier, fibrous character, Solid cardboard is a better fit. For lightweight packaging models, 3D shapes, or parts where the corrugated structure can be part of the design, Corrugated cardboard makes sense. Choose Cork when a warm, natural appearance, light texture, and elastic material feel are important.

The four materials in this collection

Wood pulp board white is made of 100% wood pulp, is acid-free and pH-neutral. It has a smooth, matte white surface and is suitable when a clean, light base is important. Solid cardboard is made of 100% recycled paper fibers and has a grey, fibrous surface. Corrugated cardboard has a B or BC flute structure with a visible corrugated core and is interesting for lightweight constructions and packaging tests. Cork is lightweight, elastic, and porous, giving cut work or engravings a more natural appearance.

Thicknesses, sizes, and finish

The available thicknesses vary by product. Wood pulp board white ranges from 1 to 4 mm, Solid cardboard from 0.5 to 3 mm, Corrugated cardboard is available in 3 and 7 mm, and Cork ranges from 1 to 5 mm. Standard sizes also differ per material. Therefore, choose the material type first and then check the product page to see which thickness, color, and size fit your design.

Relationship with Wood & MDF and Sustainable materials

Cork & cardboard overlaps with Wood & MDF when comparing light, fibrous, or wood-like sheet materials. The collection also touches on Sustainable materials, as some products have natural, recycled, or fibrous material profiles. Do not view this as one general sustainability claim for the entire collection: compare per product which properties are important for your project.

Lightweight application direction

This material direction is often viewed for architectural models, card designs, packaging tests, presentation models, displays, workshops, decorative details, and lightweight prototypes. Use this collection to choose the material feel. If you want to compare more broadly with wood, acrylic, foam, or plastic, start at All materials or the Material Selection Guide.

Ordering with less doubt

First determine whether you are looking for white and smooth, grey and solid, brown and corrugated, or natural and elastic. Then go to the product for thickness, size, and available variants. For small material tests, you can also view Value bundles.

When do I choose Cork?
Cork is suitable when you are looking for a lightweight, elastic, and porous material with a warm natural appearance.
