Crafting has evolved significantly over the years, making it easier for creators to express themselves and their ideas in unique and fun ways! One essential component of modern crafting is craft blanks, particularly laser cut blanks. But what exactly are they, and how can they enhance your creative projects? Let’s dive in!
What Are Craft Blanks?
Craft blanks are versatile materials that serve as a base for various creative projects especially those using their vinyl cutting machines to add their own personalisation. Craft Blanks come in a range of different varieties, including tumblers, neoprene blanks like icy pole holders and stubby holders, and our favourite—laser cut craft blanks. These blanks provide an ideal foundation for crafters, allowing for limitless creativity and customisation. You really are limited only by your imagination!
At Laser Blanks, we specialise in high-quality laser cut craft blanks that stand out in the crafting community. Our laser cut blanks are precisely crafted to ensure exceptional quality, making them perfect for those seeking professional-looking results. Whether you’re designing custom gifts, unique home decor, or promotional items, our range of laser cut blanks is the ideal canvas for your artistic vision.
What Are Laser Cut Blanks?
Laser cut blanks are pre-shaped materials meticulously cut using laser technology. These craft blanks come in a huge range of colours + materials in a huge range of shapes and sizes. At Laser Blanks, our laser cut craft blanks come in beautiful timbers such as plywood and bamboo and a huge range of acrylic varying in colour, finish & thickness each catering to different crafting needs and styles.
The great thing about acrylic craft blanks is the vast array of colours and thicknesses, offering something for every project! The most common thickness is 3mm, which features stunning options like fine and chunky glitters, mirror finishes, and a beautiful selection of bright, natural, sorbet and pastel colours. This thickness is ideal for a variety of applications, from decorative pieces to functional items. Some craft blanks in the 3mm range include items such as earring displays, wardrobe hangers, gift tags, Christmas Craft Baubles and much much more.
For those who own a Cricut Maker and enjoy engraving, 2mm acrylic is a popular choice. While it comes in a more limited range of colours, it’s perfect for detailed designs and intricate engraving. As the Cricut Maker can take a thickness of 2.4mm for engraving purposes, the 2mm option is the safest choice to ensure that no damage occurs to the Cricut Maker.
At Laser Blanks, you'll see 2mm available in most designs. This will be specified in the colour selection. If there is a design that you're looking at that isn't available online with a 2mm thickness, please contact us and we'd be more than happy to help!
In addition to these, we offer acrylic blanks in other thicknesses, including 4.5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, and more. These varying thicknesses allow for unique projects, from gorgeous milestones to elaborate wall plaques. With laser cut blanks, you’re truly limited only by your imagination.
