- Maple hardwood surface that engraves with strong visibility on lighter, even-grain wood (helpful for readable logos, names, and small text)
- Tumble-sanded smooth face reduces prep time before paint, stain, vinyl, or woodburning
- Rounded corners are easier to handle in classrooms and safer on keychains, jewelry, and bag tags
- CNC-cut shape supports consistent sizing across batches, so multi-piece sets look uniform
- Kiln-dried stock helps reduce warping and cracking during storage and after finishing
- Drillable and carvable, so you can add holes, slots, light chamfers, or small recesses as your project requires
- Works well for production workflows (laser shops and makers) and group activities (schools, camps, workshops) thanks to multiple pack sizes and bulk availability
For laser engraving businesses and maker brands, these maple engraving blanks are a dependable size for small logo tags, QR or SKU markers, and product branding labels where you want a light wood that gives good contrast with engraved artwork. For weddings, events, and gift packaging, they’re a practical “wood tag blank” for place markers, favor tags, and mini signage; unfinished rounded-corner shapes like these are commonly used for gift tags, painting, vinyl application, woodburning, and sign-style craft projects. Jewelry makers can drill them for lightweight pendants, earrings, zipper pulls, and charm-style keychains, while teachers and game designers can use them as durable tokens for sorting, matching, counting, or custom tabletop pieces. One uniquely well-suited idea for this exact size: engrave a two-line “cord ID” label (example: “Camera / USB-C”) and hang it on charging cables, tool lanyards, or bins to keep workspaces organized without bulky tags
-
Will this work as a laser engraving blank for small text or logos?
Yes—maple’s light color and even grain help engraved details stand out clearly, which improves readability for names, icons, and small logos. -
Are these ready to paint right out of the bag?
Yes—they arrive unfinished but tumble-sanded smooth, so most crafters can paint immediately; a quick dust wipe helps thin paints and metallics look their best. -
Can I stain or woodburn these?
Yes—unfinished maple accepts stain and woodburning well, and the smooth face helps keep lettering clean and legible on small designs. -
What size are they exactly, and how much can they vary?
Nominal size is 1" long × 1-3/8" wide × 3/16" thick with a ±1/16" tolerance; if you’re fitting a tight recess, jig, or slot, design with that variance in mind. -
Will this fit inside a 1-1/2" wide keychain hardware frame?
Usually yes, since the width is 1-3/8" (1.375"), but hardware openings vary; allow a little clearance for finish buildup (paint, resin, topcoat) and the rounded corners. -
Can I drill a hole for a key ring without splitting the wood?
Yes—maple drills cleanly; use a sharp bit, drill a small pilot hole first, and keep the hole centered with enough edge distance to prevent tear-out during daily use. -
Are the corners sharp?
No—the corners are rounded to reduce snagging and make them more comfortable for classroom handling and craft kits. -
What glue should I use to attach magnets, findings, or backs?
Use wood glue for wood-to-wood bonds, hot glue for quick crafts, and epoxy for the strongest hold on metal findings or magnets. -
Can I order these in bulk for a class, camp, or production run?
Yes—standard pack sizes include 25, 100, and 500, and larger bulk quantities are available upon request for classrooms, makerspaces, and batch production. -
How should I store unfinished blanks if I’m not using them right away?
Store them indoors in a dry, stable area to help prevent swelling and maintain flatness for engraving, painting, and adhesive bonding. -
How are these shipped so they don’t get damaged?
They ship in protective boxes designed for normal parcel handling to help keep small parts from getting crushed or scuffed in transit.
If you want a small maple rectangle that’s easy to finish and consistent enough for batch work, this rounded-corner blank is a reliable starting point for tags, tiles, keychains, and other small maker projects.
