Frequently Asked Questions

• Will this fit inside a standard 2-inch or 3-inch frame or pocket?

The overall length is 2-1/4 inches, so it will fit inside a 3-inch framing area but not within a 2-inch space.

• Do the edges require additional sanding before painting?

Most shapes have smooth, machine-cut edges and are ready for immediate painting. Some may need brief light sanding, especially if a softer finish is desired.

• Is the wood ready for staining or should I apply a primer?

The birch plywood is unfinished and smooth. For deep, even stain absorption, a light pre-sand and optional primer are recommended.

• Can I use these for laser engraving?

Yes. The smooth birch plywood takes engraving cleanly. Expect minor burn marks along the machine-cut edge—these can be minimized or sanded lightly.

• Will these break if bent?

They are rigid but can break if bent or handled roughly. Not suitable for flexible applications.

• Are these safe for kids’ crafts?

They are child-friendly when supervised by an adult. Edges should be double-checked and sanded as needed before use by young children.

• Can I drill a hole for hanging ornaments?

Yes. You can drill by hand or with basic tools. A 1/16"–1/8" bit is commonly used for hanging holes.

• Is each cutout identical in size?

Consistent machine-cutting ensures uniform size, with a manufacturing variance of ±1/16".

• What type of glue should I use?

Birch plywood works well with wood glue, hot glue, or epoxy for crafting and assembly.

• Are these compatible with acrylic paint or wood markers?

Yes. Both acrylic paint and wood markers apply evenly to the unfinished surface.

• Will these pieces warp over time?

When stored indoors in low humidity and away from direct sunlight, the cutouts retain their shape. Avoid exposure to moisture.

• Can I order larger bulk packs?

Yes—options range from small packs (5) to bulk (100+), fitting single projects or group orders.

• How are they packaged for shipping?

All orders ship in sturdy boxes that meet ASTM D5118 standards, ensuring the shapes arrive intact and undamaged.

• Are the surfaces suitable for attaching embellishments like rhinestones or vinyl?

Yes. The smooth finish holds stickers, vinyl graphics, rhinestones, or glued-on embellishments.
