Frequently Asked Questions
Is Micro laminate the same as Traffolyte?
No. Traffolyte is a hard laminate made from highly compressed paper. If you are looking for a hard laminate, see our Abet hard Laminate section. Micro laminate also goes by the name of ABS laminate or Gravoply 2 laminate.
Can it be rotary engraved?
Yes. It is designed for rotary engraving using carbide cutters.
Can it be laser engraved?
Yes. It can be laser engraved, although it is designed primarily for rotary engraving. It is not recommended to laser cut the material as it can produce a lot of smoke and residue. Always use suitable laser settings and extraction.
How can you cut micro ABS laminate?
You can use a rotary cutter, scroll saw, Varga saw, or guillotine.
How do you use micro laminate?
Avoid Deep Engraving the materials. You only want to engrave the microthin foil cap layer to prevent melting and raised edges.
