- Custom sign panels and backer boards
- Dimensional and layered sign pieces
- Cut-out shapes, templates and display parts

Cutting and Engraving Are Different Services

Laser engraving adds names, numbers, logos, messages or other details to the surface of a suitable item or material.
When your project needs engraved information rather than a cut shape, visit our laser engraving page.

FAQCNC & Laser Cutting
CNC and Laser Cutting FAQs
What is the difference between CNC and laser cutting?
CNC cutting uses a controlled cutting tool to route shapes and may be suitable for projects requiring depth, larger components or routed lettering.
Laser cutting uses a focused beam and may be suitable for detailed designs and tight contours.
The best method depends on the material, thickness, dimensions and intended finish.
Do I need to choose CNC or laser cutting myself?
No. Send your project information, artwork, dimensions and intended use. We will review which method is more appropriate.
What files should I submit?
Vector files such as AI, EPS, SVG, PDF or DXF are preferred when available.
When you do not have a vector file, upload the best logo, image, screenshot or sketch you have.
Can you prepare my logo for cutting?
Yes. We can review whether the artwork needs cleanup, vector conversion, simplified details or cut-path preparation.
What materials can you cut?
Material suitability depends on the cutting method, thickness, dimensions and design.
Tell us the material you have in mind, or explain how the finished piece will be used so available options can be reviewed.
Can you cut custom sizes and shapes?
Yes, custom dimensions and outlines can be reviewed. Include the required width, height, quantity and artwork with your request.
Can you create individual letters and logos?
Yes. Send the logo or lettering, desired dimensions, quantity and a photograph of the intended display area when relevant.
Is laser engraving included on this page?
Laser engraving is a related but separate service. Use our laser engraving page when you need surface details, names, numbers or logos rather than a fully cut shape.
How long does a cutting project take?
Timing depends on artwork readiness, dimensions, material, quantity, complexity and current production scheduling.
Include your required date so availability can be reviewed.
