Berlin wooden cutout – 3 mm poplar plywood, 5–50 cm

Perhaps you're planning a wooden map of Germany for your living room. Or a school project on the federal states, or a small gift with a Berlin connection. All you need now is the right blank shape to paint. This Berlin cutout in 3 mm poplar plywood is made for your craft table. It shows a clearly recognisable outline of the state. It is laser-cut, untreated and ready for your ideas.

What changes for you

• You can start right away, with no sawing or sanding. The Berlin outline is already cleanly laser-cut and has smooth edges.
• Your shape looks finished from the very start. The typical brown laser edge gives the outline a fine border.
• You decide how the surface looks. The wood is untreated, so you can decorate, paint, varnish or oil it.
• You'll find the right size for every project, from small table scatter to wall art. The width can be chosen from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• Larger plans such as class projects or party favours are easy to supply. Sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces are available.

Why this wooden cutout makes a difference every day

A ready-made shape takes care of the tricky part. You keep the enjoyable part: the decorating. Instead of struggling with the outline, you sit at the table with brush and paint. You watch your project grow – on your own, with children or in a group. And because the Berlin outline stays clearly recognisable, the result works just as well on a wall, on a gift or in a shop window display.

Material & finish

The cutout is made from 3 mm poplar plywood. It is light, holds its shape and feels pleasant in the hand. Laser cutting gives smooth edges and a clean finish. The characteristic brown edge forms naturally during cutting. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. This is why paints, glues and oils adhere particularly well. As a natural material, each piece has its own shade, fine grain patterns or small knots. This is not a flaw. It is what makes every piece one of a kind. The cutout is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

• As a gift with a regional link: add a small Berlin outline to a moving-house present or a handmade money gift. The recipient will know straight away what it's about.
• In a shop or café with a link to the capital: the outline in the window display or on the counter shows the local connection at a glance. It's quick to put up and takes little effort.
• For school projects and clubs: with sets of 10 pieces or more, you can supply a whole group. Everyone works with the same shape, so the results look consistent.

Good to know about Berlin

Berlin is not only Germany's capital. It is also one of the 16 federal states – a city state with an unmistakable outline. That's why this shape belongs in every wooden map of Germany. It is also ideal for gifts for people with a connection to the city.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Simply store the untreated cutout in a dry place and it will keep its shape for a long time. If you'd like to make it more durable, you can varnish or oil it after decorating. Choose whatever suits your project.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the cutout straight away? Yes. The poplar plywood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. That's why paints, glues and oils adhere very well.

Why does the edge have a brown border? The outline is laser-cut. This creates the typical brown edge, which makes the outline look clean and finely drawn.

Do all cutouts look the same? The shape is always identical, but the wood isn't. As a natural material, it varies in shade and grain, and small knots are normal. This is exactly what makes every piece unique.

How tall is the cutout at my chosen width? As a guide: at a width of 10 cm, the height is 8 cm. The proportions stay the same for all sizes.
