Rounded cardboard rectangle – bookbinding board 3–50 cm

The wedding is getting closer and the place cards still aren't done. Or you're looking for a sturdy base for your next birthday craft project. A rectangle with rounded corners made of firm bookbinding board is just right for this. You can stick things on it, write on it or paint it, just as you like. A plain cutout becomes a name tag, a photo backdrop or a small decoration with a soft, friendly shape.

What changes for you

• You save yourself the fiddly job of cutting by hand. Every rectangle is laser-cut and arrives with clean edges and evenly rounded corners.
• Your craft projects look even and well planned. The fixed 2:1 ratio means every size keeps the same shape.
• Decorate freely with paint, paper, decoupage or varnish. The untreated, smooth surface takes all of them well.
• Your signs and stands won't buckle straight away. The 1.2 mm solid board at 755 g/m² holds its shape.
• You'll find the right size for every project. Choose a width from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps, individually or in a set.

Why this cardboard cutout makes a difference day to day

Place cards for a wedding, bunting for a birthday or labelled signs for your market stall: with ready-made cutouts you can go straight to the fun part – the designing. The rounded corners look soft and inviting. All the rectangles have exactly the same shape. So the result looks calm and even, not like a patchwork of hand-cut shapes.

Material & finish

The rectangles are made of 1.2 mm solid board in bookbinding grade. It's firm enough to glue, paint or varnish without warping or bending. The surface is smooth. Laser cutting leaves the edges brown and cleanly finished. The board is untreated and made from 100% recycled material. It is made in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia – short distances and reliable workmanship.

• Crafting with children: the rounded corners sit comfortably in small hands. Painted rectangles become pictures, signs or door hangers.
• For money gifts and engagements: use a large rectangle as a base and arrange notes, photos and good wishes on it. That's a gift people will really appreciate.
• In a café or at the weekly market: labelled cardboard signs on the counter and shelves give your goods uniform, tidy labelling. They're quick to make. And you can swap them at any time.

Good to know about bookbinding board

Bookbinding board is the classic material for book covers. It was developed to stay stable for years without warping. That's exactly what makes it so pleasant for crafting too. Your place cards, stands and decorations keep their shape, even if you paint or glue them several times.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Store the cutouts flat and dry, and they'll stay flat and stable. As the board is untreated, protect it from moisture. Once painted or varnished, your finished decoration will last all the longer.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the board or glue things onto it? Yes. The untreated, smooth surface can be painted, varnished, glued and written on.

Why are the edges brown? The rectangles are laser-cut. This creates clean, even edges with the typical brown colouring.

How tall is my rectangle at the width I choose? All rectangles have a 2:1 ratio. At 10 cm wide the height is 5 cm, at 20 cm wide it is 10 cm.

What is the board made of? Solid board in bookbinding grade, 1.2 mm thick, made from 100% recycled material and produced in Thuringia.

Is the board suitable for outdoor use? Untreated, it is sensitive to moisture. For outdoor use, varnish or paint it first and protect it from prolonged wet.

What counts is the moment your guests discover the place cards you made yourself. They notice that someone prepared everything with love. Just choose your size and quantity, and get started.
