Why this cardboard square makes a difference day to day

If you want to make or decorate a square, you'll soon notice one thing. With thin paper, a good idea often ends up wavy. With a firm cutout that keeps its shape, decorations, lettering and model making turn out steadier and more even first time. You focus on creating – the base is already right.

Material & finish

The bookbinding board has a smooth surface that takes paint, varnish and glue well. Your design sits evenly and doesn't press through. Laser cutting gives exact dimensions and smooth edges. The dark edges it creates are part of the cutting process. They give the cutout a clean, finished border. Every square is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Good to know about bookbinding board

Bookbinding board gets its name because it's traditionally used for book covers. That's exactly where a material has to stay firm and flat for years. This stability also makes it so pleasant to craft with. What you make today will still hang or stand straight later on.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. Store the untreated cutouts somewhere dry and flat, and they'll stay flat for good. Avoid damp and wet conditions. That way the board keeps its smooth surface and firm shape.
