Paper

Paper and cardboard – seemingly simple and ubiquitous materials – gain the status of special-purpose substrates in the Formix workshop. Thanks to the use of precise laser technology, we transform them into products of remarkable finesse and complexity that redefine standards in printing, scrapbooking, model making, and packaging production. Laser processing allows for projects whose delicacy and complexity go far beyond the capabilities of traditional die-cutting or plotter cutting methods.

Laser cutting of paper – finesse in every incision

The process of cutting paper and cardboard with a laser demonstrates the highest precision. The focused beam of light evaporates the material with minimal heat impact on the surroundings, allowing for extremely sharp edges without burns or scorch marks, even on very light papers. This technology enables the cutting of intricate lace-like patterns, delicate letters, and complex shapes with perfect accuracy. The contactless nature of the process eliminates the risk of creasing, tearing, or deforming the material – crucial when working with delicate decorative papers and high-grammage cardboards.

Advantages of laser cutting paper and cardboard

The digital precision of the laser opens entirely new possibilities for designers, ensuring quality and repeatability unattainable with conventional techniques. This method guarantees flawless execution of every single detail.

• Unmatched accuracy: Ability to cut the most complex patterns with perfectly sharp edges and corners.
• No physical contact: The laser never touches the material, protecting its structure and enabling work with the most delicate paper types.
• Speed and flexibility: Instant transition from digital design to finished product – ideal for prototypes and short, personalized series.
• Clean process: No frayed edges or dust, resulting in a product ready for use immediately after processing.

From printing to architecture – a wide range of applications

Laser-cut paper and cardboard are used wherever detail and visual effect matter. We create luxury wedding invitations, greeting cards, business cards with unique shapes, lace-like product wraps, as well as prototypes of packaging and advertising displays. It is also an irreplaceable technology in model making, allowing for the creation of precise components of architectural models and models in any scale.

Paper engraving – subtlety and elegance

Laser engraving on paper is a technique based on extremely precise removal of its top layer or pigment color change. Unlike engraving in wood or metal, here subtlety is the key. The result is a delicate, tonal ornament that adds elegance and a prestigious character to products. This method allows for logos, personalized stationery, and the creation of unique patterns on covers and packaging.

Creating contrast and texture

Particularly striking engraving results are achieved on specialized multilayer papers, such as the LaserPaper series. In these materials, removing the colored top layer reveals a contrasting core – for example, in gold, silver, or white. This makes it possible to create bold, two-color graphics and texts with razor-sharp detail. It is the perfect solution for producing exclusive menu cards, certificates, diplomas, or invitations.
