About TruFlat, Engineered Wood for Laser Cutting
TruFlat is a double-sided engineered wood surface with 100% wood fiber core designed to stay flat for laser cutting and engraving projects. Featuring a smooth pre-finish on both sides, you can engrave and wipe on paint fills with easy cleanup. You don't even need masking as the paint wipes right off!
TruFlat® is a proprietary process of layering engineered faux wood faces onto both sides of a MDF core sheet. The designer faux wood faces are created through a 6 step painting process to simulate a real wood grain look. The core is made of a defect free standard MDF (medium-density fiberboard) which allows for easy cutting with a laser, CNC router or scroll saw. TruFlat is always sold double sided, so no worries on which side is front or back. TruFlat is not a veneer or laminate material.
Is TruFlat plywood?
No. TruFlat is a brand term used to describe TruFlat’s pre-finished and guaranteed flat wood engineered for laser cutting and engraving. The term “plywood” refers to TruFlat’s layered tech which attaches 2 pieces of pre-finished engineered wood to a 100% solid wood MDF fiber core. TruFlat guarantees their product as good both sides and always flat.

How to Use
TruFlat should be handled the same as MDF, plywood, and acrylic normally would. When working with any of these materials, it’s important to operate in a well-ventilated space and utilize a dust collector and fume extraction system to ensure a safe working environment. MakerFlo provides laser settings by machine for cutting and engraving, see below. TruFlat items are non-stainable due to the sublimation coating.
TruFlat Paint does not have sublimation coated and is primed to be used for cutting and/or painting. All laser settings provided below for regular TruFlat also work for TruFlat Paint.
For laser engraving and cutting settings, please see our section below.
What is TruFlat made of?
- 100% recycled/recovered wood fiber core

What Is TruFlat Plywood?
TruFlat plywood is a premium, pre-finished laser plywood made for crafters, laser engravers, sublimation makers, and small businesses that need clean, consistent results.
Unlike traditional plywood that can warp, bend, or show uneven grain, TruFlat is designed with an ultra-flat MDF core and finished designer faces. That means smoother cuts, cleaner engraving, easier sublimation, and less prep before you start creating.
If you’ve ever had a project ruined by warped wood, inconsistent grain, burn marks, or extra sanding, TruFlat was made to solve those problems.
Why Makers Love TruFlat
TruFlat gives you a smooth, stable surface that is ready to use right out of the package.
- Ultra-flat surface for cleaner laser cutting and engraving
- Pre-finished on both sides
- Works for laser engraving, laser cutting, sublimation, paint fills, resin fills, and more
- No sanding or finishing required before use
- Consistent results from sheet to sheet
- Available in multiple wood-look and solid finishes
- Great for signs, ornaments, coasters, tags, wall art, gifts, and custom products
Because TruFlat is engineered for consistency, it helps reduce the frustration that often comes with natural wood sheets.
What Makes TruFlat Different From Regular Plywood?
Traditional plywood can vary from sheet to sheet. It may have warping, knots, inconsistent grain, uneven layers, or surface defects that affect the final result.
TruFlat is made with a recovered or recycled MDF core and finished with designer faces that create a smooth, wood-like appearance. The result is a flatter, more predictable sheet that performs well for detailed craft projects.
TruFlat is known for having one of the flattest surfaces in the industry, with a tolerance of approximately +/- 0.015" over a 19" span. By comparison, standard Baltic Birch can have significantly more variation and warping.
That flatter surface matters when you’re using a laser, sublimating artwork, or creating finished products for customers.
Great for Laser Cutting and Engraving
TruFlat is easy to cut and engrave with CO2 and diode lasers. The smooth surface helps produce more consistent engraving results, and the engineered core helps reduce the surprises that can happen with natural wood.
It is especially useful for detailed laser projects where flatness and consistency matter, including ornaments, signs, layered artwork, coasters, tags, nameplates, keychains, gift card holders, and custom business products.
With the correct laser settings, TruFlat can be engraved cleanly without masking, helping save time during production.
Ready for Sublimation
TruFlat is pre-finished with an acrylic coating, making it suitable for sublimation projects without needing to apply a separate coating first.
That makes it a strong choice for sublimation blanks, custom wall art, photo gifts, signage, personalized décor, and full-color designs on wood-style sheets.
For the clearest sublimation results, white TruFlat is usually the best choice. Note that TruFlat Paint (primed white) cannot be sublimated.
Perfect for Paint Fills and Resin Fills
TruFlat also works well for paint-fill and resin-fill projects.
After engraving your design, you can add paint or resin into the engraved areas to create colorful, dimensional effects. Because of the finished surface, excess paint can wipe away from the top layer while staying inside the engraved design.
This makes TruFlat a great choice for makers who want a polished, professional look without adding a lot of extra finishing steps.
TruFlat Colors and Finishes
TruFlat comes in multiple finishes so you can choose the right look for your project.
- Maple: a light wood-look finish with a soft grain appearance
- Oak: a slightly darker wood-look finish with more visible grain
- Walnut: a darker, elegant finish for premium-looking projects
- White: a clean white finish that works especially well for sublimation
- Linen: a light beige finish with a soft, fabric-inspired look
- Black: a bold black finish that works well for engraving and paint fills
White TruFlat has been upgraded to TruFlat White 2.0, which includes dry erase capabilities along with the same craft-friendly performance.
What Can You Make With TruFlat Plywood?
TruFlat is a versatile material for both hobby crafters and product-based businesses.
- Laser-cut ornaments
- Custom signs
- Sublimation wall art
- Coasters
- Gift card holders
- Table numbers
- Name tags
- Keychains

- Personalized gifts
- Small-batch products for craft fairs or online shops
Whether you’re creating one custom gift or producing items for customers, TruFlat helps you get cleaner, more repeatable results.
