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.

TruFlat Plywood - Wood for Laser Cutting FAQ

What can you make with TruFlat Laser Wood?

TruFlat plywood is ideal for laser-cut and laser-engraved products such as:

Coasters
Earrings
Keychains
Ornaments
Name tags
Bag tags
Layered wall décor
Cake toppers
Promotional products
Door and window signs
Point of sale (table tents, business card holders)
Business cards
Craft fair and Etsy items

Because TruFlat is engineered for laser use, it cuts cleanly and engraves consistently, making it perfect for detailed designs and batch production.

How to tell the difference between Truflat White and Truflat Paint?

TruFlat White and TruFlat Paint are both white, but they support different use cases.

TruFlat White features a glossy, finished surface that is suitable for sublimation and engraving projects. Its smooth surface provides a polished look and is designed for easy “wipe-clean” removal of engraving char marks.

TruFlat Paint is white with a dull, matte, unfinished, pre-primed surface, making it ready for painting. TruFlat Paint allows makers to paint the sheet any color before cutting or engraving it. It is intentionally designed as a laser wood product that can be painted any color for a variety of engraving projects.

To tell the difference by touch:

TruFlat White feels smooth and has a slight sheen.
TruFlat Paint feels rougher, unfinished, and lightly textured to better absorb paint.

Is TruFlat a profitable laser blank?

Yes. TruFlat is considered a high-margin laser blank because:

It cuts quickly with minimal waste
It engraves cleanly without heavy post-processing
It can be sold as finished goods at strong markups

Many makers use TruFlat to create lightweight, easy-to-ship products like earrings and ornaments — which helps reduce shipping costs while maintaining strong profit margins.

Profitability ultimately depends on your pricing strategy and product positioning, but TruFlat is designed to support efficient production and resale.

Why buy TruFlat from MakerFlo?

MakerFlo has been carrying TruFlat plywood since 2024 and was one of the early retailers helping introduce the brand to the laser community. During that time, we’ve worked closely with thousands of engraving businesses who rely on TruFlat for consistent results.

Because we specialize in premium laser blanks and engraving resources to help laser engraving businesses succeed, we don’t just sell TruFlat — we support it with:

Real-world laser settings
Reseller resources
Project inspiration
Customer support from experienced engraving professionals

While TruFlat is now available from multiple retailers, MakerFlo continues to be a trusted source for laser-ready materials and engraving guidance.

What are the most popular TruFlat colors?

While color trends vary seasonally, popular TruFlat finishes typically include:

Natural wood tones (Maple & Oak are most popular)
Black
White
Walnut-inspired finishes
Seasonal colors (TruFlat Paint is pre-primed so you can paint it any color for holiday or seasonal needs)

Many makers test 3–5 core colors first and expand based on customer demand.

Is TruFlat really plywood?

TruFlat is an engineered wood panel designed specifically for laser cutting and engraving and guaranteed flat, solving the warping problem of normal plywood.

While it is often referred to as “plywood” within the laser community, TruFlat uses an engineered core with a real wood veneer surface. This construction provides a smooth, consistent engraving surface and helps reduce internal voids that are common in some traditional plywood sheets.

Because it does not use stacked wood plies like Baltic birch, the edge appearance and internal composition may look different from traditional plywood.

TruFlat is designed to prioritize:

Flat, stable sheets
Consistent engraving results
Cleaner laser performance
Reduced internal inconsistencies

If you are specifically looking for multi-ply hardwood plywood with visible layers on the edge, TruFlat may look different than what you expect. If you’re unsure which material is right for your project, our team is happy to help guide you.

What other ways can TruFlat be customized?

Beyond laser cutting and engraving, TruFlat can be:

Scored and paint filled
Layered for dimensional projects
Combined with acrylic
Used with UV printing
Paired with vinyl
Sublimated (best with White, Linen, Maple & Oak)
Assembled into 3D designs

This flexibility makes it suitable for a wide range of product styles and branding needs.

Does TruFlat require sealing before engraving?

In most cases, sealing is not required before engraving. However, some makers prefer to:

Mask before cutting for extra clean edges
Apply a clear coat after engraving for durability
Lightly sand for certain finishes

Your finishing process may vary based on your machine and desired look.

Is TruFlat beginner-friendly?

Yes. TruFlat is designed to be laser-ready, which makes it suitable for:

New engraving businesses
Etsy sellers
Craft fair vendors
Established laser shops

Because it engraves and cuts consistently, it reduces trial-and-error compared to general craft plywood.

Can TruFlat be used for layered 3D designs?

Yes. TruFlat works well for multi-layer builds such as:

Shadow boxes
Layered signs
Custom wall art
Brand logos

Its flat profile helps layers stack cleanly and align properly.

TruFlat Troubleshooting Guide

General Pro Tip

Always test new settings on a small scrap piece before running a full sheet. Laser machines vary by wattage, tube condition, and calibration. Use published settings as a starting point only and fine-tune based on your specific machine.

Why is my TruFlat charring too much when cutting?

Excess charring is usually caused by:

Too much power
Too slow speed
Dirty lens or mirrors
No air assist
Incorrect focus height

Try this:

Make sure your machine is sitting on a level platform
Increase speed slightly before lowering power
Make sure air assist is on
Clean your lens and mirrors
Confirm proper focus
Mask the surface before cutting if needed

Small adjustments can dramatically reduce edge darkening.

Why isn’t TruFlat cutting all the way through?

If your material isn’t cutting cleanly:

Increase power slightly
Reduce speed slightly
Check focus
Confirm material thickness
Run a second pass instead of dramatically increasing power

If your board is slightly bowed, ensure it is fully flat on the honeycomb or bed.

Why does my engraving look too light?

Light engraving is typically caused by:

Speed too high
Power too low
DPI too low
Focus slightly off

Try increasing power 5–10% before adjusting speed.

Why does my engraving look too dark or burned?

Dark engraving usually means:

Power too high
Speed too slow
Too many passes

Lower power slightly or increase speed while maintaining clarity.

Why is my TruFlat warping after cutting?

Warping can happen due to:

Excess heat from slow cuts
Environmental humidity
Storing sheets vertically for long periods

Store TruFlat flat in a dry space and avoid excessive heat buildup during cutting.

Why are my edges rough?

Rough edges may be caused by:

Dull or misaligned optics
Improper focus
Insufficient air assist
Cutting too fast

Check alignment and focus first before adjusting power.

MakerFlo Pro Tip: Run a Test Grid to find your machine's best settings for Truflat. For cutting, make sure to cut small, .5in circles to find the best cutting settings

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
Layered laser artwork
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.

Reviews

Excellent Quality TruFlat Plywood for Detailed Laser Projects

"Really impressed with the quality of the TruFlat plywood. The maple has a great natural color and engraves beautifully with strong contrast and clean detail. The material is very flat and consistent, definitely living up to the TruFlat name. I’ve been using it for the top engraved layers on my layered lake maps and it works exceptionally well for roads, names, and shoreline details. Feels premium and produces a very clean finished product."

— Ben S. (5/5)

Awesome Product

"We got this to laser engrave on it and it was the perfect material for this. We had tried a different supplier and this beat it hands down at a better price!"

— Jason E. (5/5)

Tru Flat Sample Pack Review

"Love TruFlat. It's the best stuff out there. Just laser and wipe off."

— Merry C. (5/5)

My go-to for ornaments

"Love truflat for its quality and easy of engraving and cutting! Always cleans up nicely and looks amazing in my ornaments! The linen is probably my favorite, but all the colors are great!"

— Lori B. (5/5)

My favorite boards

"I absolutely love using Tru Flat boards for my laser engraving projects. I create personalized engraved items, and these boards engrave beautifully every time. The engraving comes out clean and crisp, which makes such a difference in the finished product. They are also incredibly easy to paint if you want to add color, but they look just as stunning left natural. The variety of color options they offer is wonderful and gives me a lot of flexibility when designing custom pieces. What I appreciate most is that products made with Tru Flat boards have an upscale, professional look — almost like something you’d find in a retail store rather than something handmade. I highly recommend them to anyone doing laser engraving or custom wood products."

— Tammie J. (5/5)

TruFlat has made my life

"TruFlat has made my life so much easier. All I need to do is wipe it with an alcohol wipe after engraving and cutting and the product is ready to go! Will continue to order this again and again and again!"

— CHARLENE B. (5/5)

Love tru flat

"I have tried a few different versions from different suppliers and the maferflo is my favorite. It engraves cleanly and wipes very easily."

— Laura N. (5/5)

Amazing Truflat wood from Makerflo

"Purchased a quantity of Truflat wood from Makerflo for my laser. This is excellent quality stuff and produces great products. Also appreciated the speed and service received from Makerflo for the wood arriving in my shop quickly."

— Jerry S. (5/5)

Laminate

"True, no warping, but the product looks like laminate and doesn't work for the work I do. I had expected the 'hardwoods' to be veneer on the exterior. Instead, it is printed laminate. I am sure there are uses for this, but it's not for me."

— Margaret C. (3/5)

Easy cut

"I’ve not created anything yet but did test product on our laser cutter. It cut nicely but caught on file when engraving. A bit of a learning curve. I wish the wood had more of a natural look. A little too shiny for me."

— Colleen W. (4/5)
