Shaped Plywood Number Tag 40x40mm, Single-Sided

This option measures 40x40 mm, single-sided (1+0). Shaped plywood number tags: the outline is cut to your artwork, the silhouette of a phone, a toy car, any object. The laser follows a closed line of any complexity, so in a nursery a child finds their locker by the picture rather than the number.

How to choose the size and thickness

• Size range of the series: 40x40, 50x50, 55x55, 60x60, 70x70 and 80x80 mm. A large format can be read across the hall; a small one is handier to carry in a pocket.
• Plywood thickness is chosen separately: 4 mm is lighter and thinner, 8 mm is stiffer, warps less with changes in humidity and feels more substantial in the hand.

What can be applied

• Laser engraving: the beam burns away the top layer of veneer, leaving a dark, high-contrast mark. It is the material itself rather than paint, so the mark does not wear off or peel.
• UV printing is for when you need colour: a logo, a pictogram, a colour fill over the wood. The print sits on the surface, so it is chosen where the tag will not rub against keys.
• Options include sequential numbering, a number with a section name, or the venue's logo. The logo must be a vector file; the difference between formats is explained in the article on vector and raster graphics, and the file specifications are listed in the print-ready artwork requirements.

Care and humidity

Plywood is a layered material, and the layers react to humidity differently. Damp creates stress inside the sheet and the blank warps: thin plywood warps more noticeably than thick. So do not wash the tags under the tap or dry them on a radiator; wipe them with a dry or slightly damp cloth.

The birch veneer face shows the wood grain, and the burnt-in number stays high-contrast throughout its service life: it is recessed into the material, so there is nothing to wear off.

Key ring

A key ring is available as an option: with it the tag goes on a bunch of keys, without it the tag hangs by its hole on a coat hook. The same product works both as a cloakroom number and as a key tag, which is the main reason people choose the plywood series.

Shaped number tags are chosen for nurseries, family changing rooms and playrooms: the same silhouette goes on the locker and on the tag, so a child finds their place before they can read.
