Says its laserable, but all my research says it emits poisonous gas when lasered

I recently got a laser engraver and was acquiring some different blanks to use with it. I thought these would be good for making into smaller signs or even cutting into smaller shapes for things like badges or something. However, these do state Perfect For Rotary Engraving, but not 100% for laser. Unfortunately, that information seems to be buried in the listing, and I didnt pay attention to it. I was able to use it with my laser... sort of, but not well. I never got good results and if a black soot layer forms on it, its very difficult to get that off making the entire surface look dirty. More soot also seems to form on these than the ones meant for use with laser engraving. It also doesnt get as clean an edge on the designs you make in it. I still gave this 4 stars because its unfair to take them away when Im using it in a way they dont recommend. Despite the issues I had and the many hours playing around with settings to try and get it to work well, I was able to get a few decent signs out of these. The material is sturdy but not too heavy so it does work well for small signs and if you can get it cut nicely using a rotary engraver or somehow manage nice results with a laser then it makes nice signs and the contrast of white and blue looks good. If you have a rotary engraver these are probably great but if you have a laser engraver expect more disappointing results. They do sell blanks intended for use with laser engravers so Id recommend just finding the size/color in the blanks they do recommend for laser use.

I didn’t read the review first because I got the blue/white and had great luck. But red and white is NOT white it’s grey. And very think. Like everyone else has noted .04 thickness.

Using for laser etching, works great

Great product for CNC engraving. This product is not good for laser engraving

It’s a great piece of material at a great price, but it’s definitely not adequate for laser engraving. It’s my fault for not reading the fine print because they clearly state that it may not work on laser engravers. If you’re wanting to laser etch it, don’t be surprised if the white core turns gray.

Great product, been using it with a rotary engraver. Works great!

I used these for my CNC engraver to make small labels for my sailboat. The color selection were great and once I use these up I will buy more.

Purchased this as it came with various colors and said it was LASER engravable. Normally the top layer will cleanly vaporize with LASER application, but in this instance it melted and the surface finish was pebbly, not smooth. Tried various power settings, but did not achieve a smooth, clean engrave. This maybe a rotary-only engravable product.

Top layer of color is applied unequally, resulting in an uneven color and appearance. Engraved well. Be sure to remove adhesive protective film.
