Need a source of material
My supplier of price tags for my handcrafted pens has disappeared.
But I have a GlowForge and a newly made downdraft table, so I can just make them myself. Except I don’t know what the material is.
It is .011” thick and a Sharpie pen works really great for marking prices and stock numbers.
Anyone have a suggestion of where to look?
They might be polypropylene. It’s what Ikea cutting boards are made of - and a lot of folders. It cuts fairly well but engraves terribly - which is fine since you don’t want to engrave.
Found this:

Will try it tomorrow or the next day
Maybe Tyvek? It’s commonly used for price tags and laser cuts nicely. You can get a free sample piece from the post office in the form of priority mail envelopes.
Did you verify this is not a vinyl/PVC-containing plastic?
I got so confused with the duplicate posts for a sec! lol
How about using the GF to cut some out of silicone baking mats? You could either engrave them or write on them.
