Materials · Paper & Cardboard

Laser cutting paper and cardboard for packaging prototypes, mock-ups and precise presentation forms.

Paper and cardboard are primarily relevant in the CO2 laser process when development, presentation and sample construction work together. The focus is on packaging prototypes, inlays, presentation models and precise pre-series in the Swiss B2B context.

Why paper and cardboard are particularly strong in sample construction

Paper and cardboard are strongest where ideas need to become tangible. Packaging, inserts or presentation forms can be tested, shown and cleanly coordinated as real samples.

Packaging prototypes

For dummies, folding samples and fast development rounds

Laser-cut cardboard samples help make shape, flaps, cut-outs and handling visible early, before larger quantities or tools are approved.

  • Folding samples
  • Sample cartons
  • Fast development cycles

Inlays

For precisely fitting inserts and safe product presentation

Paper and cardboard inserts are suitable for packaging inserts, product accommodation or structured presentation when parts need to be cleanly positioned.

  • Packaging inlays
  • Product accommodation
  • Precisely fitting cut-outs

Presentation

For mock-ups, presentation models and tangible sales materials

In sales, product development or at client meetings, a real cardboard model can often convince more quickly than a purely digital drawing.

  • Mock-ups
  • Client meetings
  • Early visualisation

Feasibility

Clearly differentiating suitability, stability and purpose

Not every cardboard serves the same goal. For good results, material thickness, surface quality and later stress must be cleanly coordinated.

  • Material thickness
  • Folding behaviour
  • Use as sample or series

Typical applications for paper and cardboard

Packaging prototypes and dummies

For development rounds, approvals and client meetings when shape, folding and handling need to be physically tested before the series.

Inlays and inserts

Suitable for product accommodation and structured presentation when parts need to lie securely and be cleanly positioned in the sample.

Mock-ups and presentation models

Useful for sales, product development and internal coordination when real models convince more quickly than pure drawings.
