Why should I use Trotec materials?
Benefit from our laser-friendly paper and our versatile acrylic glass plates, which are especially suitable for the laser process.
Our wide TroGlass range is available in numerous colors and with different surfaces or degrees of transparency. The LaserPaper used consists of a real wood surface with a white cardboard on the back and enables extraordinary results in printing, cutting and engraving.
