Questions

Quick answers

Does Taskboard stay flat?

Yes. It stays flat.

Can kids cut it?

Yes. The 1/32" sheet cuts with ordinary scissors, so children can cut it themselves.

Does it laser-cut cleanly?

Yes. It cuts faster than many materials and leaves minimal light-colored scorch marks. White etches cleanly and reads well under paint. Basswood-tone gives extra contrast while supplies last.

Is it safe for kids?

Independently evaluated by a board-certified toxicologist (2016): Taskboard complies with ASTM D4236, the U.S. Federal Hazardous Substances Act and LHAMA, and the Canadian and EU equivalents. Not toxic, not an irritant, not a sensitizer. Safe for the classroom.

How much does it cost compared with museum board?

About half the cost of museum board.
