Stop Wasting Time Painting — Try Pre-Colored Plywood from Creatorally
You Don’t Realize How Much Time You’re Wasting... Until You Try Pre-Colored Craft Wood
Still painting wood before you create? You’re not alone.
For laser cutting, wood crafting, or DIY sign making, we often just assume painting is part of the process. But it doesn’t have to be.
The “Normal” Routine That’s Slowing You Down
Paint the wood.
Let it dry.
Flip it.
Wait again.
Smell the fumes.
Clean the brushes.
Wipe down the table.
It’s what most of us do.
But what if I told you — you’re wasting more time than you think?
Let’s Do the Math
Let’s say you’re making a batch of 10 custom ornaments using raw wood.
- Prep the wood: 20 minutes
- Paint the first side: 15 minutes
- Wait for it to dry: 1–2 hours
- Flip, paint the back: another 15 minutes
- Wait again: another hour
- Clean-up: 10–20 minutes
That’s 3+ hours of prep… just to make your blank wood usable.
And you haven’t even touched your laser cutter yet.
Why Laser Makers Are Switching to Pre-Colored Wood
More and more creators are skipping the mess and using pre-painted plywood.
With laser-ready, double-sided colored wood sheets, you can:
- Skip painting altogether
- Eliminate drying time
- Avoid spray fumes and cleanup
- Go straight to cutting and engraving
🧠 That means faster production, cleaner workspace, and more time for what matters.

You Might Be Numb to the Hassle
Most makers are. We’ve done it for so long, it feels normal. We accept it because “that’s how it’s always been.”
But deep down, we know:
- It slows us down
- It creates more mess than joy
- It smells up our workspace
- And it eats up time we don’t have
Maybe that’s why some of your projects sit unfinished.
Or why your Etsy shop hasn’t had new listings in weeks.
Then You Try Something Different
One day, someone hands you a sheet of pre-colored wood.
It’s smooth.
It’s already the perfect shade — front and back.
You go straight to your laser.
You make something beautiful in 30 minutes.
No spray. No cleanup. No stress.
Just results.
And suddenly, you realize:
this is what it’s supposed to feel like.
It’s Not About the Wood — It’s About What You Get Back
You’re not just saving time.
You’re gaining:
- 💡 More energy to design
- 👩👧 More time with your kids
- 🧘♀️ Less stress and mental clutter
- 💰 Faster turnaround if you’re selling
The product doesn’t have to be perfect.
It just has to remove the friction between your idea and your hands.
FAQs: Pre-Colored Wood for Laser & Craft Projects
Q: Can I use this wood with my Glowforge, xTool, or diode laser?
A: Absolutely. Creatorally’s pre-painted plywood is tested on CO₂ and diode laser cutters, and works beautifully for both engraving and cutting.
Q: Will the color burn or peel off during cutting?
A: Not if you use the right settings. The paint is layered to handle detailed engraving and clean cuts without flaking.
Q: Is it kid-safe and low-odor?
A: Yes. We use water-based, non-toxic paint. It’s safe for classrooms, home studios, and anywhere you value clean air.
It’s Time to Stop Painting and Start Creating
You didn’t know what you were missing — until it wasn’t missing anymore.
If you’re ready to speed up your process and enjoy making again, try switching to laser-ready, double-sided colored plywood.
