Craft Plastic

 Craft plastic (PET-G) is sold at a variety of Internet sites, including E-Bay, Dick Blick, Clear Scraps, and
Scrapbook.com. Not only can it be cut on the Zing, but fold lines can be created using the Zing engraving
tool. The advantage of PET-G is that you can fold these score lines back and forth many times without the
plastic snapping. If you prefer, you can also create fold lines by cutting dashed lines. These also are very
strong and can be folded dozens of times before weakening.

 PET-G comes in 0.015” and 0.02” thicknesses with protective sheets on the front and back to protect it from
scratches. These protective sheets will make it appear to be colored, but it is perfectly clear when the sheets
are removed. You can remove both before cutting, but you might prefer to leave one of the sheets attached
to protect the bottom side from any adhesive on the cutting mat. This bottom sheet can also serve as a
stabilizer during the cut.

 PET-G doesn’t need to be cut totally clean. So, if there are parts that are not cleanly cut, try tearing the
shape away from the waste. That should work just fine. Ideally, of course, the cut will be clean and this step
not needed. Refer to the table at the end of Chapter 2 for cut settings and the table at the end of this chapter
for scoring settings.
