My company is trying to figure out a good laminate for our tables to bounce light off of to shoot products on. (or something to that effect)

Any idea where to start?

Anything with a flat white paint will do. Can buy 1/4 harboard masonite and paint it flat white (nice smooth surface). Or just cover any table with a white cloth (dull fabric, nothing shiny). White canvas works good.
 
The problem with a white surface is that when it gets scratched up, it will show.

What about using a roll of white paper? It will work on any hard surface and you just roll out more when you need it. In photography we call it a seamless background.

If you want it to be more reflective (give you a reflection of the product) then you could put a piece of clear plexi-glass or acrylic over it.

Keep in mind that good product shots are more a result of good lighting, than the surface/background you are shooting on.

The Yellow Pages, for a pro product photographer? (or something to that effect)

Are you the shooter?
