ACRYLIC & MATERIALS
What is acrylic?
Acrylic (PMMA) is a transparent thermoplastic known for being lightweight, shatter-resistant, and crystal clear. It’s often used as an alternative to glass.
What’s the difference between acrylic, Plexiglass, and Lucite?
- Acrylic is the generic name for the material
- Plexiglass and Lucite are brand names for high-quality acrylic sheets
They are all the same base material—just from different manufacturers.
Is acrylic better than glass?
Yes, in many ways:
- 17x more impact-resistant
- Lighter and safer
- Easier to cut and shape
- Doesn’t shatter like glass
What thicknesses of acrylic do you use?
Common sizes include:
- 1/8” (3mm) for lightweight signs or covers
- 1/4”–1/2” for displays and most signs
- 1” or more for bold, freestanding elements
Do you offer other materials?
Yes. We also work with:
- Polycarbonate
- HDPE, LDPE
- PVC Foam Board
- PETG, ACP

What’s the difference between 3D signs and channel letters?
- 3D Acrylic Signs: Solid-cut acrylic letters/logos mounted on walls.
- Channel Letters: Often used outdoors—each letter is hollow and may include internal LED lighting for visibility at night.

Yes! We offer front-lit, backlit, and faux neon acrylic signs powered by energy-efficient LEDs—ideal for both retail and corporate settings.
