Signage & Display

Acrylic sheet sign

A clear or colored glass-like rigid panel. Premium standoff signage and edge-lit displays.

“Acrylic for looks, polycarbonate for impact.”

Good to know

It's premium and glass-like, but it scratches. Gorgeous in a lobby, the wrong call anywhere it'll get touched or knocked. Use polycarbonate there.

What it is

A rigid plastic sheet with glass-like clarity and finish. Cast acrylic fabricates and edge-lights best. Extruded is cheaper, with more uniform thickness. The default for premium, modern, standoff-mounted signage.

Choose it when

You want a premium, glass-like panel or an edge-lit sign. Use cast acrylic for fabrication and edge-lighting, extruded for budget flat panels. Choose polycarbonate instead when it might get hit.

Strengths

Glass-like premium look
Edge-lights beautifully
Standoff-mount gives a clean floating look

Watch-outs

– Scratches more easily than glass
– Cast costs more than extruded
– Not impact-rated like polycarbonate

Not the right call for: Impact / safety glazing (use polycarbonate) · High-abuse outdoor environments

Questions people ask

Acrylic or polycarbonate?

Acrylic for a premium, glass-like look and edge-lighting. Polycarbonate where it might get hit, since it's far more impact-resistant. Acrylic scratches and can crack.

Cast or extruded acrylic?

Cast for fabrication, edge-lighting, and the best optics; extruded for cheaper flat panels with uniform thickness.

Can it be edge-lit?

Yes. That's a signature acrylic look: LEDs in the base make an engraved or printed edge glow.

We don't stop at the print. Acrylic sheet sign runs through the same network that specs and fabricates it, then installs it on site. The work behind it:
