Acrylic

The general-purpose sheet — clear, colored, frosted and mirror-bright.

Acrylic (PMMA, sold as Plexiglass) is what most jobs want: it is optically clearer than glass, holds a polished edge, laser-cuts cleanly and comes in a color range nothing else matches. It is stiffer than polycarbonate and machines more predictably, at the cost of being easier to crack under a sharp impact. Choose it for displays, signage, glazing, covers, risers and anything where appearance matters.

Polycarbonate

The impact-resistant sheet — where acrylic would crack.

Polycarbonate (sold as Lexan) trades a little clarity and scratch resistance for enormous toughness — it takes an impact that would shatter acrylic and bends rather than breaking. Choose it for machine guards, safety glazing, protective covers and anything at risk of a real knock. It is not a laser material: it scorches and gives off fumes, so cut it mechanically.

PVC

Rigid and expanded PVC — machined parts and signage board.

Not stocked yet. Rigid PVC is a dense, opaque sheet that machines and drills cleanly for fabricated parts and guards; expanded PVC (foam board) is the light, printable standard for signage and display panels. Neither is optically clear, and neither should ever go in a laser — PVC releases chlorine gas.

What it will be for →

Which one do you need?

If it needs to look good, be optically clear, take a polished edge or go in a laser, use acrylic. If something might hit it hard — a guard, a shield, glazing at ground level — use polycarbonate and accept that it scratches more easily. Most people ordering plexiglass want acrylic; most people who have already broken something want polycarbonate. The full comparison covers strength, clarity, machining and cost side by side.

Cutting for a laser?

Order acrylic sized to your machine bed rather than trimming a full sheet — the craft & laser range lists the colors makers use most, and each machine page gives the exact size for that bed. Never put polycarbonate in a laser.

Sizes and thicknesses

Every sheet is cut to order, so you are not limited to the standard sizes — enter any width and height within our range and the price updates as you type. Thicknesses run from0.040" to 4" in clear acrylic, with the color range concentrated in the thicknesses people actually use. The thickness guide maps thicknesses to jobs, and nominal vs exact sizes explains why a sheet sold as 1/8″ does not measure exactly 0.125″.
