Acrylic
The general-purpose sheet — clear, coloured, 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 colour 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.

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.

Rigid and expanded PVC — chemical resistance and signage board.
Not stocked yet. Rigid PVC handles acids and solvents that would craze acrylic; 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 colours 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 from 1/8″ up to 2″ in clear acrylic, with the colour 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″.
