How it behaves in production
- Rigid cast acrylic, 2mm — thick enough that the polished EDGE reads as a bright band of light. The edge is the luxury signal.
- Laser engraving frosts the surface to a milky white mark; there is no ink in an engraved area.
- Never render as a thin flexible card — acrylic does not bend.
Common questions
- Is Clear acrylic dyed through?
- No. Clear acrylic is not a dyed-through sheet, so a cut edge will not match the printed face. If you need a coloured edge on this stock we add painted edging as a separate operation.
- Can you letterpress on Clear acrylic?
- We do not recommend letterpress on Clear acrylic. For light type on this stock we use foil stamping instead, which is opaque and sits cleanly on the surface.
- What weights do you stock Clear acrylic in?
- Weight on request. Heavier weights can usually be duplexed to order — ask and we will confirm before quoting.
- Can I see it before I order?
- Yes, and you should. Screens flatten texture and shift colour. We send physical samples of any stock in this directory before you commit.
