Canal Plastics Center provides professional acrylic bonding and assembly services in NYC, producing clean, strong, presentation-grade acrylic structures for retail displays, galleries, studios, brands, architectural models, and custom fabrication. We use industry-standard acrylic cements and specialized assembly techniques to create clear, seamless joints with precise alignment and long-term stability.
Whether you need a single display case, a set of retail risers, a sculptural assembly, or custom acrylic components for installations, our team builds with accuracy, clarity, and consistent craftsmanship.

Our fabrication team has decades of experience building acrylic displays, cases, boxes, fixtures, and specialty components for some of New York’s most demanding creative clients. We work with museum standards for clarity and alignment, ensuring joints are clean, straight, bubble-free, and polished as needed. Every project is built in our SoHo shop with tight tolerances, careful preparation, and quality inspection before delivery.
Because we handle cutting, routing, bending, and polishing in-house, each piece can be fabricated, prepped, and assembled with proper fit and finish. Our experience makes the difference: clean seams, crisp angles, and stable constructions that are both visually refined and structurally sound.
We construct display cases, risers, pedestals, protective covers, product stands, plinths, multi-panel assemblies, and custom-designed structures. Simple open-top boxes, museum dust covers, multi-layered display components, architectural model enclosures, and sculptural elements are all common requests. We also create bonded assemblies that integrate CNC-cut parts, heat-bent panels, or specialty-finished edges to achieve the exact look and function the project requires.
If your design includes multiple panels, stepped forms, nested elements, or alignment-critical geometry, we can incorporate jigs and fixtures to maintain consistency throughout production.
Acrylic assemblies are essential for retail merchandising, visual displays, gallery installations, product photography, and custom built structures that require clear, modern presentation. Retail stores rely on assembled acrylic for shelves, risers, and pre-built fixtures. Museums use bonded acrylic for protective covers and exhibition components. Designers and studios depend on assembled acrylic for prototypes, branded display elements, and structural forms. Student and studio projects benefit from clean edges, accurate alignment, and a professional finish.
Whether it’s a single box or a full production run, our assembly work gives your project a refined, polished look.
To begin, send your project details including dimensions, material thicknesses, panel count, construction type, or any available drawings. You can submit everything through our custom order form or email us directly. Our team reviews your specifications, confirms feasibility, recommends materials if needed, and provides a quote with estimated turnaround.
During fabrication, each panel is cut, routed, polished, or prepared before bonding. We use professional acrylic cements that create clean, strong solvent-welded joints. After assembly, pieces are checked for clarity, strength, and alignment. If your project requires additional finishing — such as polishing, bending, drilling, or mounting hooks — we integrate those steps into the workflow.
When complete, you may pick up your finished assembly from our SoHo shop or arrange shipping.
Provide your design at true scale with clear dimensions for each panel or component. Vector files such as AI, PDF, EPS, DXF, or SVG are preferred for cut-and-assemble projects. If you are unsure how to format your drawings or need help translating a sketch into cut files, send what you have and we can help guide the process.
We will advise on material thickness, joint style, bend locations, and any other considerations that affect assembly quality.
Bonding and assembly often work hand-in-hand with laser cutting, CNC routing, heat bending, edge polishing, and drilling. Many projects require a combination of these steps to create a complete finished structure. If your project involves multiple operations, let us know in your initial inquiry so we can plan the workflow from start to finish.
How strong are acrylic bonded joints?
Properly bonded acrylic forms a solvent-welded joint that is strong, clear, and suitable for most display and fabrication needs.
Can you make museum-grade display cases?
Yes. Many galleries and institutions rely on our shop for clean, polished, exhibition-ready acrylic cases.
Do you ship assembled acrylic pieces?
We offer both local pickup and local messenger shipping. Large or fragile cases may require special packing or pickup.
Can you bond specialty acrylics?
Most cast acrylics bond cleanly. Certain mirrored or specialty materials may have limitations, and we can advise based on the specific material.
