Clear Extruded Acrylic -economical, consistent thickness, and easy to work with for everyday projects.
Color Acrylics - Pastels, neons, frosted, translucent, and opaque colors available. Perfect for signage, art, and retail installations.
Specialty Acrylic - We also cut specialty materials, including:
Mirror acrylic

If you see it in-store, we can most likely cut it to size (We don't cut styrene or PC films).

We stock and cut a wide range of thicknesses, from approximately .040" up to 2" acrylic, depending on the material and color.

Yes. We provide laser cutting for detailed shapes and CNC routing for thicker materials and large-scale projects. Laser jobs are typically completed within 24 hours, and CNC within 4–5 business days.

Can I bring my own acrylic to be cut?

In many cases, yes. Please contact us first with details about your material so we can confirm compatibility with our equipment.
