High-quality acrylic printing
Plexiglass is a shatter-proof material often used as an alternative to glass due to its extreme toughness and lightness. It is available either clear or opal: both are perfectly suited for printing fittings and furnishings, as well as information panels for shops or trade fair stands. The transparency of Plexiglass and the unique way it diffuses light make this material ideal for unconventional and striking installations.

Customised acrylic printing tailored to your tastes
Printing on acrylic is an effective and elegant way to decorate your home or workspace with artwork or graphics. The transparency of printed acrylic sheets brings the colours out and achieves excellent depth, enhancing images and making for impactful communications. Not only is the material resistant and shatterproof, it is also lightweight and easy to mount. Acrylic printing is often used for information panels, furnishings and plaques.
Which materials can you choose for acrylic printing?
With Pixartprinting’s acrylic printing service, there are two different materials available in two thicknesses (3 mm or 5 mm), both of which are shatterproof. The Clear Plexiglass is a clear polymethyl methacrylate panel, while the Opal Plexiglass is an opal polymethyl methacrylate panel that has an opaque design, making it suitable for backlighting.
Acrylic printing sizes
Our printed acrylic sheets are available in over 10 standard sizes or you can choose your own custom format and enter your preferred dimensions. The smallest possible size is 14 cm x 14 cm, while the maximum width is 290 cm and the maximum height is 150 cm.
Acrylic printing options and accessories
Your options for printing on acrylic depend on the type of Plexiglass you choose. Solid or selective white printing is available with the clear Plexiglass, to bring out the images and enhance the artwork, while a scratch-resistant varnish can be applied to the opal Plexiglass if desired but white printing is not available. With both materials, you can choose a standard rectangular shape or select your own custom shape for a more unique printed acrylic sheet. 10 mm holes can also be added to the perimeter of the print to make it easier to install.

Tips for printing on acrylic sheets
To get the best results from your acrylic printing project, it's important to choose the right material and prepare your design file correctly. Here are some useful tips:
