High-quality acrylic printing

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.

Not everyone knows that Plexiglass is an extremely suitable material for printing. It offers excellent colour rendering and gives images a striking sense of depth, with an effect similar to glass while remaining more affordable, lightweight and shatterproof. Its transparency and its unique way of diffusing light make it ideal for visually impactful installations in shops, trade fair stands and exhibition spaces.

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.

Both finishes are available in 3 mm and 5 mm thicknesses, giving you the flexibility to choose the most suitable support for your project. Clear and opal Plexiglass are both ideal for informational panels, customised signs and decorative applications.

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.

You can choose from preset formats including 50 x 70 cm, 70 x 50 cm, 70 x 100 cm, 100 x 70 cm, 100 x 140 cm, 140 x 100 cm, 50 x 50 cm, 70 x 70 cm, 100 x 100 cm, 110 x 110 cm and 140 x 140 cm, or create a tailored project with the custom format option.

For 3 mm transparent and opal Plexiglass, the maximum printable dimensions on a single panel are 190 x 290 cm. For 5 mm transparent and opal Plexiglass, the maximum printable dimensions on a single panel are 120 x 198 cm. Beyond these sizes, the panel will be divided into multiple parts. The paneling will maintain equal proportions, but the final subdivision is defined during the production phase. Supported printing dimensions range from 14 x 14 cm up to a maximum of 100,000 x 100,000 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.

With clear Plexiglass, you can choose between solid white or selective white printing. Unlike solid white, selective white is applied only to the specific areas defined in your file, allowing certain transparent sections to remain visible for a more refined visual effect.

You can also choose between a square cut and a custom shape cut, with the latter following a precise path provided directly in your print file. The choice of holes or accessories must take the panel size into account, as not all sizes are compatible with every option; this is verified during the quote phase.

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:

• Choose the right Plexiglas: Clear Plexiglas is ideal for vibrant images with strong depth, while Opal Plexiglas is perfect for backlit graphics thanks to its semi-transparent finish.
• Select the right thickness: Both 3 mm and 5 mm options are available. They are sturdy, lightweight, and shatterproof.
• Use high-resolution images: This ensures your printed visuals are crisp and professional-looking. Adding white layers where needed can boost clarity and colour vibrancy.
• Customise your print: You can choose between rectangular and custom shapes, and even add 10 mm holes to make installation easier.
• Take advantage of our design tools: Create your layout with our free online Designer tool or request help from our professional graphic design team.

What can you create with acrylic printing?

Plexiglass printing is suitable for a wide range of uses. Thanks to its resistance outdoors, Plexiglass panels can be used as shop signs, directional signs and informational panels. They can last up to three years outdoors without the print being affected by weather conditions such as rain or sunlight. Indoors, they are an original decorative support for furnishing shops, personalising walls and enhancing exhibition spaces.

Plexiglass posters are also a popular option. You can print a favourite photograph, a landscape, or a graphic image to create a visually striking panel. Available from a single copy, these prints also make excellent personalised gifts.

Decorative acrylic prints are frequently used to transform interiors in a modern and cost-effective way. Just a few large-format prints can completely refresh a plain wall and add character to a retail space, office or home interior.
