Custom Acrylic Printing

Acrylic Printing on Clear and Opal Plexiglass

Printing on acrylic is one of the most effective ways to create striking visuals for both decorative and commercial applications. The transparency of printed acrylic brings colours to life with excellent depth and vibrancy, giving images an almost glass-like quality — while remaining far more lightweight, affordable and shatterproof. At Pixartprinting, our acrylic printing service lets you customise every aspect of your panel, from material and thickness to size, shape and finish, all ordered online in just a few clicks.

Whether you need informational panels for a shop or trade fair stand, decorative prints for an office or retail interior, or bold signage for outdoor use, acrylic prints deliver a premium result that commands attention. Plexiglass is weather-resistant and durable, making it equally suited to indoor and outdoor installations, and its unique way of diffusing light makes it the material of choice for backlit displays and unconventional visual installations.

Materials for Acrylic Printing: Clear, Opal and Backlit Plexiglass

Our plexiglass printing service is available across five material options, each suited to different applications and environments. All materials are shatterproof polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) panels, available in either 3 mm or 5 mm thickness:

• Clear Plexiglass 3 mm: A transparent panel that delivers vivid colour and striking depth. Printed in mirror image on the reverse — simply send your file in standard orientation and we'll mirror it before printing. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Maximum panel size: 150 x 290 cm. Minimum size: 14 x 14 cm.
• Clear Plexiglass 5 mm: The same transparent finish as the 3 mm option, with added rigidity for larger formats or more demanding installations. Also printed in mirror image on the reverse. Maximum panel size: 120 x 198 cm. Minimum size: 14 x 14 cm.
• Opal Plexiglass 3 mm: An opaque panel that diffuses light beautifully, making it ideal for backlit graphics and signage. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Maximum panel size: 150 x 290 cm. Minimum size: 14 x 14 cm.
• Opal Plexiglass 5 mm: A rigid, slightly satin-finished panel with a clean and elegant look, perfect for decorative and communication applications. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Maximum panel size: 120 x 198 cm. Minimum size: 14 x 14 cm.
• Backlit Opal Plexiglass 5 mm: Specifically designed for backlit installations. Its opaque finish diffuses light evenly, bringing out the printed image with maximum impact. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Maximum panel size: 120 x 198 cm. Minimum size: 14 x 14 cm.

Printed Acrylic Sizes: Standard Formats and Custom Dimensions

Our acrylic prints are available in over ten standard sizes or as a fully custom format — simply enter your preferred dimensions. Standard sizes include: 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.

The minimum printable size is 14 x 14 cm. For 3 mm Plexiglass panels, the maximum size on a single panel is 150 x 290 cm; for 5 mm panels, it is 120 x 198 cm. For projects exceeding these dimensions, the design will be divided into multiple panels of equal proportions during the production phase.

Finishes and Options for Your Acrylic Printing Order

Depending on the material you choose, a range of finishing options are available to enhance your printed acrylic panels:

• Solid White: A full layer of white ink applied to the entire printing surface. Can be used on its own or as a base for printing to ensure colours appear vivid and true, preventing the material colour from dulling the design. Available on Clear Plexiglass only.
• Selective White: White ink applied only to specific areas defined in your file, allowing certain transparent sections to remain visible. Ideal for designs that incorporate the transparency of the material as part of the visual effect. Available on Clear Plexiglass only.
• Scratch-Resistant Varnish: A protective gloss varnish applied at the end of the printing process to guard against scratches and UV light, extending the life of your print.

Custom Shape Cutting for Acrylic Prints

For printing on acrylic, you can choose between two cut options to suit your project:

• Rectangular: A straight cut around the edge of the print — the standard option for most applications.
• Custom Shape: A shaped cut that follows a path included in your print file, allowing you to create uniquely shaped panels that stand out from the crowd.

Accessories and Hanging Kits for Acrylic Printing Panels

To make installation as simple as possible, we offer a range of accessories compatible with our acrylic prints:

• Holes: 9 mm diameter holes positioned around the perimeter of the panel, useful for wall mounting or hanging with screws or fixings.
• Double-Sided Adhesive Hanging Kit: An ultra-strong adhesive system with an interlocking design for easy panel attachment and removal. Screws and wall plugs included. Distance from wall: 5 mm.
• Adjustable Hanging Kit: An invisible kit that allows you to adjust the panel angle up to 45° for a perfectly straight finish. Wall screws and plugs included. Distance from wall: 15 mm.
• Classic Spacer Kit: Silver-coloured aluminium spacers with a self-locking screw cap (outer diameter: 13 mm, total length: 23 mm, distance from wall: 19 mm). Quick and simple to install — ideal for plaques, signs and display panels.

What Can You Create with Acrylic Printing?

Plexiglass printing is suited to a remarkably wide range of applications. Outdoors, printed acrylic panels make excellent shop signs, directional signs and informational displays — and thanks to their weather-resistant properties, they can last up to three years outside without the print being affected by rain or sunlight. Indoors, they are a popular choice for decorating retail spaces, offices and exhibition stands, as well as for personalised home décor.

Plexiglass posters are a particularly striking option: print a favourite photograph, landscape or graphic image to create a panel that transforms any wall. Available from a single copy, they also make excellent personalised gifts. For commercial environments, backlit opal panels create dramatic illuminated displays that draw the eye and elevate brand presence.
