Acrylic blocks offer several important and useful advantages over glass and other materials:

• Crystal-clear transparency (up to 92% light transmission)
• Lightweight compared to glass
• Strong and impact-resistant
• Smooth, polished appearance
• Easy to work with and customise
• Simply maintenance and recyclable

There are various reasons for choosing acrylic instead of glass. Safety, workability and weight are the main reasons. Acrylic can also hardly be distinguished with the naked eye from glass, and is just as transparent as glass.

✓ Safe to use

Acrylic blocks are much safer than glass and don’t shatter into sharp pieces if they break. This makes acrylic a safer choice, especially in environments where accidents or collisions are more likely.

✓ Easy to work with

Acrylic is a lot easier to process than glass. If you’re planning to buy acrylic blocks and create something yourself, you may find it easier to work with. Acrylic blocks can be cut, drilled and shaped using standard tools, making them suitable for custom projects and fabrication.

✓ Lightweight

Acrylic blocks are significantly lighter than glass, making them easier to handle and install. This is particularly beneficial for large-scale applications or projects where weight is an important consideration.

✓ Transparent or coloured

Acrylic blocks offer an exceptional clarity of around 92%, which is comparable to glass. This means they let a lot of light through, making them ideal for applications where brightness and visibility are important. But of course, you can also choose acrylic in a colour such as (opal) white or black.

Choosing the right acrylic block depends on how you will use it:

• 10mm–15mm is ideal for smaller display pieces, acrylic stamp blocks and lightweight applications
• 20mm–30mm is better for premium displays, acrylic photo blocks, signage or larger blocks

Thicker blocks provide a high-end appearance, a good choice if you’re planning retail or presentation use.

Acrylic blocks are a good choice when a clean, high-quality finish is important. Common examples include:

• Retail and product displays
• Signage and branding blocks
• Photo blocks and print mounting
• Awards and presentation pieces
• Unique interior decoration and design features
• Acrylic stamp blocks and crafting projects
• Industrial applications

Acrylic photo blocks

Clear acrylic blocks are often used to create modern photo blocks and freestanding picture displays. The crystal-clear finish enhances printed photographs, artwork and promotional graphics, while the solid thickness gives a premium, high-end appearance. Acrylic photo blocks are popular for home décor, gifts, exhibitions and retail displays.

Acrylic stamp blocks

Acrylic blocks are also widely used as stamp blocks for card making, scrapbooking and other craft activities. The transparent material allows users to see exactly where a stamp is being positioned, helping to improve accuracy and alignment. Their smooth surface, durability and ease of cleaning make acrylic blocks a popular choice for stamping projects.

We offer both clear and coloured acrylic blocks to suit different applications:

• Clear acrylic blocks: crystal-clear finish, ideal for acrylic photo blocks and stamp blocks for crafting
• Coloured acrylic blocks: available in opal white blocks for display, or black and white for decorative use

All options are available cut to size.
