Acrylic stands & holders: what to know

Acrylic is the default for anything that has to look considered without drawing attention to itself — a table menu, a counter notice, an office nameplate. It cuts cleanly, polishes to a glass-like edge, and costs a fraction of the glass it imitates while weighing a third as much.

The quality difference between a good acrylic stand and a bad one is almost entirely in the edges. A saw-cut edge is cloudy and slightly rough; a flame-polished or diamond-polished edge is transparent and sharp. It is the detail people register without naming, and it is the reason a cheap holder looks cheap from two feet away even when the material is identical.

We cut on our own laser and router, which means non-standard sizes cost a setup rather than a tooling charge, and a bespoke holder for an odd-sized card is a normal request rather than a special one.

  • Polished edges

    Flame or diamond polished as standard. It is the difference people see without being able to name.

  • Clear, frosted, brushed

    Clear disappears, frosted hides fingerprints, brushed metal-effect suits a reception wall.

  • Any size

    Cut in-house, so an odd-sized holder is a setup charge rather than a tooling conversation.

  • Printed or engraved

    Direct print for colour, laser engraving for something that will not wear off a nameplate.

Common questions

What thickness of acrylic do I need?
3mm for table menu holders and light counter signs, 5mm where it must feel substantial or span more than about A4, 10mm for standoff-mounted signage that should read as solid.
Will acrylic yellow over time?
Cast acrylic in interior use, no. Extruded acrylic in direct sunlight can, over years. We use cast for anything visible and specify UV-stable stock where a piece sits in a window.
Can you cut a custom size or shape?
Yes — everything is cut on our own laser and router. Send dimensions or a drawing; shaped pieces are routine rather than special.
How do I clean an acrylic stand?
Warm water and a microfibre cloth. Avoid alcohol and ammonia glass cleaners, which craze the surface over time — that fine web of cracks on old acrylic is almost always window cleaner.
