Available in clear, transparent, translucent and opaque colors.   Advantages Available in many colors and thicknesses Finishes well. Can be sanded and smoothed. Edges can be frosted or polished. It is solid, non-porous and easily painted Disadvantages Can be brittle in wrong applications. Unpainted acrylic has that "plastic" look.

Specialty products include: non-glare and matte finish, fluorescent colors and black/white (looks black during the day, then at night, with back lighting, it looks white)   One of acrylic’s advantages over PVC is the solid edges. For this reason, acrylic is an excellent choice when the graphics will have rounded over or beveled edges.   Acrylic is an obvious choice for internally lit cabinet signs. For that “extra touch,” use thick acrylic push-thru letters.
