This is where acrylic becomes particularly fun for creators.
You aren't limited to plain, solid colours.
Gloss acrylic
Gloss acrylic has a shiny, smooth surface.
It's a great all-rounder for signs, décor, jewellery and layered projects.
Matte acrylic
Matte acrylic has a softer, non-shiny surface.
It can give your projects a more contemporary, understated or premium appearance.
Matte finishes are particularly beautiful when you want your design to feel less reflective.
Mirror acrylic
Mirror acrylic has a reflective surface that creates a completely different look.
Popular uses include:
- Wedding décor
- Cake toppers
- Signs
- Names
- Christmas decorations
- Jewellery
- Layered signage
Mirror acrylic can also be combined with other colours to create eye-catching layered designs.
Glitter acrylic
Glitter acrylic has sparkle incorporated into the sheet.
Depending on the product, glitter can range from subtle fine glitter through to larger, chunkier effects.
It's particularly popular for:
- Children's products
- Cake toppers
- Christmas décor
- Jewellery
- Party décor
- Names and signs
Clear acrylic
Clear acrylic has a glass-like appearance while being lighter and generally more impact-resistant than glass.
It can be used for:
- Signs
- Displays
- Protective panels
- Layered designs
- Photo products
- Invitations and event décor
Clear acrylic can also be combined with vinyl, paint, engraving or other materials.
