Acrylic Fabrication

National Plastics and Seals (NPS) is an industry leader in manufacturing top-quality, custom-designed plastic acrylic displays. Our custom acrylic plastic fabrication products include everything from acrylic barriers, POP displays, and table tents to memorabilia cases, trophies, and brochure holders. We can handle the production of custom display products for a wide range of industries including retail, restaurants, healthcare, schools, and many more. 

What is Acrylic Fabrication

Shock-proof, light-weight acrylic is a see-through, durable alternative to glass that can be shaped, cut, and transformed into a wide variety of products. Acrylic is often chosen because it does not break as easily as glass, so it performs especially well in situations where glass would not. Submarine windows are a primary example of this, as a thick, clear acrylic window can provide the visibility needed while withstanding the high external operating pressures. 

The acrylic fabrication process includes all processes for creating the structures and shapes from raw acrylic plastic, resulting in the end product. The process begins with sheets of acrylic plastic cut using acrylic-specific blades like saber saws, routers, table saws, and plastic cutters. Additional relevant processes may include:

• Heat Bending
• Forming
• Printing

The finished acrylic products achieve a glossy, polished finish through the application of a hydrogen-oxygen torch. 

Acrylic Plastic Fabrication Applications

Items created through acrylic plastic fabrication that are used in countless everyday applications, such as:

• Automotive trim
• Exhibition displays for trade shows
• Museums (and other places where display cases are needed)
• Lenses
• Light fixtures
• POP displays
• Rear projection screens
• Signage
• Trophies
• Photo displays
• Protective barriers
• Windows (aquariums, pools, submarines, boats and ships, automobiles, etc.)

There has also been significantly increased demand for acrylic barriers because of their use as COVID-19 protection for public-facing essential workers. Acrylic barriers can be cut and shaped to virtually any client specifications.
