Acrylic Signs: Custom, Personalised Acrylic Signs for Businesses, Offices and Shops, Made to Measure in the UK

A sign is often the first piece of your business someone touches, reads or walks past. Acrylic makes that first impression count.

It has a glossy, crisp finish that looks premium, takes print and colour beautifully, and gives reception walls, shop interiors and office doors that polished, professional look. It's why acrylic is one of the most popular materials for business signs, logo signs and name plates in the UK.

We design and make custom acrylic signs in our own High Wycombe workshop: wall signs, door signs, logo signs, reception signs, name plates and notice boards. Send your artwork and we check it for free. You get a proof to approve and an honest ready-by time.

Acrylic Signs

What is Acrylic Sign

An acrylic sign is a sign made from acrylic sheet, a rigid, glossy plastic that's often searched for as Perspex or plexiglass. It can be clear, frosted, white, black, or coloured, and it can be printed, cut, engraved, or fitted with raised lettering. Because it's smooth, strong, and easy to shape, it suits both simple nameplates and bold statement logos. (CONFIRM: brand-name wording, as Perspex and Plexiglas are trade names)

The result is a sign that looks sharp up close, which is why acrylic is such a favourite for reception areas, offices, clinics, salons, shop interiors, and hospitality. It's also a good choice for plastic signs that need to look better than the basic kind.

Why Choose Acrylic Signs?

  • A premium, professional finish: The smooth, glossy surface and clean edges make a business look established and detail-conscious.

  • Crisp, vibrant print and colour: Acrylic holds colour and fine detail well, so logos, text, and photographs look sharp. (CONFIRM: print method and inks)

  • Lots of looks: Clear, frosted, white, black, or coloured. Printed on the front or the back. Flat fixed or lifted off the wall on standoffs. (CONFIRM: colours and options offered)

  • Strong and long-lasting: Acrylic is tougher than glass and resists yellowing and fading better than many plastics. (CONFIRM: durability and UV-resistance claims)

  • Works indoors and in sheltered outdoor spots: Ideal for reception walls, office doors, shop interiors, and covered entrances. (CONFIRM: outdoor suitability and weather-resistance claims)

  • Made to measure: Any size, any shape, any layout. From a small door sign to a large logo panel. (CONFIRM: maximum size and custom shapes)

How to Order Your Acrylic Sign

  1. Tell us what you need: Size, colour, quantity, and where it's going.

  2. Send your artwork: Upload your logo as a vector file if you can (PDF, AI, or EPS), or send your wording and we'll help shape it. We also accept JPG and PNG. (CONFIRM: design service and cost)

  3. Approve your proof: We check your artwork for free and send a proof. Nothing is made until you say so.

  4. We make and finish it: Printed or cut, polished, and quality-checked in our workshop.

  5. Collect it or have it delivered: Ready from High Wycombe at the time we promised. (CONFIRM: delivery options, areas, installation, and fixings supplied)

Tips for an Acrylic Sign That Looks Great

  • Send a vector logo: PDF, AI, or EPS files give the sharpest print and cut.

  • Choose a bold font: Thicker letters cut cleanly and read from further away.

  • Think about the wall behind it: Clear acrylic shows the colour of the wall, so test it first. Black or white acrylic gives more control.

  • Pick the right fixing: Standoffs give a modern, floating look, and adhesive gives a flush finish. Tell us your wall type and we'll advise.

  • Mind the finish: Gloss shows fingerprints and reflections, and frosted is calmer and softer.

  • Check local rules: Shop and fascia signs, and signs on listed buildings or in conservation areas, may need advertisement consent from your local council.

12 questions
What are acrylic signs?

Acrylic signs are signs made from acrylic sheet, a rigid, glossy plastic also sold as Perspex or plexiglass. They can be printed, cut, engraved or fitted with raised letters, and they give a premium finish that suits offices, shops, clinics and reception areas.

Link to this answer
What is the difference between acrylic, Perspex and plexiglass?

They're essentially the same material. Acrylic is the general name, and Perspex and Plexiglas are well-known brand names for acrylic sheet. When you search for any of them, you're looking for the same glossy, rigid sign material.

Link to this answer
Can acrylic signs be used outdoors?

Yes, in the right setting. Acrylic copes well in sheltered outdoor spots such as covered entrances. For long-term exposed outdoor use, aluminium or Dibond is a stronger choice. We'll recommend the right material for your site.

Link to this answer
How are acrylic signs fixed to the wall?

Usually with standoffs that lift the sign slightly off the wall, or with strong adhesive pads for a flush finish. We can advise on the right fixing for brick, plaster, glass or render.

Link to this answer
Can you make a custom acrylic sign from my logo?

Yes, in most cases. We check your logo and tell you if any detail needs adjusting. A vector file gives the best result.

Link to this answer
What colours and finishes are available?

Clear, frosted, white, black and a range of colours, in gloss or matt. We'll show options on your proof.

Link to this answer
What thickness should I choose?

3mm suits small door signs and indoor panels. 5mm is the all-rounder for most wall and reception signs. 10mm and thicker give statement signs real presence. We'll help you choose.

Link to this answer
What sizes can you make?

From A5 name plates to large panels, cut to measure. Tell us your dimensions and we'll confirm what's possible and the price.

Link to this answer
What file format should I send?

PDF is best, and vector files give the sharpest results. We also accept AI, EPS, JPG and PNG. We check every file for free and tell you straight away if anything needs fixing.

Link to this answer
How much do acrylic signs cost?

Price depends on size, thickness, colour and finish. Because every sign is made to order, we quote each one clearly. Send your dimensions and we'll give you a price with no obligation.

Link to this answer
How long does an acrylic sign take?

It depends on size and finish. We always give you an honest timeline up front, and we'll tell you before you order if your date isn't realistic.
