Clear acrylic sheet
Clear cast acrylic, cut to the size you need from 1/16 to 1 in. thick. It passes about 92% of visible light, slightly more than ordinary glass, at about half the weight. Cast sheet engraves bright white and bonds cleanly, so it's our pick for displays, signs, and anything you'll glue.

Questions
Is clear acrylic sheet food safe?
Clear sheet from major makers such as Acrylite and Plaskolite Optix is stated to comply with FDA 21 CFR 177.1010, except for foods over 8% alcohol. It suits room-temperature uses like serving trays and bakery displays, not cutting boards, ovens, or dishwashers.
What thickness of clear acrylic should I order?
1/8 in. is typical for frames and covers, 1/4 in. for signs, guards, and most panels, and 3/8 to 1/2 in. for shelves and table tops. Our shelf sag calculator and thickness guide help with anything that carries weight.
Is this cast or extruded acrylic?
This is cast acrylic. If you want plain cut parts at a lower price and don't need engraving or thick sheet, choose our clear extruded sheet in 1/16 to 1/2 in.
