Plastic Sheet

Plastic sheet is a premium quality product, often referred to as Perspex, Plexiglas or Acrylic. The use of plastic sheets has expanded in a wide range of domestic and commercial applications. Depending on the type of plastic, it is commonly used in glazing, signage, POS and retail displays. However, you can also find it in furniture design, lighting, roofing and exhibit enclosures.

The Main Benefits of Plastic Sheet
