Collection: Coloured acrylic - by colour

Coloured acrylic for laser cutting

Coloured acrylic for laser cutting is the collection for colour, effect, and finish within the broad Acrylic collection. Use this page when you already know that the final result shouldn't just be clear and transparent, but needs colour, light diffusion, reflection, a matte appearance, or specific lettering colours.

Colour as the main choice

Coloured acrylic is the basic choice for coloured sheets. Tinted acrylic combines transparency with colour. White acrylic and black acrylic are logical choices when the sheet needs to be calm, opaque, or high-contrast. Within this group, you first choose based on appearance: visible colour surface, transparent tint, light diffusion, reflection, matte finish, or signage colour.

Comparing effect variants

Opal acrylic has a semi-transparent, milky appearance and subtly diffuses light. Mirror acrylic consists of a transparent acrylic base with a reflective coating on one side. Fluorescent acrylic is coloured throughout and makes edges glow strikingly. Matte acrylic and the satin variants feature a finely frosted finish for less glare. Acrysign is an opaque PMMA sheet with one matte and one glossy side, geared towards letters, POS material, and branding.

When to go back to the broad Acrylic collection?

Go back to Acrylic if you are still deciding between clear transparent, XT, coloured, opal, mirror, matte, or Acrysign. This page is especially useful once colour or effect is your main choice. If you are looking for non-PMMA plastics such as Mylar film, PET-G, or PET felt, go to Plastics & films.

Typical application areas

Coloured acrylic is often considered for signage, displays, decorative parts, personalization, labels, interior details, and presentation materials. Use the collection to choose the effect, and then go to the product page for exact colours, thicknesses, and sizes. For small colour and effect tests, the MakerBox acrylic is a logical next step.

Ordering by effect

First, determine what the material should do visually: show colour, soften light, reflect, reduce glare, make edges glow, or form letters. Then choose the appropriate product and view the available variants.
