Plastic Sheet for Hobbyists, Makers and Small Craft Projects

Not every project needs a full sheet. Model makers, jewellery makers, resin artists and craft hobbyists often just need a handful of small, precisely cut pieces in a specific colour or finish, which is exactly the kind of order that gets overlooked by suppliers set up for trade quantities.

Perspex Online cuts acrylic, mirror and foam PVC sheet to any size, from a single small offcut for a weekend project through to a batch of identical shapes for a market stall or classroom activity.

Which Sheet Suits Your Project

Clear and coloured acrylic sheet suits picture frames, resin art bases, jewellery displays and light-catching decorations, while acrylic mirror sheet is popular for craft mosaics, dance studio project pieces and reflective decor accents.

Perspex Opal and Perspex Frost give a soft, diffused look that works well for backlit signs, night lights and lamp shades, and lightweight PVC foam board is ideal for model bases, sign blanks and display stands that need to be cut and painted easily.

Small Quantities and Odd Shapes Are No Problem

We are happy to cut small quantities, including a single piece, and can nest odd or irregular shapes efficiently from offcuts to keep costs reasonable for hobby-scale orders.

If you are working from a template, a hand-drawn shape, or a photo of a design you want replicated, send it through and we will confirm whether it can be laser-cut or CNC-routed.

Laser-Cut Detail for Signs, Models and Decorations

Laser cutting gives clean, detailed edges for intricate shapes, lettering, and fine patterns that would be difficult to achieve by hand, making it a good fit for personalised signs, model kits, jewellery blanks and decorative panels.

We can also engrave text or artwork into the surface of acrylic or mirror sheet, adding a personalised touch to gifts, awards or display pieces without needing a separate engraving tool.

Ordering Craft-Sized Sheet and Cut Parts

Tell us the material, size and shape you are after, or upload a design file, and we will quote your craft or hobby project the same way we quote a full trade order.

All cutting is done on the Gold Coast and shipped Australia-wide, priced ex GST. Get a quote for your next arts and crafts project.

Yes, we can laser-engrave text, logos or artwork into the surface as part of the cutting job.
