What are Custom Acrylic Prints?
Acrylic is a hard, lightweight, and long-lasting plastic material. It has a glass-like, transparent appearance, but unlike glass it is shatter-proof.
This type of professional-grade acrylic also goes by the names Plexiglas, Acrylite, Lucite, and Perspex.
Our custom acrylic prints are printed directly onto high-quality acrylic. This allows a multitude of customizations like partially transparent displays and the ability to print high-resolution photos with luminous, full-range color. They are completely customizable, including custom-cut, color, design, finishes, and more.
Custom acrylic prints are able to be used both indoors and out. They can be used as business signs or beautifully showcase art. This type of material is a modern, low maintenance solution for long term displays.https://coastalcreative.com/product/canvas-photo-printing/
Top Benefits of Custom Acrylic Prints
For a powerful, eye-catching display, our custom acrylic prints are a great solution and offer multiple benefits to customers.
Acrylic prints fit a multitude of sign or visual display needs. Whether you want to create an outdoor sign showcasing your company logo and name or curate a gallery of high-quality art photos, these prints will bring life to whatever custom design you choose. Plus, we use UV resistant inks to ensure long-lasting vibrant colors whether you use them indoors or outdoors.
Our high-quality acrylic is water-resistant. So if water, coffee or any other liquid ends up on the print surface, you can simply wipe it away. This quality also makes custom acrylic prints a great display option for humid climates.
Acrylic prints are also lightweight, so can be mounted or hung from walls or ceilings without fear of destroying the drywall or support. Plus, they are easy to transport if you will be moving them to different locations or taking them with you to events.
Plus, the acrylic material is perfect for adding vinyl lettering, decals, or print films to feature temporary messages without ruining the entire print or having to print an entirely new custom print.

Print Options for Custom Acrylic Prints
Custom acrylic prints are especially unique because you can leave parts of the material transparent. This allows many unique customization options that can set off a design or even offer partial transparency. Speak with our design team if you have any questions about this feature.
Sizing for Custom Acrylic Prints
Our custom acrylic prints come in a variety of sizes and thickness options.
Thickness: We offer the standard 1⁄8″ thickness for most of our prints. Should you need a thicker acrylic for added durability, greater light refraction, and more visual depth, you can opt for the ¼” thick prints. We also recommend getting a thicker acrylic for larger prints. You can consult with us directly if you are unsure which thickness is right for you.
For all signs greater than 60”, we recommend a centered top and bottom drilled hole for optimal support. Acrylic signs do have some bendability to them, so ensuring they are properly supported is important.
Size: We offer a wide range of sizes, all of which can be custom cut to your preference. Sizes available can range from 4″ up to 96” (8’).
Installation
There are a number of installation options available for custom acrylic prints. Typically they are affixed to a rigid surface such as wood, drywall, metal, or concrete.
Our team offers a wide range of options. Often we include round standoffs or concealed cleats for hanging.
We also offer full back frames for prints over 24″ x 36″ so that the acrylic doesn’t bow or flex. The back frames are made from aluminum and include a cleat for hanging. Remember, back frames are an additional cost and the cost of all hanging options is completely dependent on what size prints you are buying and how many.
Lifespan of Custom Acrylic Prints
Custom acrylic prints are printed on high-quality, long-lasting professional grade acrylic. When cared for properly, it can last for more than ten years.
Generally, the lifespan will vary depending on the location. So if your print is located outside and must endure harsh weather and climate conditions, it will not last as long. The overall lifespan ranges from 5-10+ years.
Getting a laminate will increase the longevity of your sign and add a sleeker, glossier look. Plus, it will help to resist scratches.
For more temporary displays for trade shows or for presentations foam boards are a good option.
Caring for Your Custom Acrylic Prints
Our custom acrylic prints are designed to be long-lasting, however proper care is required to ensure that they remain in optimal shape and maintain their high quality.
The acrylic material can be easily scratched or chipped when it is not carefully handled. We package it carefully to make sure it is delivered to you in perfect condition. Be sure to exercise caution when moving it and cleaning it. Avoid all sharp objects and cover it with soft fabric or protective wrap when not using it to prevent accidental scratches.
Only use a gentle, non-abrasive cloth to clean the surface.

Reno Contracting –
Coastal Creative helped Reno Contracting on a number of unique projects. The team is super helpful in communicating the steps of each project and what materials would be best applied. Not only is the customer service impeccable, the company participates in numerous community events. Above and beyond in performance, Coastal Creative is a great partner and I would highly recommend Mark and his team.
Rosie Washington, Johnson Diving Company –
We loved it!!! Your boss was awesome at installing as well :). I want to thank you again for all your expertise and guidance with our work order. You made the ordering so much easier! We receive so many compliments, especially those who know what it is “SoCal Kelp Forest”!
Alex Yachi, InBody USA –
Mark and his team were very efficient, professional, and helpful throughout the entire process! I had no prior experience/knowledge on environmental design/signage until this project, so they advised me on what would work best, and I am so happy with the final product! I always appreciate working with vendors who are punctual and professional in their email communication and know what they are doing. The installation also went very smoothly! My company is located in LA County, and Mark and his team drove up to my location to install the signage and it only took 30 minutes, even though I had anticipated it would take at least an hour to install! The final product is sleek, clean, and exactly what I had envisioned. They also do custom pantone colors as well if you are looking to color match anything! Overall, it was a very pleasant experience working with the Coastal Creative team!
Matt Dorrance, Renovation Brands –
Working with Mark and his team was a complete pleasure. Very professional team offering friendly service with lots of knowledge about their craft. They made multiple suggestions that ultimately helped create the best possible signs for our three different locations. The signs themselves are top quality and look just the way we designed them. The combination of dibond backing & acrylic lettering created a visually appealing sign that we are proud to display in and on our buildings. Shipping across the country the signs arrived safely without any damage or issues. From start to finish – top notch service. Glad I found Coastal Creative and I would highly recommend them to anyone- they’ll take care of you right.
