Perspex and acrylic are among the most versatile materials available today. They’re lightweight, strong, weather-resistant and visually striking, making them ideal for signage, displays, protective screens, architectural models, retail installations and much more. Canberra Plastics offers a full suite of fabrication services to shape, cut, join, bend and finish acrylic materials to suit even the most detailed designs.

Our fabrication capabilities include:

• Laser cutting for crisp, precise edges
