Help!
I have a large order of posters that i am quoting for. Unfortunately they need to have plexi. They are 84cm x 60 cm.
I have contacted a supplier that has said over 80 x 60cm they recommend 3mm, which is double the price.
I have never used plexi before and so have no idea how it flexes compared to glass.
Can anyone advise me?!!!!
Many thanks in advance,
Sandra.

Re: Plexi
Hi ... as long as the frame has a decent rebate depth, 2mm Acrylic will be fine. We advise 3mm at about 1sq metre upwards.
We sell 2mm at £25/sq m (about Eu28) cut to size and delivered here in UK. That would give a price per piece for your size of £12 (Eu14)
We would not advise use of styrene sheet for this kind of work - it scratches too easily and is not as 'stiff' as acrylic (aka Perspex or PMMA).
All the best,
