Acrylic (PMMA) — often called lucite or plexiglass — is the most versatile material for custom trays. It offers glass-like clarity at half the weight, won't shatter when dropped, and can be laser-cut into any shape. Unlike wood or bamboo, acrylic can be made fully transparent to showcase bottom inserts, printed art, and branded designs underneath.
| Acrylic (PMMA) | Glass | Wood | Bamboo | Metal | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Clarity | 92% light transmission | 90% | Opaque | Opaque | Opaque |
| Weight | ~50% lighter than glass | Heavy | Medium | Light | Heavy |
| Shatter resistance | Won't shatter on drop | Fragile | Durable | Durable | Durable |
| Custom shapes | Laser-cut, CNC, thermoformed | Limited | CNC only | Limited | Stamped, welded |
| Bottom art/insert | Fully transparent — art visible through surface | Possible | Not possible | Not possible | Not possible |
| Branding | UV print, engrave, etch, hot stamp | Limited | Engrave, print | Engrave | Engrave, print |
| Water resistance | Fully waterproof | Waterproof | Requires sealing | Requires sealing | Rust-prone (steel) |
| Cost (custom) | Low–Medium | High | Medium | Low–Medium | Medium–High |
| Best for | Hospitality, vanity, décor, branded | Formal dining | Rustic settings | Casual / eco | Industrial |

Materials, Finishes & Specs
Every acrylic tray is built to your specifications. Choose from 3 handle styles, 4 decoration methods, 4 material types, and fully customizable dimensions, shapes, and bottom treatments.
Handle Styles
Metal Handles
Stainless steel or brass handles attached with hardware. Premium feel, strong grip. Popular for serving trays and hospitality use.
Cut-Out Handles
Handles carved directly into the acrylic for a seamless one-piece look. Clean, modern design. No hardware, no assembly — CNC-cut for precision.
No Handles
Clean edges with no handles. Minimal, elegant look. Most popular for vanity trays, decorative trays, and countertop displays.
Decoration Methods
Silk-Screen Printing
Cost-effective for single or multi-color logos and patterns. Ink is applied through a mesh screen for crisp, durable results.
UV Printing
Photo-quality, full-color graphics printed directly onto acrylic. Supports complex artwork, gradients, and photographic images on the tray bottom.
Laser Etching
Permanent, precise marking etched into the acrylic surface. Best for simple logos, text, and line art. Creates a frosted, tactile finish.
Hot Stamping
Gold, silver, or custom foil pressed onto the surface. Adds a metallic, premium accent — popular for luxury branding and gift trays.

Get a Custom QuoteWhat Affects Tray Pricing?
Acrylic tray pricing depends on six factors: size, quantity, material, handle style, bottom treatment, and printing or decoration. We don't publish fixed prices because every tray is custom — but here's what drives the cost so you can plan your budget.
Size & Thickness
Larger trays and thicker acrylic use more material. A 10"×7" vanity tray costs less than a 20"×14" serving tray of the same thickness.
Order Quantity
Unit cost drops significantly as quantity increases. 500 units costs less per piece than 50.
Material Type
Clear acrylic is standard pricing. Colored, frosted, and mirrored cost more.
Handle Style
No handles is the most economical. Cut-out handles add machining time. Metal handles add hardware and assembly cost.
Bottom Treatment
Solid bottoms are simplest. Insert slots (for swappable photos or artwork) require precision routing and add machining cost.
Printing & Decoration
Silk-screen printing is most economical for simple logos. UV printing supports complex full-color artwork. Laser etching and hot stamping add precision finishing cost.
Most custom acrylic trays fall within a predictable range once you lock in these six variables. Send us your specs and we'll give you an exact number — no ballpark, no surprises.

Businesses choose Wetop for tray manufacturing because of responsive communication, crystal-clear finishing quality, and low 50-piece minimums — backed by ISO 9001 certification and 18+ years of custom acrylic experience.
Custom-Built, Not Mass-Produced
No templates, no catalog limits. Send us a sketch, CAD file, or reference photo — our engineering team builds to your dimensions, shapes, handles, and branding. We operate 8 laser cutters, 4 CNC machines, and a dedicated diamond polishing line to handle any tray design.
Flawless Edges, Every Piece
Diamond-polished edges deliver optically clear finishes that make trays look like solid glass — without the weight or risk. Our polishing process eliminates micro-scratches invisible to the eye but visible under retail lighting. The result: trays that feel premium in hand and look premium on display.
From Prototype to Production in Days
Samples ship in 3–5 days. Bulk production runs 15–20 days. Our 5,000 m² Shenzhen facility scales from 50-unit test orders to 10,000-unit rollouts — same factory, same quality standards, same team.
We needed custom amenity trays for a hotel refit — clear acrylic, laser-etched logo, tight deadline. Samples came back in a few days, production well inside the window. Every tray matched the sample. We've reordered three times since.

What types of acrylic trays does Wetop manufacture?
We manufacture all types of acrylic trays including serving trays, vanity trays, and decorative trays. Shapes include rectangular, round, and custom. Handle options include metal handles, cut-out handles, or no handles. Every tray is custom-built to your specifications with a minimum order of 50 pieces.
Can you add custom artwork or photos to acrylic trays?
Yes. We offer two options: bottom insert trays with a slot that holds interchangeable printed artwork or photos, and printed-bottom trays where the design is permanently applied using UV printing or silk-screen printing. For simpler logos or patterns, laser etching and hot stamping are also available. For bottom-insert trays, we create a removable printed insert that slides into a slot — buyers can swap artwork seasonally or for different product lines. Send vector artwork (AI/EPS preferred) with exact insert dimensions and we'll confirm fit during sample stage.
What handle options are available for acrylic trays?
Three options: metal handles (stainless steel or brass, attached with hardware), cut-out handles (carved directly into the acrylic for a seamless one-piece look), and handleless designs (clean edges, popular for vanity and decorative use). Handle style is fully customizable to match your product's purpose.
What is the minimum order quantity for custom acrylic trays?
Our MOQ for acrylic trays is 50 pieces. This allows businesses of any size to order custom trays — from a boutique hotel testing amenity trays to a retail brand rolling out branded serving trays across locations.
How long does it take to produce custom acrylic trays?
Sample production takes 3–5 days. Once you approve the sample, bulk production runs 15–20 days depending on complexity and quantity. We ship FOB Shenzhen, with CIF and DDP options available.
How much do custom acrylic trays cost?
Pricing depends on five factors: size, quantity, material type, handle style, and bottom treatment. A simple rectangular tray without handles costs less than a round tray with metal handles and UV-printed bottom art. Send us your specs — we respond within 24 hours with a detailed quote.
What's the fastest timeline for a tray with custom bottom artwork?
Fastest route: approve vector artwork, rush sample in 3 days, approve the sample, then 15-day bulk production = 18 days total for a market deadline. We compress timelines for time-sensitive launches. If you need something in 10 days, contact us immediately with artwork and we'll confirm feasibility. Expedited timelines sometimes incur a rush fee — we'll quote it upfront.
Can I order bottom-insert trays where the artwork is interchangeable?
Yes. The tray features a slot on the bottom that holds a printed insert card. You approve the tray frame once; then you can swap artwork seasonally, for different product lines, or for different markets — without reordering trays. Insert cards are reprinted and shipped separately. Most clients order 500 trays and 5 different insert designs rotated through the year. Inserts are cheaper per-unit because they skip the tooling step.
Can you laser-etch my logo directly onto the acrylic instead of printing?
Yes. Laser etching creates a permanent frosted marking on the acrylic surface — no ink, no fading. It works best for simple logos (1–2 colors) and works on clear, colored, and frosted acrylic. Etching costs more than UV printing because it requires per-unit laser time. For intricate multi-color logos, UV printing is more economical. We'll recommend the best method during quoting.
