Sample ready in 3–5 days3
Receive Your Order
Every piece passes 100% inspection against your approved sample. Ships FOB Shenzhen; CIF and DDP available.
Production in 15–20 daysThese are the three buyer-side gates. For the detailed factory process behind each order, see our manufacturing process page.
Choose the Sample That Answers the Buying Question
A sample should close a named risk before production. We quote the smallest sample scope that can prove the material, appearance, fit, construction or packout decision holding up the order. Every physical sample is paid separately and never credited to production.
Fit or process sample
Use a representative part when the decision is slot clearance, mating geometry, edge finish, printing or engraving.
Production-intent sample
Use one finished unit with the approved material, construction, branding and packing when the complete product must be signed off.
What you receive: the agreed physical sample, process or artwork confirmation, approval photos or video before dispatch, and a recorded revision for the production file.
Timing: standard acrylic samples normally take 3–5 days after the brief and payment are approved. Complex multi-material or specialty programs are quoted separately.
After approval: the released sample and files become the production reference. Standard production normally takes 15–20 days after approval.
Everything Is Customizable
5 Ways to Brand Your Acrylic Products
Every branding method produces a different visual effect. Choosing the route depends on color count, design complexity, surface, approval method and budget. The comparison below applies each process to the same logo area.
| Method | Effect | Best For | Colors | Durability | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Silk-Screen | Solid color, sharp edges, vibrant | Logos, text, 1–3 color graphics | 1–6 per pass | Very high (abrasion-resistant) | Low |
| UV Printing | Photo-quality, full-color, gradients | Complex artwork, portraits, full-bleed designs; for second-surface tray work, use the bottom-print artwork and sample checklist | Full CMYK | High (UV-cured) | Medium |
| Hot Stamping | Metallic sheen in gold, silver or rose gold | Premium brand logos, award text, luxury products | 1 foil per pass | High | Medium-high |
| Laser Engraving | Permanent etch, tactile texture, frosted look | Serial numbers, fine text, anti-counterfeit marks | No color (etched) | Permanent | Low |
| Vinyl Graphics | Pre-cut or printed adhesive decal, smooth surface finish | Signage, window displays, temporary branding, outdoor use | Full color (printed) or solid (cut) | Medium (removable/replaceable) | Low |
Send the artwork, color target and visible-surface requirement. We will propose a process and quote the required proof or printed sample. For tray programs, the tray logo routing guide separates etching, full-color bottom printing and replaceable inserts by color, wear and artwork-change needs. A made-to-order stitched-canvas program uses the needlepoint acrylic tray blank guide to choose the blank format and canvas-capture route.
Edge Finishing & Assembly Methods
Edge quality and assembly technique affect appearance, fit and handling. The drawing and approved sample identify the selected finish and joining method.

Assembly Methods
Materials We Work With
Cast acrylic (PMMA) is the usual starting material for our fabrication work. We quote clear, colored, frosted, mirrored and specialty sheets by named grade and supplier availability. When a project requires a brand-color match, the quote and approval record identify the physical target, sheet grade, print method and viewing conditions.
Clear
Transparent sheet for products where visibility and edge appearance matter; the selected grade is named in the quote.
Best for: Display stands, cases, frames, sign holders
Colored
Standard colors plus custom brand-color matching against an approved physical sample.
Best for: Branded displays, retail fixtures, awards
Frosted
Diffused or matte appearance approved against a named sheet and physical sample.
Best for: Cosmetics displays, privacy panels, luxury packaging
Mirrored
Reflective surface, lightweight alternative to glass mirrors.
Best for: Cosmetics trays, decorative displays, wall fixtures
Glitter
Embedded sparkle particles for eye-catching visual effects.
Best for: Awards, ornaments, retail signage, event displays
UV-Filtering
Specialty grades are available for projects that need reduced UV exposure; wavelength performance is confirmed from the selected sheet's supplier data.
Best for: Art frames, collectible cases, archival displays

How We Build It
Cutting, CNC machining, polishing, bending, printing, assembly and inspection run under one roof in our 5,000 m² Shenzhen facility. These are the core processes used to turn acrylic sheet into finished custom products. For a fuller treatment, see our guides on what acrylic fabrication is and the six core acrylic fabrication techniques.
Laser Cutting
Drawing-controlled 2D profiles, slots, windows and registered cut paths for production parts from 100 pieces per design. Review the laser-cutting service workflow.
CNC Machining
Drawing-controlled routing, drilling, pockets and stepped geometry for production parts from 100 pieces per design. Review the CNC service workflow.
Edge Polishing
Diamond, flame or cloth polishing selected by edge geometry, named material and the approved appearance sample. Compare polishing routes.
UV & Screen Printing
UV print, silk-screen, foil and engraving routes selected by artwork, color, surface, quantity and the approved proof. Compare branding methods.
Heat Bending & Thermoforming
Line-bent angles and formed curves released against the buyer drawing, named sheet and approved sample. Review the forming decisions.
Assembly & QC
Bonding, specified hardware, labeling and protective packing controlled by the released sample and inspection record. See the quality-control workflow.
Process Capability Matrix
| Process | What It Does | Tolerance / Spec Notes | Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| CNC Machining | 3D shaping, routing, drilling, pockets and stepped geometry | Drawing-specific limits and inspection method confirmed before sampling | Frames, blocks, tray inserts, precision-fit bases |
| Laser Cutting | Flat-sheet profiles, complex curves, fine detail | Profile limits, edge acceptance and register controlled by drawing and cut sample | Display stands, sign holders, standees |
| Line Bending & Thermoforming | Heat-bent angles and formed curves without joints | Material, bend line, radius and appearance released against a sample | Brochure holders, risers, curved displays |
| Solvent Bonding | Joins compatible panels into a bonded assembly | Joint design, visible zone and acceptance sample control the route | Boxes, display cases, permanent assemblies |
| Diamond & Flame Polishing | Changes the appearance and texture of cut edges | Edge geometry, material and approved appearance sample control the route | Display cases, frames, awards |
| UV Printing | Full-color graphics printed directly on acrylic | Artwork, surface, color target and proof determine the quoted print setup | Branded displays, artwork panels, multi-design batches |
| Laser Engraving | Creates a frosted mark in the acrylic surface | Use a proof to approve mark depth, legibility and appearance | Logos, serial marks, anti-counterfeit features |
| Pantone Color Matching | Custom-colored sheet matched to your brand color | Matched against an approved physical target; proofing method and any setup charge are stated in the quote | Brand programs, corporate colors, retail fixtures |
Most sheet-fabricated orders carry no mold-tooling fee. The quote identifies any CNC programming, cut-test, print-screen, jig, or proofing setup before you approve the sample. Use the zero-tooling CNC versus molded guide to separate mold cost from project-specific setup.

Send your reference product, drawing or sketch. We will identify the closest process route and the decisions needed before sampling.
Quote a Similar ProjectWhy Customization Works Better Under One Roof
Wetop runs cutting, CNC machining, polishing, bending, printing, assembly and inspection in one 5,000 m² Shenzhen facility. One released file set can therefore control the drawing, artwork, sample, production and inspection record without passing the specification between unrelated suppliers.
| Factor | Outsourced Model | Wetop In-House |
|---|---|---|
| Communication | You → Factory → Subcontractor → Factory → You | You → Wetop (one contact, one thread) |
| Sample Speed | Depends on the schedules and handoff rules of each supplier | Standard paid sample target: 3–5 days after approval |
| Quality Control | Different standards at each stop | In-house process and project records under one documented quality system; verify the requested scope with the supplier audit checklist |
| Design Changes | Change one parameter → re-coordinate with all subcontractors | One revision record can be reviewed across the affected processes |
| Cost Structure | Each supplier quotes its own scope and handoff | One quote identifies material, process, setup, packing and shipping scope |
What to verify in a supplier audit
Ask who owns the released drawing, where each process is performed, how revisions reach the floor, what the sample approves, and which inspection record will travel with the order. The supplier audit checklist turns those questions into an evidence request.
What Drives Custom Acrylic Pricing?
Six factors determine a custom fabrication quote: size, material, quantity, finishing, complexity and packaging. The price is calculated against the released specification, so the quote can show which input moves the number.
Size & Dimensions
Material use changes with the finished envelope, sheet layout, thickness and whether the product is cut as one part or assembled from several panels.
Material Type
Clear cast acrylic is the baseline. Colored, frosted, mirrored, and UV-filtering sheets carry supplier- and grade-specific premiums, which we identify in the material line of the quote.
Order Quantity
The biggest single cost lever. Programming and setup costs spread across more units. At the 100-piece production floor, setup is a meaningful part of unit cost. At 500 pieces, it is much smaller. At 5,000+ pieces, optimized cutting layouts reduce material waste further. The <a href='/guide/moq-50-pieces-economics/'>MOQ economics guide</a> separates fixed setup from per-unit material and labor.
Finishing & Branding
Artwork, color count, print coverage, proofing, edge route and visible-surface requirements determine the quoted finishing setup and unit work.
Structural Complexity
Part count, bonding, formed geometry, hardware pockets, fit checks and inspection scope determine the production sequence and labor in the quote.
Packaging & Shipping
Bulk packing, retail boxes, foam inserts, labels and pallet requirements are quoted against the final packout. FOB Shenzhen and DDP can be shown as separate scopes for factory-price and landed-cost review.
If the project combines several cost drivers, send the current brief and target quantity tiers. We will identify the input that moves the quote most.
Get Your Project Quotewe respond within 24 hoursFrequently Asked Questions
Can I order custom acrylic products without a CAD file?
Yes. Start with a sketch, reference photo or rough description. Add dimensions, quantity, material preference and branding details. Our engineering team creates a production drawing for approval before fabrication begins. If you already have production CAD, the CAD and DXF file preparation guide separates DXF profile files from STEP geometry and records controlling dimensions.
Can I change the design after approving a sample?
Yes, before bulk production begins. A change to dimensions, material, artwork, construction, fit or appearance may require a revised drawing, proof or paid sample. We identify the revised scope, timing and any setup charge before work resumes, then release production only after written approval.
What if the quote comes in over my budget?
Tell us your target price and we will show which specification inputs move the number. Common review points include material thickness where the structure allows it, part count, print route, quantity tier and packing scope. The seven display value-engineering levers show how to document those tradeoffs. Every approved change remains visible in the revised quote and drawing.
Does the 100-piece MOQ apply per design, or across my whole order?
MOQ is 100 pieces per design. A different printed artwork, shape, or size counts as a separate design, so quantities do not combine to clear the production floor. UV printing avoids screen plates and keeps artwork-change setup lower, but each design still needs 100 pieces for production. Use a paid sample to validate secondary designs before committing. Custom color matching may add material-sourcing and proofing setup; we state that charge in the quote.
Can I get pricing before my artwork and dimensions are final?
Yes. Send a reference photo, target size range and the quantity tiers under review. We can return an estimate against stated assumptions within 24 hours and identify which inputs still control the number. Final pricing is confirmed against the released dimensions, material, construction, artwork, packing and destination before sample production.
Can you help me choose between material options (clear vs frosted vs colored) for my product?
Yes. We compare visibility, surface appearance, color target, cleaning method, structural need and supplier availability before naming the material in the quote. If the decision is visual, request sample comparisons in the top two options before bulk production. More ordering questions about sample fees, payment, shipping and tolerances are answered on our full FAQ page.
What information is required for a custom acrylic fabrication quote?
Send the controlled dimensions, quantity per design, application, material or appearance target, critical tolerances, print or engraving artwork, assembly requirements, packaging, and destination. A sketch or reference photo is enough to start when you label the dimensions and identify what must fit, move, or align.
Should my acrylic part be laser-cut or CNC-machined?
Laser cutting suits sheet profiles and fast repeated outlines; CNC machining suits pockets, countersinks, stepped geometry, and controlled edge features. Thickness, edge requirement, tolerance, quantity, and visible surfaces determine the route. We state the proposed process on the quote and approval drawing.
How should I specify tolerances and critical dimensions?
Mark the dimensions that control fit, alignment, movement, or mating parts and state the acceptable range for each. Do not apply one tight tolerance to the whole drawing. We review whether the requested tolerance matches the process and confirm the inspection method before sampling.
Can I approve a paid prototype before the production MOQ?
Yes. A paid sample normally takes 3–5 days after the drawing and artwork are approved. Use it to check dimensions, fit, color, print, surface finish, assembly, and packaging; the 100-piece production run begins only after written sample approval and the agreed payment gate. The prototype-to-production bridge lists the release records to carry into bulk production.
Does Wetop provide full industrial design services?
No. We provide design-for-manufacture review, production drawings, material and process recommendations, and revisions needed to make a defined product buildable. Product strategy, user research, industrial-design concept development, certification design, and ownership of the product brief remain with the buyer or their designer.
Which approved file controls custom acrylic production?
The released production drawing and artwork revision control cutting, machining, print position, assembly, and inspection. If a later file changes a dimension, material, construction, or visual requirement, we issue a revised approval set and assess whether another paid sample is needed before production.
