Acrylic and glass name plates are modern, elegant, and highly professional options for both corporate and personal use. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you understand the differences, uses, and key considerations.
Quick Comparison: Acrylic vs. Glass
| Feature | Acrylic (Plexiglass) | Glass (Often Crystal Glass) |
|---|---|---|
| Durability | High impact resistance. Less likely to shatter but can scratch. | Brittle. Can shatter on hard impact, but highly scratch-resistant. |
| Weight | Very light (about half the weight of glass). | Substantially heavier. |
| Clarity & Feel | Very clear, but can have a slight plastic sheen. Warm to the touch. | Exceptional, premium clarity and depth. Cool, luxurious feel. |
| Safety | Safer for high-traffic areas; if it breaks, it doesn’t shatter into sharp pieces. | Can be a safety hazard if broken. Can be tempered for safety. |
| Customization | Easier to cut, drill, and shape. More color/backing options (frosted, colored). | More complex to work with; edges are key (polished, beveled). |
| Cost | Generally more affordable than glass, especially in larger sizes. | More expensive due to material and processing costs. |
