Retail

Acrylic plastic – and especially Perspex – is ideally suited to a huge range of diverse applications within retail, thanks to its chemical properties, competitive price points, and wide availability of colours and finishes - including clear, coloured, cast, extruded and mirrored. We supply an extensive range of plastic and acrylic materials to all members of the retail industry, from sole traders to High Street chains – and everything in between.

Plastic is strong, durable and shock-resistant, which makes it suitable for high footfall in-store areas, where health & safety is paramount. However, it’s also lightweight, making it easy to transport, handle and install. Because it can be laser cut, shaped and engraved, it’s perfect for customisation, bespoke installations and interior design. This combination of qualities makes plastic the go-to material of choice for point of sale, retail displays, product displays, merchandising and shelving, branding, store architecture, shop fittings, shop fixtures – and even mirrors and lighting.

Plastic isn’t suitable solely for indoor retail design concepts either. Thanks to its superior weathering properties and resistance to UV rays, it can also be used for exterior retail applications such as signage, glazing and shop fascias.
