Subject: 3mm sheet acrylic - who needs some?
Print | Individual message | Show original | Report this message | Find messages by this author

I emailed Trent Plastics about their acrylic sheet.
They do A3 for £3.52 and offer free cutting service (so can cut A3 down to
A4 FOC).
For 100 sheets, they said cost would be £350 and delivery would be £25
(so not much less than the prices on their website
http://www.trentplastics.co.uk/online/index.php?act=viewCat&catId=13)
Even if we don't get the full 100 sheets, prices will be near enough £3.50
per A3 (£1.75 per A4) which is considerably cheaper than most other
stockist/suppliers. I'm looking to buy 10-15 sheets in various colours.

Anyone else interested in joining in for a bulk order?
We could have them delivered to the 'space, or I could bring them down if
they are sent here.

Me,

I have not used acrylic much in the last year, so I am in for say 20 3mm sheets.

I will get a colour list soon.

I'd like to see a colour list too. And to know whether that price is just for solid colours or also includes tints and frosts - I like tints and frosts.

I'd probably be in for 5 sheets if It's all solid colour or 10 if it could include translucent colours.

Follow the link at the bottom of the email for colours/catalogue. Here's
their homepage:
<http://www.trentplastics.co.uk/online/index.php?act=viewCat&catId=13>http://www.trentplastics.co.uk/online/index.php
I did ask for some cheeky off-cuts, but they sell them on anyway (their
ebay shop has a selection of small sample pieces)

They sell tinted for the same price
http://www.trentplastics.co.uk/online/index.php?act=viewCat&catId=14

They also have mirrored but it's more expensive per sheet.
On their ebay site they also sell samples of tinted mirror, but I've not
seen that on their main site.
There is a frosted section on the site, but it's empty at the minute.

I've been burning through acrylic quite quickly of late with my
/guestioneering /method of making things (I bought some 3mm mdf for
prototyping but can't bring myself to sully my laser cutter with it!) so
I need to get some more in pretty soon. I'm thinking of putting an order
in on Friday evening/Saturday morning, so if you fancy joining in, reply
here with quantities and so on. We're not really getting much of a
discount for volume ordering, but it will cut down on delivery compared
to everyone ordering their own.

Am I correct in thinking that since these sheets are A3 and you are getting
them cut for free, people asking for specific colours, will need to
purchase 2 of each, as essentially they are buying 1 x A3 sheet which is
being cut into 2 x A4 sheets?

I suppose that makes sense.
So a line item of 1 x A3 purple, for 3.50, is actually 2 x A4 sheets.
(if someone just wants one A4 sheet of a colour it'll get awkward as
they'll have to be ordered separately at nearly 2/sheet).

So to clarify -
order in A3 sheets and Trent will cut these down to A4 FOC
(so 1 x purple = 1 x A3 = 2 x A4 = 3.50)

Hi Chris, putting in an order for some acryllic to make the Maker Faire
lanyards:

18 A4 sheets of blue tint (eg 9 A3 sheets cut to size)
5 A4 sheets of red tint

Do you have an estimated delivery date if you're placing the order on
Friday / Saturday? Have put aside next weekend for cutting them so
hopefully they'll have arrived by then :)

Just to be clear, The sheets I requested earlier were A3, so I've asked for a total of 10 A3 sheets in The colours specified, but but down to give me 20 A4 sheets.

I assume you never placed this order seeing as it is nearly 2 months since you started the thread?
