How much does acrylic sheet cost per ton - making every penny clear
Many people come up and ask, 'How much does acrylic sheet cost per ton?' However, the price actually involves various factors such as material, thickness, color, and craftsmanship. As a manufacturer engaged in this business, we do not quote false prices or play tricks. We directly explain the price structure of one ton and provide our factory with a true quotation.
Our factory is a well-established enterprise specializing in the production of acrylic sheets, with independent import and export rights. We do not engage in trade or speculation, only in production. For many years, we have provided over 100000 tons of acrylic sheets to domestic and foreign customers. Our products have been used in the lightboxes of some well-known chain brands' stores and the soundproof walls of large-scale projects. Our philosophy is simple: to make reliable boards at affordable prices.
Before explaining the price, let's first clarify the range of specifications we can offer:
Length x Width: Conventional 1.22 x 2.44 meters, maximum capacity can be 2.05 x 3.05 meters
Thickness: 1mm -50mm, with a gradient of every 0.5mm
Color: transparent, semi transparent, solid color, fluorescent, marble pattern, wood grain, etc
Surface: glossy, matte, frosted, dotted, brushed
Current market situation (May 2026, ex factory price including tax):
Market price of board type (yuan/ton)
Recycled/Recycled Transparent Plate 6500-7500
Recycled color board 7000-8200
Brand new transparent board (ordinary) 9000-10500
Brand new transparent board (UV resistant) 11000-12500
Brand new color palette 10000-12000
Imported sheet metal (such as Mitsubishi, Degussa) 15000-20000
Our factory's price (new material, first grade):
Transparent cast board (ordinary weather resistant): 8800 yuan/ton
Transparent casting board (with added UV resistance): 10200 yuan/ton
Color cast board (commonly used color): 9800 yuan/ton
Transparent extruded plate (2-6mm): 8400 yuan/ton
The above is the purchase price for the whole ton, with prices calculated in kilograms for less than 1 ton. Transparent boards are priced at 21 yuan/kilogram, and colored boards are priced at 23 yuan/kilogram.
Attention: The above prices are ex factory prices excluding tax, and an additional 13% value-added tax invoice is required. The transportation fee is calculated separately based on distance and logistics method. Large quantities can be discussed further.
Authentic materials: We keep purchase vouchers and laboratory reports for each batch of raw materials and accept customer sampling. Refuse to use recycled materials to impersonate new materials.
Accurate weight: The theoretical density of acrylic is 1.19g/cm ³, while the actual density of our board is between 1.18-1.20. We intentionally increase the thickness to make money.
Transparent quotation: We separate the cost of raw materials, electricity, labor, losses, and profits to inform our loyal customers and never conceal them.
Free sample cutting: You pay for the sample fee, which will be deducted from the payment after placing the order. Support sending boards for testing.
Choose us, what you are buying with your money is a guaranteed board, not a bunch of questions.
According to different usage scenarios, boards of different prices are suitable for different purposes:
Economy type (recycling board): temporary booth, low-end light box, disposable props.
Popularization type (brand new transparent board): storefront signs, ordinary display windows, indoor partitions, photo frames.
High end type (UV resistant/imported material): outdoor signage, long-term skylight, museum display cabinets, medical equipment.
We suggest that critical projects should not be bought back at a cheap price, as the losses caused by yellowing, brittleness, and deformation in the later stage far exceed the saved material costs.
Spot transparent board/regular color board: can be shipped on the same day.
Customized color or thickness: The factory order cycle is usually 10-15 days. If urgent delivery is required, a 30% urgent fee will be charged, which can be shortened to 5-7 days.
Unconventional oversized dimensions (such as 2 meters x 3 meters): require separate molding, with a production cycle of 20-25 days.
To ensure the safety of bulk purchases by ton, we adopt:
Separate the boards with non-woven fabric to prevent adhesion and scratches.
Every 10-20 boards are bundled together and secured with PP strapping.
The whole pallet is made of fumigated wooden or plastic pallets, and the outer layer is wrapped with stretch film as a whole.
Conduct a secondary inventory and visual inspection before loading, and take photos for record keeping.
After shipment, provide the logistics tracking number and estimated arrival time, which can be checked throughout the entire process.
Q: Why is there such a big price difference in one ton quotes from different manufacturers?
Answer: There are three main differences: raw materials (new materials vs recycled materials), thickness tolerance (± 0.2mm vs ± 0.5mm or more), and light transmittance (92% vs 85% or less). We suggest that you conduct sample testing first, rather than just looking at the price.
Q: Does your price per ton include protective film? Do I need to pay for the protective film?
Answer: Conventional double-sided film (low or medium adhesive) is already included in the quotation and does not require additional charges. If you need to use imported residue free film or special thickness film, you need to pay a small price difference.
Q: Can I buy only half a ton? Converted at the price of one ton?
Answer: The minimum order quantity is half a ton, but the price will be slightly higher than the full ton price, with an increase of about 200-300 yuan per ton. Due to the relatively low efficiency of small-scale production, the loss rate is slightly higher. It is recommended that you purchase the entire ton at once for the most cost-effective option.
