Plastic sheets in custom cut - Made in Germany

Plastic sheets cut to size – buy online at the best prices

We offer high-quality plastic sheets such as ABS, PVC, aluminium composite panels, acrylic glass, polycarbonate and many more for a wide range of applications including thermoforming, automotive engineering, mechanical engineering, the construction industry, model making, container construction, advertising displays, signs, advertising, bathroom splashbacks, façade design, wall coverings and much more. Each plastic has its own specific advantages and disadvantages. Polyethylene, for example, is food-safe, has enormous impact resistance and very good sliding properties, but is not suitable for permanent outdoor use or for decorative purposes. Aluminium composite panels and HPL, on the other hand, have these properties, but are not suitable for deep drawing.

How can I order plastic sheets online?

Ordering plastic sheets online is kid's play. If you already know which plastic, colour or thickness you need, simply select the appropriate category and then choose the colour or design. Various sheets are available both cut to size and as whole sheets in 2x1 metre format. Both versions offer the option of selecting the required sheet thickness. For cut-to-size sheets, you can also specify the length and width. We cut plastic sheets to the exact millimetre according to your specifications and you only receive your cut-to-size sheet. There is no waste for you – as a customer, you only pay for your custom-made cut-to-size sheet. However, we do not dispose of the offcuts from our plastic sheets, but use them to cut smaller sheets. This optimal use of material benefits all customers in our attractive price/performance structure. This is only possible thanks to sophisticated warehousing and automated cutting optimisation, which we have developed over the last few years.

The cut and the order quantity determine the price

Plastics are not actually calculated by size, but by weight. This is no different for us. The higher the total weight of the cut-to-size pieces, the lower the price. These weight-based volume discounts are automatically taken into account by our online shop.

How do I find the right plastic sheet?

The key word here is personal advice from our trained customer service team. The range of plastics available, their possible applications and processing methods are difficult to understand for the non-specialists. Even industry experts benefit from information and consultation when it comes to cutting or selecting the right plastic and plastic thickness. In consultation with our experts, we find the right material for every specific application and tailor the plastic sheet precisely to your requirements. We are not limited to our standard range. We are also able to offer countless other plastics for very special applications – such as POM or PEEK – as well as large formats or customised CNC milled parts. In addition, our experienced consultants can provide information on the right accessories, from adhesives and cleaners to assembly materials.

Delivery & packaging of your panel cuts

All cut-to-size sheets are delivered as a parcel via DHL or DHL Express or on a pallet via our partner shipping company, depending on the size and total weight of the order. We attach great importance to the safe packaging of the plastic sheets. This consists of sturdy cardboard boxes made from recycled paper. Sensitive plastic sheets are also protected from damage during transport with bubble wrap to ensure that the cut-to-size sheets arrive safely. Thanks to high stock levels of all plastics in our standard delivery programme, short processing and delivery times are guaranteed. Your order will usually be dispatched within 2-3 working days of receipt. Delivery with the selected shipping service provider usually takes another 1-2 working days.

Note:Where possible, large cut-to-size pieces or standard sheets in lower thicknesses are rolled and delivered as a package to keep shipping costs as low as possible. This is not possible for breakable plastics or stiff sheets such as HPL or aluminium composite, so larger cut-to-size pieces are delivered on a disposable pallet.

Where are plastic sheets used?

Not all plastics are the same. Their properties, including their advantages and disadvantages, vary not only depending on the type of plastic, but also on their specific design. The consequence is that not every plastic is suitable for every application. Depending on the material, plastic sheets have a wide range of uses in both technical and visual applications. Robust plastics such as ABS or ASA/ABS are used for technical purposes, for example in mechanical engineering or for housing parts, as they are impact-resistant and easy to form. PE and PP are often used in the food sector, in container construction or in the chemical industry, as they are resistant to a wide range of chemicals. PVC is particularly popular in construction, such as for pipe systems or in fire protection, while PTFE – known for its excellent sliding properties and temperature resistance – is used in food and medical technology, just to name one example. In the optical sector, on the other hand, materials such as acrylic glass or polycarbonate are used when transparency and aesthetics are required, for example in illuminated advertising, protective glazing or displays. HPL and aluminium composite panels are ideal for facades, balconies or high-quality interior cladding thanks to their stable, weather-resistant surface. Modern solutions such as DecoVitas also offer decorative, self-adhesive surfaces for furniture or wall designs, while PETG and HIPS are particularly in demand for the manufacture of sales displays or packaging.

Typical examples of applications for plastics

1. Facade cladding in commercial construction: HPL panels or aluminium composite panels
2. Balcony cladding in residential construction: HPL panels, aluminium composite panels or polycarbonate
3. Conveyor technology in the food industry: PTFE, polyethylene or polypropylene
4. Containers in the chemical industry: PTFE, polyethylene or polypropylene, as well as PVC
5. Housings for electrical appliances: PVC, but also ABS, ASA/ABS or polystyrene
6. Plastic glazing for outdoor use: acrylic glass or UV-stabilised polycarbonate
7. Shatterproof plastic glazing: polycarbonate or frost-resistant PETG
8. Decorative wall coverings: DecoVitas, HPL or aluminium composite panels
9. Model making and prototype construction: acrylic glass, ABS or polystyrene
10. Vehicle bodywork: ABS, ASA/ABS, polycarbonate
11. Plastics in fire protection: PVC or PETG

The list of application examples and possible uses could go on forever. We therefore discuss the respective advantages and limitations in detail on the category pages for plastics, as well as in the product descriptions for each material.

What you should know about plastics

Are plastic sheets corrosion-resistant?

Plastic does not rust. Compared to most metals, this is an extremely positive property and has a particular impact on the durability and range of applications of plastic sheets. Furthermore, plastics do not oxidise, so it can be said that plastic sheets are corrosion-resistant.

Is plastic toxic?

Plastic is basically non-toxic. It is not without reason that plastics are used in the food industry or for the manufacture of high-quality children's toys. However, a distinction must be made between hard plastics and those that contain plasticisers. It is precisely these plasticisers, such as phthalates, that are considered harmful to health and are added to plastics to make them soft and elastic. Over time, these plasticisers diffuse out of the plastics and can be absorbed through the respiratory tract or skin, thus entering the bloodstream. A typical example is soft PVC. It is popular for the manufacture of paddling pools, bouncy castles and toys. This is often noticeable by a strong plastic smell, which hard plastics do not have.

All our plastic sheets are non-toxic!

All plastic sheets in our online shop are made exclusively from solid plastics that do not contain any plasticisers. These hard plastics do not pose any health risks. The situation is different when plastic is burned. Depending on the type of plastic, this can produce gases that are harmful to health. As with almost all combustion processes, carbon monoxide (CO) can be produced, which can cause unconsciousness and even suffocation if inhaled.
