Which Acrylic Should I Choose? Quick Guide to Identifying the Acrylic Types in My Custom Creations
When buying a personalized product, every detail matters. And one of the most important—yet often overlooked—is the type of acrylic used. Not all acrylics look or feel the same. Each one has its own personality: from elegant to fun. Today, I want to help you recognize them easily so you can choose with confidence.
This quick guide will walk you through the main types of acrylic I use, their features, and the kinds of products I typically create with them.
1. Glossy Acrylic
This is the most common and versatile type. It has a smooth, shiny surface and comes in a wide variety of vibrant colors.
Best for:
• Cake toppers
• Decorative names
• Custom logos
• Simple keychains and charms
2. Matte Acrylic
This one has a soft, non-shiny finish—great for a modern or minimalist vibe.
Best for:
• Elegant brand logos
• Desk organizers
• Simple, clean signage
• Projects where shine isn’t desired
3. Mirror Acrylic
Mirror acrylic looks just like a real mirror. It reflects light beautifully and instantly adds that wow effect.
Best for:
• Decorative names and numbers
• Luxe party details
• Wedding toppers
• Eye-catching charms
4. Frosted Acrylic
This one has a soft satin texture. It’s semi-translucent and diffuses light, making it feel elegant and subtle.
Best for:
• Wedding signage
• Custom box lids
• Neutral, minimalist touches
5. Glitter or Patterned Acrylic
Perfect for when you want something fun, bold, and different. These acrylics may have embedded glitter or fun patterns.
