Bespoke Fabrication
We have the machinery and expertise to manufacture bespoke items in acrylic, polycarbonate and many other plastics, from one-offs to large production runs. Read more about the various services we offer, or complete the form below to request a quote.
CNC Routing
Our advanced Multicam Apex 3R (3 Axis) CNC routers allow us to provide an extensive range of precision CNC routing services. Read more
CNC Laser Cutting
Laser cutting is a fabrication process that uses a thin, intensely focused stream of light to cut through a range of different materials, including plastics and acrylics. Read more
Diamond & Flame polishing
Edge polishing is a fabrication process that polishes the edges of acrylic panels, removes any cutting marks, and achieves a smooth, glossy finish. Read more
Rotary & Laser Engraving
Laser engraving is a fabrication process that uses a laser beam to physically remove the surface of a material to create an indentation that is noticeable to both the eye and touch. Read more
Line Bending
Line bending is a process that’s used to make precise folds in plastic and acrylic components. Our line bending fabrication service allows us to bend plastic and acrylic sheets along a defined ‘line’ – without any need for gluing or joining. Read more

Polycarbonate clear plastic sheet is an extremely versatile and strong material with a high resistance to impact. It's usually chosen over other forms of plastic sheeting because of its strength and resistance to impact.
Although easy to fabricate, unlike cast and extruded acrylic sheet material, the edges of polycarbonate cannot be polished.
Key features
- Impact resistance
- High strength
- Excellent optical clarity
- Hard wearing
- Weather resistant
- Lightweight
- Resistant to high temperatures (UK class 1 fire rating)
- Noise reduction/sound insulation
- Easy to cut and machine
- Recyclable
Typical applications
- Glazing
- Sky lights
- Construction
- Automotive and aircraft components
- Security components
- Signage
- Vending machines
- Street furniture
- Machine guards
- Lighting
- Roof domes
Detailed description
Impact resistance
Polycarbonate sheet has over 200 times the strength of glass while being half the weight. It's virtually unbreakable. The strength and impact resistance of the material makes it suitable for applications where safety and security is required.
Fire resistance
With an excellent UK class 1 fire rating, polycarbonate is often used in public buildings.
Weather resistant
With excellent resistance to the elements, polycarbonate sheet performs well outside. No significant changes in appearance are expected over 10 years.
Recyclable
Polycarbonate sheet is fully recyclable. The material is sorted, shredded and washed before being turned into a granulate ready for manufacturing.
Cut to Size Polycarbonate
Our cut to size service enables you to purchase Polycarbonate panels at the dimensions you require without having to purchase the manufactured sheet size, normally 3m x 2m. We do not charge for cutting standard shapes/sizes that are available on our website, however we do also offer additional options such as drilled holes, rounded corners and edge polishing. In addition to our cut to size service, we also offer more bespoke fabrication services including:

Data sheets
We offer fast, tracked delivery across the UK, using recognised couriers including Royal Mail, DHL and Parcel Force.
Shipping to Europe or North America? We now deliver to both from our dedicated regional stores. Visit our Europe store or North America store for pricing and delivery to your region.
How delivery is priced
Delivery is charged on the longest side of your panel, rather than its area or weight.
A sheet measuring 1500mm × 1000mm is priced on its 1500mm side; a long, narrow strip of 2200mm × 150mm is priced on its 2200mm side. Whichever single dimension is longest sets the price.
Only one delivery charge applies per order, however many pieces you order.
UK delivery costs
| Longest side | Standard | Express |
|---|---|---|
| Samples (100mm × 100mm) | £2.95 | £9.95 |
| Less than 500mm | £6.95 | £12.95 |
| 500mm – 999mm | £9.95 | £19.95 |
| 1000mm – 1999mm | £14.95 | £24.95 |
| 2000mm or greater | £19.95 | £29.95 |
Accessories are charged separately at £7.95 standard / £12.95 express.
Free delivery on orders over £250, excluding orders fulfilled direct from the manufacturer - see below.
All prices include VAT.
Delivery times
- Standard — 3–5 working days
- Express — 2–3 working days, prioritised over standard orders and sent via a recognised nationwide courier
Next-day delivery
We don't offer next-day delivery online due to the volume and the bespoke, made-to-measure nature of the orders we handle each day. If you're working to a deadline, get in touch — we'll do everything we can to meet it.
UK remote areas
Because we supply made-to-measure products, we offer delivery at standard national rates wherever we can. A small number of locations cost us more to reach, so a remote area supplement is added automatically at checkout:
| Longest side | Remote area supplement |
|---|---|
| Samples (100mm × 100mm) | £0.00 |
| Less than 500mm | £0.00 |
| 500mm – 1499mm | £10.00 |
| 1500mm – 2499mm | £15.00 |
| 2500mm or greater | £20.00 |
All prices include VAT.
Locations that may incur a supplement include the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Isles of Scilly, Isle of Wight, the Scottish Islands and Highlands, remote areas of Scotland, and Northern Ireland.
In rare cases, an order to one of these areas may be economically unviable to fulfil. If that happens, we'll always contact you first to discuss options before taking any action — we won't simply cancel.
Third-party deliveries
Some products are dispatched directly from the manufacturer via a third-party courier. Where this applies, it's clearly stated on the product page under the Delivery tab.
Can I collect my order from Simply Plastics?
Yes, of course. Orders can be collected from our premises in Colchester, Essex. At the final stage of the checkout process there is a delivery option labelled "Collection/pickup" which is free. Once your order is complete, you will be notified by email along with our address and collection times.
I need my order urgently, can I pay for faster shipping?
Yes. We offer an express delivery service which aims to deliver all orders in 1-3 working days. Orders are delivered by a recognised courier company and may require a signature on delivery.
Do you have a minimum order charge or small order fee?
This is a question we are asked fairly regularly due to the previlance of either a minimum order charge or small order fee within the industry.
At Simply Plastics our approach has always been to treat all orders equally, small or large. We want all customers, new and existing, to be able to place orders with us confident that they are only paying for the products and materials that they require. We therefore do not have a minimum order charge or small order fee.
How can I calculate the weight of a Polycarbonate Panel?
All of the different types of plastics that are available on our website, whether they be a panel, a disc, tube or rod, show the weight of the piece you require once you have entered your dimensions, shown in grams or kg.
The weight of any plastic can be calculated using the simple formula: Weight = Volume x Density
Read our blog post on how to calculate the weight of a variety of different plastics covering panels, discs, road and tube.
