  • Architectural Plastics and its fabrication team are known for their flawless glue seams. This is made possible by a proprietary glue formulated at Architectural Plastics and specialized fabrication techniques. Cases can be made to your specifications or designed by Architectural Plastics to suit your needs in both vitrine and wall mounted solutions.

  • Your case needs a base! We offer a wide variety of acrylic, MDF and plywood pedestal configurations and can provide completely custom solutions as well. We can paint the pedestals any color you’d like, use natural wood veneers or composite veneers depending on client preference.

  • We excel in edge seaming, a process of gluing the edges of acrylic sheets together to create larger panels when standard sizes aren't sufficient for your project. Our expert techniques ensure clear, flawless seams, delivering a high-end finish to immensely large panels or assemblies.
