What Thicknesses Are Available for LYSHIRE Engraving Plastic Sheets?
Quick Answer: LYSHIRE engraving plastic sheets are available from 0.1 to 3.0 mm. The most commonly ordered thicknesses are 1.3 mm and 1.5 mm. Other thicknesses are available for different signage, labeling and engraving applications.
What Thicknesses Are Available?
LYSHIRE produces two-color and three-color engraving plastic sheets in thicknesses ranging from 0.1 to 3.0 mm. Available options include 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.8, 1.3, 1.5 and 3.0 mm. A 2.5 mm thickness can also be produced as a customized specification.
The correct thickness depends on the application, installation method, engraving equipment, required rigidity and finished product size. Not every color, surface finish or material grade is available in every thickness, so specifications should be confirmed before quotation.
Engraving Plastic Sheet Thickness Guide
| Thickness | Typical Applications |
|---|---|
| 0.1 mm | Ultra-thin labels, equipment identification and specialized marking applications |
| 0.3–0.8 mm | Thin labels, lightweight nameplates, panel identification and decorative applications |
| 1.3 mm | Regular engraving signs, equipment labels, control panels and nameplates |
| 1.5 mm | Standard signage, industrial identification, directional signs and engraved panels |
| 2.5 mm | Customized thicker sheets for projects requiring additional rigidity |
| 3.0 mm | Rigid engraved panels, larger signs and applications requiring stronger support |
Which Thickness Is Most Common?
The regular LYSHIRE thicknesses are 1.3 mm and 1.5 mm. These specifications provide a practical balance between rigidity, engraving performance, handling and installation for most signs, nameplates, equipment labels and industrial identification projects.
A 1.3 mm sheet is suitable when customers require a slightly lighter material. A 1.5 mm sheet provides additional rigidity and is widely used for standard signs, plaques and control-panel identification.
Does Every Thickness Work with Laser and CNC Engraving?
Processing suitability depends on the material formulation, not only the thickness. Laser-grade engraving sheets are designed for cleaner CO₂ laser engraving and cutting. Rotary or CNC-grade materials are designed for mechanical engraving and are not recommended for laser processing unless confirmed by LYSHIRE.
Customers should provide the machine type, application and required thickness before ordering. This allows LYSHIRE to recommend the correct material grade and prepare suitable samples for testing.
Can LYSHIRE Produce Customized Thicknesses?
Yes. Customized thicknesses, including 2.5 mm, can be evaluated according to the material, color, surface finish and required quantity. Customized specifications may have separate production requirements and minimum order quantities.
