Acrylic Wall Photos by Shape

Custom acrylic prints come in a variety of shapes. While the word “custom” implies that you have freedom with your design, there are popular forms accepted in the industry that you can opt for using our design tool. Explore some of the style options below for inspiration.

Regular Landscape / Portrait Acrylic Displays

Landscape simply refers to pictures on acrylic that have a horizontal orientation, whereas portraits have a vertical orientation. We offer landscape and portrait acrylic glass pictures of custom sizes and edge options.

Panoramic Acrylic Prints

Panoramic format, just like landscape, has a horizontal orientation. However, it mostly refers to a higher ratio between the height and width of your acrylic decor. This format is perfect for wide-angle photos of cityscapes, nature’s capes, and similar imagery.

Square Acrylic Décor

Square shapes give pictures on acrylic a neat and polished touch. Get multiple prints in different sizes to combine into a geometric collage on your living room wall. You can also align acrylic glass photo prints in one row to decorate the lobby or hallway of your office, restaurant, or hotel.

Round Acrylic Photo Prints

Circular or oval acrylic pictures have an even more unique appearance for various uses. Go with large acrylic photo prints with a circle or oval shape to create a focal point and visual hierarchy in your overall design.

Acrylic Photo Prints by Size and Thickness

We offer custom-size acrylic glass prints ranging from 4×4 to 96×48 inches in size. When it comes to thickness, we have two options to choose from: 1/8″ (0.125″) and 1/4″ (0.25″). The 1/8″ (0.125″) thick acrylic panel photo is great for small to medium displays. The 1/4″ (0.25″) is durable enough even for the largest scale plexiglass prints and adds greater visual depth.

Material and Printing Options for Acrylic Prints

We create custom acrylic photo prints by mirror-printing your picture directly onto the back surface of clear acrylic. The photo is visible in the right orientation from the other side. The optically clear sheet of the material adds depth and brilliance to your pictures on acrylic.

Second surface acrylic photo printing offers protection against scratches and damages to your print on plexiglass. Although the printing process turns the surface texture matte, the front-facing side retains a glossy appearance.

We use the highest-quality printers available paired with UV-stable inks for acrylic photo printing that’s as stunning as it gets.

Acrylic Photo Prints with Different Edge Options

We offer multiple edge options for our custom acrylic prints that you can select before placing an order. Acrylic photo cutting styles allow you to further personalize your prints and add a final stylistic touch to your decor.

Acrylic Prints with a Halo Effect / Overline Cut

We offer overline cutting known for its “halo effect” for custom acrylic prints. This option adds clear edges to the border of your pictures on acrylic. The technique creates a unique frame around your print, priming it for home decor or gallery displays. Mostly used for photography exhibitions, this style will impart a museum-worthy appearance to your custom acrylic photo prints. Keep in mind that the size you select for your photo will include a ¼ – ½ inch clear edge. Contact us for custom-sized edges.

If you’d like to have acrylic prints with a colored frame, gradients, or anything other than clear, include them in the design and choose one of the other cutting options to ensure your product doesn’t feature a clear edge.

• Square or Rectangle Cuts

This standard cutting option for acrylic glass photo prints is the most popular choice for our customers. Choosing this one, you’ll get a print that has 90° corners with sharp edges.

• Rounded Cut

As with the standard-cut option, you’ll still get 90° corners, but the edges will be rounded at 1”, ¾” (0.75), and ½” (0.5) radius, depending on the size of your acrylic picture prints. This option will give your decor a softer look.

• Outline Cutting

We offer full customization when we print a photo on acrylic glass so you can get decor in any shape you can imagine. All you need to do is design your acrylic pictures with a custom outline and we’ll make precision cuts to match.

• Circle / Oval Cut

Upload your pictures and choose this option if you need round acrylic prints. Get the perfect circular or oval shape by selecting the height and width of your design. Make sure no important part of the image is cut off by examining the proof we send you before production.
