Pastel Acrylic

Four soft, muted colors — pastel blue, mint, pink and salmon. Each sheet is glossy on one side and matte on the other, so you can take shine or a low-glare surface from the same piece.

Where pastels work

Baby showers and nursery signs, wedding details and favors, jewelry and charms, coasters and small accent pieces. Pastels also engrave with gentler contrast than saturated colors, which suits fine lettering and delicate line work.

Cutting

Most CO2 machines at 40W and up cut 1/8" (3mm) in a single pass. Engrave depth is worth a test pass on pastels — the frosted mark sits closer in tone to the sheet than it does on a dark color, so a little more depth reads better.

Specs

Cast acrylic (PMMA), 1/8" (3mm), 12" × 19". UV- and weather-resistant, so they hold up indoors or out.

Order a sample first

All four pastels are available as 2" × 2" sample squares for $1.50 — worth doing, since pastel tones are the easiest of any finish to misjudge on a screen.
