    Small batch of Acrylic 80mm-diameter "rings" needed

    Hi everyone,

    I need a quote for the following:

    • 48 total: 80mm OD x 60mm ID x .25in thick in Frosted White
    • 24 total: 75mm OD x 55mm ID x .25in thick in Frosted White


    I am currently paying $1.25/piece, so I would like to pay the same or less if possible.

    This is all I need for the first order, thought I will need more in the future.

    See attached photo for example:

    I am just checking out the types of frosted and notice that there are more than just one for white. Do you have a reference number for the type of frosted white you used last time for this product. This way I can match it as closely as possible.

    questions

    What tollerances are you looking for? Do you have a certain finish in mind? How do you want the corners treated?

    As mentioned before I am currently paying $1.25 per piece. I received a quote from one person wanting over $4.75 each. That is obviously way too much and I would like to find someone who can produce these for closer to the $1.25 price I have been paying.

    Here are some more photos to show exactly what I need.

    The ring with paper on it is how I have been getting them. Once you peel the paper off they are clear. I then sand both sides to make the acrylic look frosted.

    I would like the new rings to be made out of frosted acrylic so I do not have to sand them by hand.

    I found the frosted acrylic material and it was $150.00 for 24"x48" sheet. That's $2.08 a part just in material. I'm glad you know what you want, what I'd like to know is why you stopped having them made for $1.25 part.

    my current producer is swamped with work and he said it would be at least a month before he could make more for me.

    still, i'm open to getting more quotes. even if the price is above what i was paying before...

    This seems like a simple laser job. Why cant you take a clear sheet and sand it before you have them cut? A palm sander and some fine grit paper and you could have a whole 4'x8' sheet "frosted" in no time.

    Alternatively, couldnt you toss them in a vibratory tumbler with some grit? 15mins would be enough time to frost them up.

    I'm not interested in quoting but you could probably get the look you are after by bead blasting the parts using glass beads.
