Saw Cut vs Laser Cut Finish

At Perspex Panels, we offer different finishes for all of our acrylic sheets. Both saw cut and laser cut finishes. The finish of acrylic sheets should be chosen depending on how it is being used. For example, if you have a small laser machine and are using our panels to create smaller items, saw cut would be best. On the other hand, if panels were being used for items such as house numbers, printed signs etc, a lasered edge would be the better option.

See below the breakdown of information of Saw Cut vs Laser Cut Finish panels.


Differences Between Saw Cut & Laser Cut Finish

Saw Cutting (Standard)

Saw Cutting is our standard method that we would recommend for those with laser machines. For example, to laser out small products such as jewellery, cake toppers, signs and more.

  • Smooth Edge
  • Accurate Cutting
  • More Affordable

Laser Cutting (+10p)

Laser cutting is the option we recommend for those using their materials as a product. For example, finished items such as house numbers, decorative signs and more.

  • Soft Edge
  • Precise Cutting
  • Worthwhile Investment

Choosing The Best Method For Your Project

Before choosing which finish option to go for, there are a few things to consider:

  • Budget: For any project, understanding your budget is very important. When purchasing panels, assess the total cost of the items. Looking whether it is critical for a certain finish to be used. If you have invested in a small laser machine, possibly choosing the saw cut option will save the extra price per panel.
  • Time Frame: When choosing a laser cut finish option, this will increase the lead time of the order. Especially on larger orders of panels. Getting into contact with our team will help you get an idea of the time frame. In addition, we can offer next day courier options if you are in a hurry, getting it to you the day after we dispatch it.
  • Project Specification: Finally, the specifications for the project. Is precision important, or is there some flexibility to the dimensions of your cut? If so, a laser cutter might be your best option. If your project only requires a few, simple cuts, traditional saw cutting is the way to go.
