Variety

Due to the manufacturing technique employed, the designs on cellulose acetate sheets are inherently variable and differ from one sheet to another. This variability is not viewed as a flaw but is a natural outcome of the production process designed to create a unique pattern on each sheet.

Storage

- Store the sheets in a cool, dry environment. Extreme temperatures can affect the material's properties.
- High humidity can lead to moisture absorption, which might compromise the quality. Aim for a humidity-controlled setting if possible.
- Store the sheets horizontally on a flat surface to prevent warping or bending. If that's not feasible, ensure the vertical storage provides enough support to prevent the sheets from bending.

Cutting service

Laser-cutting and engraving services are offered exclusively for sheets purchased from our store. To inquire about minimum order quantities (MOQs) and pricing, please submit your designs or drawings along with the specific types and colors of sheets you intend to cut or engrave.

Shipping

- We only ship to the confirmed address provided by Etsy. Before you pay, please make sure your address registered in Etsy matches the address you would like us to ship to.
- Sheet products mostly need to be cut to size and will get ready to dispatch 3~5 days upon receipt of payment (except Saturday, Sunday and Public Holiday). Packages will be carried by Global Commercial Express services (FedEx, DHL, UPS, TNT, DPEX, SPSR or EMS), which generally take 5-8 business days for delivery.

About the material

Cellulose acetate sheet is a versatile plastic material derived from natural cellulose found in plants. Unlike other plastic sheets, cellulose acetate is more eco-friendly as it is made from renewable resources and is biodegradable under certain conditions.

Often transparent or translucent, it is known for its easy formability, excellent optical clarity, and good surface finish. Typically used in applications like eyewear frames, packaging, and decorative laminates, cellulose acetate sheets are a sustainable choice due to their plant-based origins.

Easily machinable and formable, cellulose acetate sheets can be cut, bent, and molded into various shapes, making them versatile for a wide range of industrial and consumer products. They are also known for their excellent ink adhesion and printability, making them popular in the graphics industry.
