 How to Choose Between 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, and Even 10mm Thickness?

Thickness is a core factor affecting cost, weight, and structural strength. Here is a simple selection reference:

  • 1mm ABS plastic sheet: Suitable for non-load-bearing liners, protective covers, and lightweight model making. It is very flexible and easy to bend and cut.

  • 2mm ABS plastic sheet: One of the most widely used specifications. Suitable for most electronic device housings, small appliance panels, sign substrates, toys, and models, offering a good balance of rigidity and strength.

  • 3mm ABS plastic sheet: Strength is significantly improved, suitable for applications requiring certain structural support, such as automotive interior parts (door panels, dashboard skeletons), protective covers for medium-sized equipment, and shelves or display stands that carry a certain weight.

  • 10mm ABS plastic sheet and thicker specifications: Belong to heavy-duty materials, used for industrial workbench surfaces, large equipment structural parts, high-strength padding plates, etc. They can provide load-bearing capacity similar to wood but are more corrosion and impact-resistant.

Professional Advice: If you are unsure how to choose, our technical team can recommend the most economical and suitable thickness solution based on your design drawings and load requirements.

Q2: Do you offer free samples?
A: Yes! We provide free small samples (approx. 10x10cm) for material evaluation and color matching. This helps you confirm the quality and suitability before placing a bulk order.
Q3: What is the lead time for production and delivery?
A: For standard sizes and grades, lead time is typically 7-15 days. Custom modifications or large volumes may require more time. We also offer expedited services for urgent needs. Delivery time depends on your location and chosen shipping method.
Q4: What is your Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?
A: We are flexible to support both large projects and prototyping. Our MOQ can be as low as 100 kg, and we welcome discussions for smaller trial orders to start our collaboration.
Q5: Can you provide sheets with specific certifications like UL94 V-0 or FDA?
A: Absolutely. We specialize in producing modified ABS sheets. We can provide sheets compliant with UL94 V-0 flame retardancy, FDA for food contact, and other specific standards. Please inform us of your certification requirements.
Q6: What file format do you need for custom cutting?
A: We accept common formats like DXF, DWG, or AI for precise cutting. Our technical team can also assist with optimizing your design for manufacturing to reduce waste and cost.
