1/16" black in practice
Opaque stock blocks light entirely, so at 1/16" the decision is structural and visual rather than optical — you are choosing how solid the piece needs to feel and look.
At this thickness the sheet flexes easily and is better thought of as a facing than a panel — it wants a frame or a backing behind it, and it will bow under its own weight over any real span.
In a laser: pigment absorbs the beam, so this cuts on a CO2 machine and on a diode, and at this thickness a diode will usually manage it in a pass or two.
1/16" black (color 2025) starts at $3.23 for a 12″ × 12″ piece at this thickness, and weighs about 0.39 lb per square foot, so a 24″ × 48″ piece comes to roughly 3.1 lb — worth knowing before you size a panel someone has to lift or ship.
Why 1/16" black acrylic?
At 1/16″ acrylic stops behaving like a panel and starts behaving like a sheet — light, slightly flexible, and easy to cut, score and drill. It is the right call when weight or clearance matters more than rigidity: model making, layered inlays and shims, lightweight signage faces, glazing for small frames, and protective facings that need to sit almost flush. Anything free-standing or load-bearing wants 1/8″ or thicker. We cut 1/16″ to order rather than holding it in every colour, so the range at this thickness is a short one — clear, white, black and smoke gray; the colours offered are the ones listed on this page.
About Black acrylic
Black 2025 is deep, glossy, fully opaque black — the mirror-finish counterpart to our black matte. It gives a rich, reflective, high-contrast surface for sign faces, display bases, electronics enclosures, and premium backdrops. It blocks light completely; the gloss shows fingerprints, so matte black is the pick when you want a non-reflective face.
