Large acrylic prints

The big moments deserve big dimensions: some motifs can only be shown to full effect in XXL formats. Bright, colourful photos in particular are perfect as a large-format print on acrylic. The acrylic glass used for these prints is robust, light and very versatile. With the right mounting systems, your large acrylic prints will be the highlight of every room.

This is what makes your large-format acrylic print so special

Acrylic glass is an extremely robust yet relatively light material that makes photos look particularly exquisite thanks to its high-gloss surface. The perfect motif for your large acrylic print: brightly coloured shots. Acrylic glass is known for its brilliant colour reproduction and impressive deep-view effect. This means that the vivid colours of a blossoming flower meadow or spectacular animal shots from your last holiday are ideal candidates for making a large-format work of art from a large acrylic print.

The perfect spots for your large acrylic photos: Not just above the sofa in the living room, your large acrylic photos will look amazing above the bathtub, in the shower or above the kitchen counter, too. Since the material is resistant against wet conditions and dampness and can be easily wiped down, you can also hang your large acrylic prints in the bathroom or kitchen without worry. You should just make sure to keep your artwork away from high heat and hot splashes of fat from the hob, for example.

Professional tip for more ambience: Use light to emphasise the rich colours of your large acrylic photo. With just a few basic DIY skills, you can add a string of lights to the back of the translucent glass so that individual areas of your photo are highlighted.

Do’s and don’ts of large acrylic photo prints

An acrylic photo print is considered large format when it has a size of around 140 x 105 cm or 150 x 100cm. You should order this format with a material thickness of 8 mm. We also offer acrylic glass photo prints on 3 mm-thick glass but large-format prints will only enjoy full stability and robustness in the thicker variant. If a large acrylic print is produced on glass that is only 3 mm thick, there’s a chance that the picture could warp or even break over time.

What you should also avoid: trying to save money when it comes to mounting your large acrylic prints. Although acrylic glass is relatively light when compared to real glass, large acrylic prints can quickly weight up to 30 kg and the hanging system has to be appropriately robust. Invisible hanging systems are not suitable; instead, you should have four holes drilled into the corners and mount your large acrylic print securely on the wall with stainless steel screws.
