Celluloid Laminate Acrylic

Celluloid can be made in to patterns not possible with acrylic. These laminated sheets - 0.2mm of celluloid film sandwiched between two 1.4mm thick sheets of clear acrylic to give an overall sheet thickness of 3mm - combine the best characteristics of both materials: the stunning and unique patterns of celluloid with the stability and easy machining of acrylic.
