Acrylic or PVC sign holders for countertop and table tent displays?
A:Both are clear holders we mould and cut in house — the acrylic line (JE series) and the PET/PVC line (JQ series). Acrylic gives the cleanest optical clarity and the best edge polish at a higher unit cost; PVC tolerates knocks and repeated handling far better, which matters for signage that is swapped weekly.

How we choose for you
- Counter, reception and restaurant tables — menu cards, name cards and table numbers: acrylic JE-2 / JE-3, because clarity and edge polish carry the premium look.
- Price tag and promotional information at the shelf or till: PVC JQ series, because the sign is changed often and handled constantly.
- Mixed assemblies — an acrylic body with a PVC or metal base is a common combination when you want clarity plus a knock-resistant foot.
Small detail that changes the answer
If your store team cleans with alcohol-based sanitiser, acrylic will develop fine surface cracks over time. Tell us your cleaning routine and we will switch the holder to the PVC line — this one detail causes more returns than any other in clear sign holders.
