Acrylic prints

Give your pictures added wow-factor with an acrylic print that makes the colours pop. Acrylic photo prints are a great way to bring a space to life in a unique way – their colour, detail and glossy finish makes them super versatile for a wide range of uses. Think of, for example, that much-loved multicoloured vintage rug tucked away in the attic because it’s just too old to use. Why not take a close-up photo of it, turn your picture into an acrylic print and bring its colours back to life as one-of-a-kind personalised wall art for everyone to enjoy? Whether at home, in your office or event space, printing on acrylic is ideal if you are looking to showcase your images with a modern, high-quality feel.

Our acrylic photo prints can be upgraded to include their own hanging kit, ready for you to put on display straight away. All you need to do is pick the perfect spot for your new work of art. Pay attention to the lighting, how high you want it to sit, and whether your acrylic photo is a stand-alone or part of a carefully curated wall display. When you're ready, the next step is easy as our acrylic photo prints feature a super simple, ready-to-hang backing for neat wall hanging as well as ensuring they stay securely mounted. Now sit back, relax and enjoy the view.

Why we love acrylic glass photo prints

Home is where the art is, so why not turn your most iconic moment into a masterpiece? Our acrylic prints and acrylic photos can take pride of place on any wall, in any setting. We have a variety of formats to choose from to make your acrylic photo prints pop.

An acrylic print can transform a simple photo into an eye-catching piece of art. Here's an example of how to make a print inspired by the Tom Cruise movie 'Cocktail'. If you're into cocktail parties and entertaining, have a go at making your own print using the steps below:

1. Step one:Make a list of all your favourite mocktails, cocktails and tipples. The more colourful, the better.
2. Step two:Design your list of recipes (or get it designed), perhaps add some artistic illustrations of each cocktail creation. The finished artwork should look like the cocktail menu of your dreams.
3. Step three: Print your list on acrylic and hang for everyone to see in your kitchen. And there's no need to worry about any splash-accidents when you're shaking those cocktails – your sophisticated acrylic photo print comes fully protected. Our acrylic prints are low-maintenance and easy to clean using a soft cloth and mild detergent.

Acrylic photo prints – Q&A

What are acrylic photo prints?

Our photos on acrylic are a great way to cherish and protect your most-loved memories, from a minimalist bedside portrait to a major piece of wall art. With Photobox, your image is direct printed in Super High Quality 7-colour onto an acrylic sheet. Printing on acrylic will enhance the vibrancy and depth of your chosen photo. Acrylic prints have a glossy finish that enhances colours and details, bringing your shot to life and giving it an almost 3D effect. The material itself is durable, shatter-resistant and protects the image from UV light, dust and moisture, which means that your print will last for years without fading. With our easy-hang system available as add on, your print will arrive ready to hang on your wall straight away. A high-quality acrylic print from Photobox will add a contemporary, high quality focal point to any space in your home or office.

Is printing on acrylic or metal better?

Both metal wall prints and acrylic wall prints from Photobox are durable, high-quality ways of displaying your images. Picking between an acrylic wall photo and an aluminium photo print is no easy decision, but there are a few differences to take into account. A photo behind acrylic 'glass' has a clean, sophisticated look and feels more contemporary than the more classic metal print. Our acrylic picture prints are more durable than our aluminium photos and their crisp contrast and subtle gradients will bring out every last detail of your shot, giving it a vivid, almost 3D effect. The acrylic material itself creates depth and adds subtle light reflections which will truly bring your image to life.

How do you hang acrylic pictures?

Before you put your print on the wall, make sure you have picked the perfect spot. Hang it at eye-level (so you can enjoy it to the max) and pay attention to how it is lit. With the right lighting, your Photobox acrylic print will really shine. Instructions for hanging your prints can be found here.
