Acrylic Paper Weights

How to choose 74mm DIY acrylic paper weights

This hub lists the two 74mm DIY sandwich blanks AbhishekID stocks for photo studios and gift shops: square with round corners, and round discs. Each set is two pieces of 5mm clear imported-grade acrylic with sparkle gumming and release paper. Print on waterproof A4 or 4x6 AP film (sold separately), peel both faces, press the print between the pieces, then trim the paper flush with a blade. One set is one finished desk paperweight — packs run from 1 to 200 sets so a stall can sample before a wedding or corporate run.

Pick square when the artwork is a logo block, polaroid crop, or typography that needs a stable base. Pick round when the photo is circular, floral, or meant to sit any way on a desk. Both shapes share the same 74mm industry footprint used for promotional desk gifts in India, so templates and cutters stay consistent across a mixed order. Thickness is 5mm per piece (front and back), not a single thick printed block — the insert workflow is what lets a studio personalise on the same day without sending art to a factory.

Pair these blanks with AP film from the ap film collection. Mirror cold-lamination film is not required for the sandwich itself; the gumming is already on the acrylic. For other desk acrylic, browse acrylic stands (T-stands and photo panels) and keep fridge magnet plus acrylic magnets for souvenir photo gifts that hang on metal, not paper stacks. Do not mix this line with 49mm puzzle tiles or polaroid magnet frames — those are different thicknesses and adhesives.

Quote by set, not by printed piece: film, print time, and trim labour sit on top of the acrylic pack price. Test one set of each shape against your printer ICC and blade before a 50-piece event order so corner radius and round-edge trim match the proof the client signed.
