A customer brougt in a piece of plastic with his logo. He wants the same kind of plastic for another sign to have a new service listed on it. I only need 9 3/4" X 47". It is clear, and yet a texture on one side, smooth on the other, a frosted look, not crystal clear. Roughly 1/16th" thick. Plenty flexible enough to roll up for use as a display header when needed. Hopefully some heads out there may have the same thing. Please contact if you have some you can sell me or send me to a distributor. Don't think I'll ever use this stuff again so I'd like to buy this off scraps or stock anyone might have.

I'm pretty sure what you're describing is lexan. Comes with a matte or textured finish on one side. Neat stuff to paint sub-surface. Back in the days we did more display work, I might have had some strips left over to send you. If nobody else chimes in, see if there's any fabricators in your area who build trade show displays. Real popular for that. Or look up a full service plastics distributor. You might have to buy a full 4x8, but you would eventually find ways to use the left over.

Gerber has a thing called LexEdge. It is for making backlit prints on the Edge. We bought it to make a display topper replacement like you. We also used it to make spray paint stencils. Stuff works great for that.
Ours came in a 15 x 10 roll but now that tha Maxx printer is here, I would suspect that this product would be available for that.
Have a great one!
