Exact sheet sizing for direct fitment
Custom sizing is for customers who need PETG sheet trimmed to exact dimensions before collection or delivery. We cut to your supplied measurements so the sheet is ready for direct installation, fabrication or further processing on arrival. This is useful for sign shops, cabinet makers, display work, machine guards and prototyping where a few millimetres can make the difference between a clean fit and wasted material.
We work with common sheet formats and can size from a single panel right through to repeat runs for production jobs. Standard tolerances are kept tight and practical, with final dimensions agreed before cutting. If your application needs protection film left on, deburred edges or marked drilling positions, we can include that in the job notes so the pieces arrive in the right condition.
- Exact length and width from your supplied measurements
- Single sheets or repeat sizes for batch work
- Film left on available for surface protection
- Edge finishing available where handling safety matters
What is included with custom sizing
Every custom sizing order is handled as a working job, not just a loose cut. We check the dimensions, confirm the sheet thickness, and note any special requirements before the cut starts. If there is a need for hole marking, strip cutting, panel cutting or labelled packs for multiple destinations, that is set out clearly so the team knows how the order must leave the workshop.
Included in the service is careful measuring, straight cutting to size, basic job checking and packing for handover or courier. Where a project needs extra care because of coastal humidity, transport vibration or site handling, we can advise on the best way to package the sheets so they stay flat and clean. On more sensitive jobs, we recommend leaving the protective film in place until installation is due.
- Measurement check against your order notes
- Straight cut to the agreed final size
- Job labelling for easy identification
- Courier packing for nationwide delivery
How the sizing process works in Epping
The process is straightforward. Start by sending your required dimensions through the enquiry form on the contact page and include thickness, quantity and any cut-out or edge requirements. If the job is for a fitting panel, please send the finished size you need on site, not the raw stock size you started with. That reduces confusion and helps us cut accurately the first time.
Once we review the details, we confirm the material, the cut plan and the expected turnaround. For repeat customers and larger orders, we can keep the same sizes on record for future runs. Collection is available from Epping, and we also support nearby collection points in Bellville, Parow, Claremont, Somerset West and Paarl for suitable orders. Couriers are used for nationwide delivery when collection is not practical.

- Collection or courier dispatch according to the order
Turnaround times and ordering windows
Turnaround depends on the size of the order, the thickness selected and whether extra work such as deburring or hole marking is included. Small custom sizing jobs are often handled quickly, while large batch work or repeated panel sets may need a longer slot in the cutting schedule. We plan jobs to keep production moving and avoid holding up urgent fitment work.
For best results, order early in the week if you have a deadline for installation or dispatch. This helps around month-end when workshop and courier schedules can tighten up. If your site is affected by load-shedding or municipal access limits, factor that into the delivery plan so the material is on hand before the crew arrives. We will always indicate the expected lead time before work starts, and if there is a delay because of a high volume day, you will be told up front.
When needed, we can split a larger order into labelled bundles for phased installation. That is useful for fitouts, display systems and fabrication teams that need parts delivered in order. It also makes stock control easier on site, especially when several sizes are being used at once.
Pricing approach for custom cut sheets
Pricing is based on material, sheet thickness, final dimensions, number of cuts and any finishing requested. A simple one-off size is priced differently from a long run of repeated panels, because setup and handling time change from job to job. Where there are narrow strips, small offcuts or unusual cut plans, the quotation will reflect the extra material handling needed.
We keep pricing practical and clear so you know what is being charged before the cut begins. If you are comparing options, ask for pricing on the exact finished size rather than a rough estimate. That makes it easier to weigh up waste, labour and courier cost. For regular customers, volume can improve the rate when the same dimensions are ordered again in future. The team can also suggest a size change that reduces waste without affecting the final application.
- Price depends on thickness, size and quantity
- Extra work such as deburring or marking may add cost
- Repeat orders can be priced more efficiently
- Courier charges are quoted separately where needed
Specs, handling and maintenance intervals
PETG sheet is chosen for its solid impact resistance, good clarity options and reliable performance in workshop and display use. It handles everyday fabrication well, including cutting, drilling and general forming on suitable equipment. For most applications, sheets are supplied in practical thicknesses from 2 mm up to 10 mm, with custom work available beyond that depending on the job. Standard sheet sizes vary, but custom sizing lets you take only what you need and avoid extra trimming on site.
For maintenance, wipe down with a soft cloth and mild soap solution when needed, then dry with a clean lint-free cloth. Avoid harsh solvents and abrasive pads, especially on clear material, because they can mark the surface. In dusty shop environments or coastal areas, inspect fitted panels every 3 to 6 months for edge wear, fixing movement or surface scratching. For outdoor or high-touch installations, a quarterly check is sensible, particularly after strong winds, transport vibration or repeated cleaning. If the sheet is being used as a guard or cover, include it in the normal equipment inspection cycle so damage is caught early.
Good storage matters too. Keep cut sheets flat, out of direct sun and away from sharp edges while waiting for installation. That keeps them true and helps prevent unnecessary rework on site.
