Express cuts

You can also get our plastic sheet cut-to-size service as an express cut-to-size service. You can have the most varied plastics cut to size by us. Choose the plastic that suits you. In many areas, an express cut-to-size service has to be realised together with the associated express shipping. If, as a company, you are missing a custom cut and you need it quickly so that you can carry on working on your product, express cut-to-size is exactly the right thing for you.

Express cut-to-size of plastic sheets

Whether for use in industry, the skilled trades or exhibition stand construction: sometimes companies are under such time pressure that delays in the supply chain cannot be tolerated. We are your partner for the express cut-to-size of plastic sheets.

Thanks to modern CNC-controlled machines and a motivated, flexible team, we can guarantee you precise manufacturing results in the shortest possible time and at a consistently high quality. In our production facility, we manufacture one-offs, smaller and larger series in the most varied dimensions to customer order - entirely according to your wishes.

Express means that you receive your goods as quickly as possible. Express deliveries on the following working day can be handed over at the booked delivery time of before 9 a.m., before 10 a.m. or before 12 noon for your consignment. Many parcel services, including DHL, UPS, DPD, Hermes, GLS and FedEx, now offer express deliveries or also urgent deliveries. But freight forwarders or transport companies also offer urgent deliveries. Freight forwarding companies are often used for extensive goods deliveries. Here, what is decisive is by when you want to receive the desired product and how large and heavy it is. With a delivery, attention must also be paid to the correct packaging.

Advantages of express cut-to-size:

• punctual and short-notice delivery
• (significantly) faster delivery of the goods than with standard shipping
• deliveries on the same day possible
• time-critical orders possible
• no restriction to local retail
