    Shim Stock

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Shim Stock. Sold Individually.
    Cut into custom shapes to create shims that suit your needs. With thickness tolerances as fine as a strand of hair, the shims will precisely align, space, and level components on dies, presses, and machinery.
    You can stack multiple shims to achieve your exact thickness, but stacking more than four may cause them to shift. Remember, fewer shims are better, so a couple of thicker shims are more stable than a bunch of thin shims.
    Plastic—Softer than metal, it won't mar delicate surfaces and it will never rust.

    Scratch-Resistant PETG Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Scratch-Resistant PETG Sheets.
    A satin texture on one side of these PETG sheets makes them semi-clear. The satin side is more resistant to scratching and glare than standard PETG. The other side is smooth. You can see light from the other side, but not detailed shapes. They’re often formed into complex shapes such as displays, signs, and trays, and are easy to cut with sheet metal shears. These sheets have better impact strength than Plexiglas® acrylic and can be used in similar applications.
