Crystal Acrylic Standees vs. Regular Standees: Why Crystal Edges Make All the Difference
At ZoArtix, we know that every detail matters when it comes to custom merch — especially when it’s meant to showcase your favorite characters or original artwork. That’s why today we’re taking a closer look at two types of acrylic standees we offer: the classic CNC-cut standee and our customer-favorite Crystal Acrylic Standee.
While both types use CNC cutting technology and support special effects like rainbow film, glitter, and holographic overlays, the difference in finish and feel between the two is striking. If you’re wondering which to choose for your next custom standee, read on — especially if you're after something that's safe to handle, visually stunning, and irresistibly collectible.
What Is a Crystal Acrylic Standee?
While both regular and crystal standees are CNC-cut from high-quality acrylic, crystal acrylic standees go through an extra refinement process — including precision edge polishing and smoothing. This results in a product that is:
-
Visibly more transparent and glass-like
-
Incredibly smooth to the touch (no sharp edges!)
-
Highly durable with a luxurious finish
The name “crystal” doesn’t just sound fancy — the edges genuinely resemble the clarity and shine of real crystal, elevating the entire look and feel of your standee.
💡 Fun Fact: Many of our customers say the smooth, glossy edge reminds them of epoxy resin finishes — clean, clear, and rich-looking.
CNC-Cut Standees: The Standard Option
CNC-cut standees are the standard in the industry for a reason: they’re affordable, customizable, and get the job done. But compared to crystal acrylic, you might notice:
-
Slightly rough or sharp edges
-
White, frosted borders rather than crystal-clear transparency
-
Basic finish without that “wow” factor
While they're still a great choice for casual use or budget-conscious orders, many creators, collectors, and fans are now upgrading to crystal standees for that extra edge — pun intended!
💎 Crystal Acrylic = Epoxy Look Without the Hassle
Epoxy (or resin) art has become wildly popular for its dreamy, glassy finish. And if you love that look, you’ll love our crystal acrylic standees even more — because you get:
✅ A similar clear and rounded finish
✅ No risk of yellowing or stickiness over time
✅ No manual pouring or waiting to cure
✅ Perfect consistency and shape with every order
Both Types Support Gorgeous Effects
No matter which standee type you choose, at ZoArtix you can customize it with a variety of special film effects to bring your design to life:
🌈 Rainbow film – Dreamy color-shifting shine
✨ Holographic – Futuristic, multi-angle glow
💫 Glitter film – Sparkles that catch the light
These overlays enhance the artwork and match beautifully with the crystal-clear edges of the upgraded standee, making the whole design pop like never before.

Crystal standees are perfect for:
-
Collectors looking for premium-quality merchandise

Artists selling small-batch designs and fan merch
-
Cosplayers or photographers creating scenic dioramas
