Polycarbonate Sheet Price Guide 2026
Factory-direct pricing by type, thickness & order volume — from Bakway New Materials, Suzhou, China
Polycarbonate (PC) sheet pricing is driven by upstream SABIC Lexan and Covestro Makrolon resin costs, which fluctuate monthly with petrochemical markets. The price ranges reflect factory conditions as of Q2 2026. B2B importers are advised to lock in pricing at order confirmation, as quotes are typically valid for 15 days.

Resin Grade
Virgin SABIC Lexan or Covestro Makrolon resin commands a 10–20% premium over standard PC grade. Bakway uses virgin resin as standard — confirm resin grade and certificate of compliance when comparing quotes.
UV Coating Level
UV one-side (standard): included in base price. UV both-sides: +8–12%. 10-year UV warranty grade: +12–18%. For outdoor installations lasting 10+ years, both-sides UV is strongly recommended.
Color & Surface Finish
Clear and standard bronze are stock colors. Opal, diffused white, custom RAL colors: +5–15%. Hard-coat (scratch-resistant) surface treatment: +10–20%. Textured surface: quoted separately.
Custom Size & CNC Cutting
Standard sheet sizes (1,220 × 2,440 mm; 2,100 × 6,000 mm, etc.) are priced as above. Custom CNC cutting adds $0.50–$2.00 per linear meter of cut, depending on complexity and quantity.
Define Your Specifications
Product type (solid/multiwall/corrugated), thickness (mm), color, UV grade (one-side / both-sides), dimensions (mm × mm), and surface finish. The more specific, the faster and more accurate the quote.
State Quantity & Target Port
Specify your order quantity (m²), destination port, and preferred incoterms (FOB, CIF, or DAP). This determines whether your order ships LCL or in a full container, affecting per-unit landed cost significantly.
Request Quote + Test Reports
Ask for: (1) current FOB price per m², (2) UV transmittance test report, (3) impact resistance data (ASTM D256), (4) material certificate (resin grade). Bakway provides all four as standard with every quote.

FAQ
How is polycarbonate sheet price calculated?
Polycarbonate is sold by weight: price = sheet weight (thickness × area × density 1.2) × price per kg. The kg price depends on thickness, colour, flame-retardant grade, size and order quantity, and moves with international resin prices.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
The standard MOQ is one pallet — typically 50–100 sheets depending on thickness. Mixed thicknesses and colours are accepted in one order.
Do you offer FOB or CIF prices?
We quote FOB Shanghai/Suzhou as standard, and CIF to major ports on request. FOB gives you full control of freight; CIF is convenient for single shipments.
Can I get samples before ordering?
Yes. A4 or 300×300 mm samples of any product are sent by courier, usually within 48 hours. Sample cost is credited back on your first order.
How fast is production and delivery?
Standard sheets ship in 7–10 days; hard-coated, flame-retardant or custom sizes take 10–14 days. Full container orders are loaded 12–16 days after confirmation.
