Materials for Graded Card Protection

TPU, silicone, acrylic and metal — four materials, each positioned for a different protection job: structural rigidity, optical clarity, cushioning or flexible daily defense.

Materials

Four Materials. One Protection Standard.

Every material is engineered and QC-checked at our factory — you pick the job, we match the material.

Metal material sample
01 / Rigidity

Metal

Premium Frame

Aluminum alloy components with precision CNC machining bring premium rigidity, structural strength and display presence to graded card protection.

  • High rigidity and structural strength
  • Premium display aesthetic
  • CNC custom machining available
Best for: Premium display frames Material Guide →
Acrylic / PMMA material sample
02 / Clarity

Acrylic / PMMA

Showcase Grade

A rigid, high-clarity plastic chosen where dimensional stability and optical presentation matter — slab display cases and high-visibility holders.

  • Crystal clear optical view
  • Long-term display performance
  • Dimensionally stable
Best for: Showcase & long-term display Material Guide →
Silicone material sample
03 / Cushioning

Silicone

Soft Touch

A synthetic elastomer delivering consistent flexibility across a wide temperature range, soft-touch feel and cushioning that absorbs impact without transferring stress to the slab.

  • Soft shock absorption
  • Wide temperature tolerance
  • Non-scratch contact surface
Best for: Cushion & transit protection Material Guide →
TPU material sample
04 / Flexible Defense

TPU

Slab Guard

Thermoplastic polyurethane — the primary material for slab guards. It flexes over slab edges and corners without cracking, returns to shape, and molds to precise dimensions while staying thin.

  • Flexible and impact resistant
  • Easy thermoforming for OEM
  • Lightweight daily protection
Best for: Flexible slab guards, daily use Material Guide →
