I need some help, I have to fill a 300 bottle stopper order.

I need to spend as little as possible on material, I have the bottle stopper it self covered with a manufacturer .

Now what is needed is a manufacturer for Acrylic,stone,etc.

Do not need a reseller like all the ones that we all use,

Have until NOV. to complete order, so need to start soon!!!

Not trying to step on any toes BUT it comes downs to dollars and cents

Any suggestions will be appreciated

Thanks

David

Cast your own.

Luckily, you have nine months to finish the project. Knock out 15 or twenty a week and you're good.

Scott,

I am open size 1 1/5x 1 1/5 x 2 on up I would prefer 12"

If round 1 1/5 or 2" by I am open to length

As far as material what ever is easy to turn and polishes well.

Thanks

Manufacturers of acrylic will talk with you, if you plan to spend several thousand dollars at a time, repeatedly.

The amount you are thinking about would not even be 50 pounds (in weight). I am small--my shipments are several hundred pounds (and several thousand dollars) every couple months.

You are much better advised to talk with the "home casters" and get polyresin or Alumilite.
