Help me find an alternative word for acrylic

    Hey all,
    THis might seem like a strange request but I need a "softer" word for acrylic. I'm selling acrylic plaques and markers, and have decided to move onto ebay. However, "acrylic plaques" or something along those lines doesn't exactly catch the eye, especially since most people are unsure of what acrylic is. So looking for an alternative, or even an approximation- even something like fauz-stone, except less obvious if you know what I mean.

    I leave it in your capable hands.

    Thanks in advance.

    Replica? Reproduction? (I know it doesn't convey acryilic particularly well, but does convey the fact that these are not from original materials). What are you trying to sell?

    Ersatz?
    Synthetic?
    Falschsstein?

    Thanks for the replies. I decided on Polymer. It's not exactly what I'm looking for, but it's a good approximation, and it sounds less strange than some of ym alternatives!
