Product Description
Coroplast is the leading brand of corrugated fluted plastic. It’s known for its rich, vibrant colors, high-quality, and durability. It’s extruded polypropylene twin-wall plastic, chemically inert, and free from additives.
Coroplast brand mixes color pigment into their resin which is fed into the machines at the time of extrusion. The pigment and resin are fully blended and then extruded, resulting in color consistently all the way through the sheet. The process creates a smooth, sleek finish.
Some brands can be ink-printed in a variety of colors on white corrugated plastic, creating a more matte finish, but may deteriorate over time for this application. Some others may use less pigment resulting in less vibrant colors.
Coroplast comes in thicknesses from 2mm - 10mm. We only use 4mm-5mm, which is ideal for cage bases, any thicker is too rigid and unnecessary; any thinner is too flimsy. There's a variety of Pantone standard colors. We also have a custom Pink and Lime color made for us.

- ✓ Lightweight

Frequently Asked Questions
❓ What thickness of Coroplast is used for cage bases?
We use 4mm to 5mm Coroplast sheets. This thickness provides the ideal balance of structural support and flexibility for cage bases. Thicker sheets are unnecessarily rigid, while thinner sheets are too flimsy.
❓ Is Coroplast safe and non-toxic for pets?
Yes, Coroplast is chemically inert, free from additives, and made from polypropylene twin-wall plastic. It is completely safe and widely trusted for guinea pig and hamster playpen enclosures.
❓ What are the main benefits of using Coroplast for pet enclosures?
Coroplast is lightweight, waterproof, stain-resistant, and 100% recyclable. It is highly resistant to chemicals, acids, and grease, allowing it to maintain a near-new appearance for years.
❓ Does the color of the Coroplast fade over time?
No. Unlike ink-printed sheets that can deteriorate or peel over time, genuine Coroplast blends color pigments directly into the resin before extrusion, ensuring consistent color throughout the entire sheet.
❓ Can the layout of the cages and playpens be customized?
Yes, our DIY panels and Coroplast bases can be easily configured, cut, and assembled into different shapes and layouts to fit your specific pet space requirements.
