One of the most common questions buyers face is whether to purchase ACP sheets directly from a manufacturer or through a dealer. Both options have advantages, and the right choice depends on project scale, technical requirements, and service expectations.

Buying directly from a manufacturer often provides better access to technical information, customization options, and consistent quality. Manufacturers control raw materials, coatings, and production processes, which ensures traceability and reliability. For large commercial or institutional projects, manufacturer sourcing reduces the risk of material mismatch.

Dealers, on the other hand, offer convenience and faster availability. Local dealers often stock standard colors and sizes, making them suitable for small or urgent projects. They also provide localized support and logistics coordination.

However, buyers must ensure that dealers are authorized and that the material supplied matches manufacturer specifications. Unauthorized sourcing can lead to quality inconsistencies and warranty issues.

For critical projects, a manufacturer-backed dealer network—such as that supported by Jiva Bond—offers the best of both worlds: local availability with assured quality.
