I have known of TAP Plastics since the early 1970s. Recently I needed a custom circle made from their ChemCast EdgeLit acrylic. This was not available from the standard website ordering system. Customer service rep Vanny, from their Stockton CA location, contacted me quickly by email to confirm what I wanted. In a short time my order was being processed. I ordered a total of four pieces of acrylic, one was custom, and they all arrived faster that expected. The pieces are very professionally cut and have their polished edges as requested. This is top notch quality at very reasonable price. read more

Tap Plastics always has what I need, whether it's in their store or picking it up from their warehouse. I use a lot of the 1 gallon & 1/2 gallon bottles for sauces and seasonings for my catering business. Great customer service, staff is very welcoming and always happy to greet you when you walk in the door. Melissa helped me out and answered all my questions regarding a project I'm working on. She is very knowledgeable on TAP Plastics products and how to use them. Great job! read more

Vanny Chin is so incredible! Several of us had difficult orders that required lots of math on her part to figure out how we could each save money. She went through so many renditions as we changed the orders MULTIPLE times. She even combined our orders where it made sense to save us even more money. Each time she was so patient and pleasant and encouraged us to make as many changes are we wanted to insure our satisfaction. When our orders were finally placed she emailed us right away to let us know the orders were ready for pick up. I am blown away by Vanny and appreciate her so much! Even though I live much closer to another Tap Plastics I am tempted to make the Stockton branch my go to store from now on. Thank you Vanny for everything! read more

My wife wanted to line the rack in her closet with Plexiglas so the ones on the bottom would not have rack indentations... Yes I love her. I searched the web and found TAP Plastics. Ordering my custom fit was easy, the quality of the product excellent; careful packaging, yes; turn around time, short; price, competitive. They really are the "The Fantastic Plastic Place". read more

If you need help with your personal project before you place your order, ask for Vanny and Louie. You will truly receive excellent service backed by two qualified and knowledgeable individuals. I had another project that needed help to determine exact measurements for supplies that would fit perfectly into my equipment. They both showed such a great concern and spirit to assist me to make sure I received exactly what I needed and at the best cost. I am very pleased. Another great experience! read more

Always super helpful and knowledgeable about Everything I need help with thank you and great parking also

Melissa and Jerry are awesome. I have used TAP a handful of times now and have always had an amazing experience.

I've come here twice so far since their opening and both times i was treated fantastic! They have great out the door prices and their price match is great! Definitely will be recommending this store to everyone in the area! read more

"Bespoke", a 2sq ft piece of 3/8" abs black plastic? Hmmm. I found the piece on Amazon for $29, you quoted $45. There is nothing bespoke about the piece unless your cutting machine is bespoke. read more

Very professional and they do great work!! They did all the measurements and the cutting for my project Thanks for another fanplastic job! I'll be back soon read more

WOW!! Talk about GREAT customer service! I went to Tap Plastics in Stockton to have a step made for my little dog. They suggested a non-slip material and without my asking had all the edges ground so they would be smooth and not scratch my dog or my floor. On top of that my order was ready way sooner than promised. It's rare these days to find staff members who actually think. Melissa definitely went above and beyond! read more

Love coming here for all my acrylic needs. Vanny is amazing and always helpful! Great staff all around

Super friendly on the phone and in person.. helped us solve a problem of height with our new stove!! Quick service, helped us and cut plastic even though 15 minutes before closing! read more

Not a friendly place to shop and buy plastic. Woman behind counter made it perfectly clear she did not approve of any people of color to shop at her store in Stockton, Ca. Racist to to core and she seemed very self-assertive of it. I'm guessing this is an accepted value and culture environment for Tap Plastics. read more

Earlier this year, I swung by Tap Plastic location in Stockton, as I needed a new pair my for my picture frames in my house. The associate manning name KENNETH SY the store was super friendly and offered to help after noticing that I was unsure of what to buy. He took the time to find out what I needed and what my preferences were, and then he walked me through the different brands they had. He then hand-picked out couple frames that best fit the shape for my picture frames, and he even compare different products to show me the price differences. It was a great experience and I appreciated the employee's sincere effort. read more

Jerry Estes, at TAP plastics in Stockton was our fabricator . We had searched long and hard for a solution to our broken top on our circular patio table. Most other places said, "buy a new one", "we don't do that", or some other disinterested response Jerry was willing to discuss options with us, to make recommendations and suggestions and most importantly to welcome us down to the store to discuss further and to even prepare the new top for us. To make this even more valuable, he was even willing to discuss using some large plastic sheets we had and he'd just help us with the fabrication. So on a Saturday afternoon we arrived with 4 large sheets of plastic. Jerry remembered the discussion From several weeks before, and immediately set to, laying out the job description, adjusted our Measurements a little to ensure a great fit. Less than 2 hours later while we had lunch in mid-town, Jerry called us to say our tops were ready. Now we are proud owners of a new top (and we have 2 spare halves as well). Wow.. they look (and fit) great, with measurements accurate down to 1/16 inch! Did I say that while we were in the store Jerry showed us the new resin the store has to make "river top" tables? Even showed us a couple of images of one he'd made.. If you have a plastic related project in mind, I cannot recommend Jerry and Stockton TAP plastics too highly.. read more

Problem: Replace wood pull-out cutting board with one made out of plastic for longer durability. Dimensions: 19 7/8" Wide x 23 5/8" Deep x 3/4" High, with Pullout of 20 7/8 Wide x 7/8" Deep x 3/4" High custom made of Plastic or Wood. After forty years of my mom chopping, cutting, pounding, kneading, and whatever a cutting board takes in punishment over that time... it's time to replace the nasty looking thing. Didn't want glass, as I heard from others that glass will dull your knife faster. The only material remaining was plastic or polyethylene, FDA approved of course. Tap Plastics price - minus pullout handle - without FDA certification - $90. With some research on the Internet - found ( www.cuttingboardcompany.com ) - price for the same dimensions also without pullout handle, but certified by FDA as safe - $54. And, they'll round the board edges for you (in the event you don't want to use your cutting board as a weapon)... at no additional charge! Now, I ask you... where would you buy your next plastic replacement cutting board? read more

Over the years I've dealt with this store several times with small projects, never something this important to me. So when I went in to see Melissa with a cardboard sample of what I wanted my Indian motorcycle windshield look like, she assured me that I wasn't asking for something that hadn't been done before. She listened patiently and then expertly deciphered what I was trying to convey so that the guys in back understood. My windshield was ready as promised and I was TOTALLY overwhelmed with the finished product! These guys are true craftsmen and I highly recommend their work! I promise you won't be disappointed! read more

I've spent thousands at this store, and would probably spend thousands more. In 20 years they've never made a mistake, until today. They cut my material short, no big deal, but they didn't have replacement material. Still no big deal, cut me another small piece, I'll glue it to the bottom and I'm still ok, until the actually charged me for the glue that I needed to fix their mistake. Only $13, but very poor judgemnet. I'll not go back until I've spent the next thousand dollars somewhere else. read more

I am a huge fan of this store. I've been there 3 times now expecting to place my order and come back, only to be told it would be completed while I wait. I replaced all of the walls to a snow cone machine, all parts fit perfect and looks great. I had 30 pieces cut for signs, and they were ready in about 10 minutes. Great product, excellent customer service. read more

I came to TAP Plastics to see if I could get a custom plastic display case made for a unique book I received. Dominic and his team went above and beyond to deliver the best service possible. I was extremely happy with the case they created for me and their great customer service. Due to their efforts, my book is now beautifully propped up in my living room. I highly recommend TAP Plastics to anyone who needs anything custom built read more

Well I needed a piece of 1/4" obscured polycarbonate and decided to call Tap Plastic since is close to my work. I was told I was getting a discount because they only had 1 piece left and that piece would cover what I needed. I was quoted $225.00. Feeling like it was a high price I decided to call around and Interstate Plastic quoted me $75 less at $151.84 and that's including shipping for the same size piece and material. Just goes to show that convienence isn't always worth it. read more

Sent me defective epoxy. Been sitting in storage so long, it solidified. For a business whose stock-in-trade includes resin, it's sad that they will sell you products that are WELL past their shelf life. read more

I could have never have done an acrylic frame for my aboriginal poster if it had not been for Dave Freeberg !

I called TAP Plastics with a last minute project that had a short lead-time. Not only did they provide the pieces earlier than quoted, the pieces turned out better than expected! I really appreciate Melissa's patience in working through the project over email to ensure it was made to our specifications and the entire crew for getting the project done. read more

This is one of those secret and undiscovered places of Stockton. You can have these people construct pretty much anything if they don't have it on their shelves. Some of the things they have on their shelves are the same organizing items you'd find at Bed Bath and Beyond.... for a fraction of the cost. It's a small store, so don't expect some super store. read more

We use TAP all the time. Nick was especially helpful when we were making a decorative space for our shower door. He took the time to make sure it was correct and perfect. They are always great. read more

Terrific customer service! Nick and Josh took great care of my request today. Thank you for cutting and finishing, right away. This is my fourth time using this specific location and I have never been let down. Thank you and keep up the good work. read more

Today the young red headed girl and young short haired guy were very uneducated in the bulk pricing of their products. We called ahead before driving an hour to get bulk pricing. When we got there the clerks said there wasn't a bulk price and whoever we spoke to was wrong. My husband told them that he felt like he was getting the run around. Finally they went and got a manager who confirmed we were correct. No apology from the clerks in fact they were quiet and quite rude even though my husband was friendly and stated he was glad they cleared that up. The red head girl wouldn't even respond or wish us a good day or say thank you for the $500+ we had just dropped. I've met one other clerk before who was a guy with long hair and he was very friendly, maybe they should consider having him train the rest of the staff on customer service. We will buy direct from now on. read more

I lost all respect for this business based on my interactions with the store manager. He was extremely unprofessional and downright rude. As the manager, I think that this individual should have represented the brand with a little more integrity than what he did. A miscommunication had been made based on shipment of an item, and rather than accept responsibility for the miscommunication, the manager outright rejected any responsibility (although they were ultimately at fault in this circumstance). The manager argued with me repeatedly - despite physical evidence of TAP Plastics' fault in the matter. Furthermore, once I informed him that I would likely not use their services again, he became even more unprofessional and rude. Future customers - if you have requirements beyond going to the store to leave with your product, stay away. read more

Today i went in to see if they could make something for me. The young red/brown headed girl was super rude. Everything i said she answered with a horrible attitude. I don't think i'll be going back. read more

My sister recently had cataract surgery and needed to replace only one lens of her glasses. We were quoted prices from $60-$100 at glasses places, just for a blank lens!! I had recently dealt with TAP Plastics in Fremont and thought of calling them. We found TAP Plastics in Stockton and stopped by. The young man that helped us that day was very very helpful! He even tried numerous ways to get the lens out of the glasses so they could trace the shape. They gave us a price of $20 for 2 different lenses, including labor! Wow were we thrilled! We went back the next day to pick up the lenses and Jerry brought out them, saying he had never made something like this before. He was super helpful in making sure they fit perfectly, even remaking one of them in a thinner plastic at no extra charge!! Anyone out there who needs to temporarily replace just one lens of their glasses with a piece of plastic should definitely check out their local TAP Plastics!!! Thanks bunches guys! DeeDee read more
