Long bakery or café counter
You display unwrapped food along about a metre and you can accept a 3 mm freestanding lip. The Plasticraft 1,000 mm by 340 mm screen is about £58.93. The 3.8 from 5 is shared with another size.
The best sneeze guards, compared.
Top pick: Plasticraft 400 mm food screen, 5 mm Best value: Plasticraft 400 mm food screen, 5 mm – Highest price-credibility score on a different ASIN: the only 5 mm food lip, at about £24.26, with 4.0 from 1 review. It is short and 250 mm high. Updated October 2026.
A sneeze guard on amazon.co.uk is a clear barrier, usually acrylic. These seven listings are a low food screen for a bakery or café counter, a small desk panel, or a sheet sold for a car. UK food law requires you to protect unwrapped food from contamination. It does not name a sneeze guard or a height in millimetres. A screen is one method, next to a lid, mesh or film. It does not chill food, and it is not personal protective equipment. Judge width, height, thickness and fixing before the stars. No listing states a food-contact declaration, a British Standard, or a taxi approval. Measure the run in the [sneeze guard buying guide](/hub/occupational-safety/sneeze-guard/sub/sneeze-guard-buying-guide). Clips, adhesive holders and sink splash guards are not this category.

Question 1 of 2
What are you covering?
The Plasticraft 400 by 250 mm food screen is a 5 mm freestanding acrylic lip at £24.26, the thickest food screen in this set and the lowest Plasticraft shelf price. It is a U-shape with open sides and an open back, so staff serve from the side and the rear rather than through a slot. One amazon.co.uk review, 4.0 from 1 on 2 July 2026, calls it a solid piece and a good size, and the buyer had not tried it fully. At 250 mm high it will not cover a tall cake stack, and at 400 mm wide it covers only a short run of counter. The file states no food-contact declaration and no British Standard. In this set it is the best value when the open food is short and you want 5 mm rather than a longer 3 mm sheet.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You have a short run of unwrapped food and you want the only 5 mm food lip in this set.
Less suitable: The display is wider than 400 mm or taller than a 250 mm lip, or you need a stated food-contact standard.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the listing say it can sit on a café counter?
Yes. The bullets name bakeries, coffee shops, sandwich bars, delis, food stalls and retail food displays. A product question asks about café use and is not answered separately from those bullets.
Is it shatterproof, and does it include a separate stand?
The raw questions ask both. The file has no shatterproof answer. The bullets call it a freestanding counter-top screen. A separate stand is not listed.
What does the only UK review say?
One review, 4.0 from 1, on 2 July 2026, calls it a solid piece and a good size for that buyer, who had not tried it fully yet. No criticism is written.
The Plasticraft 1,000 mm by 340 mm food screen is a 3 mm freestanding acrylic lip at £58.93, the longest counter screen in this set. The title states 1,000 mm wide by 340 mm high, with an open back so staff can serve from behind. The star line reads 3.8 from 5, but the two captured UK reviews and the part number PFD 340B also appear on the 500 mm listing, so those stars are not a test of this width on its own. A metre of 3 mm sheet on feet can flex. A seller rule of thumb for clear sheet asks for about 4 mm once the width passes about 800 mm. No food-contact declaration or British Standard is in the file. In this set it is the top pick when the open food runs about a metre and you accept 3 mm.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You have a long bakery or café counter and you want the widest food lip in this set.
Less suitable: You want 5 mm, a till slot, a taxi screen, or a review that describes only the 1,000 mm size.
Specifications
Common questions
Who is the wide screen for?
The title states 1,000 mm wide by 340 mm high by 3 mm, for a bakery, café or counter. It is the longest food lip in this set. It is still a 3 mm freestanding sheet, not a screwed 5 mm screen.
Does the listing say it is easy to clean and usable in a café?
Yes. The bullets say wipe it as part of a daily hygiene routine, and they name cafés, coffee shops, bakeries, sandwich bars, delis and stalls.
Are the five stars only about this size?
The line says 3.8 from 5. The two captured UK reviews also appear on B09S3ZKSHW, with the same part number PFD 340B. Do not treat them as a separate test of the 1,000 mm screen.
The Plasticraft listing at £40.27 states a 3 mm acrylic food screen, with a size line of 500 mm by 340 mm and a title that also says 340 mm wide. That clash means you cannot be sure which way the 340 mm runs until the parcel arrives. The star line is 3.8 from 5, and the two captured UK reviews say the screen was as expected and a good size. The same part number PFD 340B, the same rank and those same review texts appear on the 1,000 mm listing, so this is not a separate test of a 500 mm sheet. A product question about protective film is unanswered. It is a freestanding U-shape for a bakery or café, not a screwed screen, and no standard is stated.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a lip that may be 340 mm high and you will check the live size line before you pay £40.27.
Less suitable: You need the width and the height to agree in the title, or a review file that belongs only to this size.
Specifications
Common questions
Which way round is 340 mm?
The title says various lengths, 340 mm wide, in 3 mm acrylic, then 500 by 340 mm. The size line is 500 mm by 340 mm. The file does not settle which number is the height.
Does it include protective film?
A product question asks. The capture has no answer.
Can the 3.8 from 5 be read on its own?
Two UK reviews are in the file: as expected, and a good size. The same part number, rank and review texts appear on B09S411PP5. Treat them as one shared block.
The SUPVOX screen is a flat acrylic panel of about 40 by 40 by 0.3 cm, weighing 500 g, at £11.89, with two tool-free feet. One UK review says it is smaller than expected, clear enough to see the person opposite, and has a cut-out for documents, and that the buyer left the protective film on for the journey to work. The same review says the feet hold the panel until they are knocked, when it would fall too easily. The bullets name desks, reception, classrooms and shops, and one bullet also calls it a food-display guard and a kitchen splash screen. A 40 cm panel does not cover a metre of cakes. Cleaning is stated as water only. With 3.5 from 2 reviews, it is a small desk barrier, not a food-counter pick.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a light panel between two people at a desk and you can live with a 40 cm square.
Less suitable: You are covering open food, or the screen will be knocked in a busy shop.
Specifications
Common questions
Will it cover a shop counter?
The bullets name shops, reception desks and food display. The stated size is about 40 cm square. One UK review says it is smaller than expected. It does not cover a long bakery run.
Does it need tools, and does it stay up?
The listing says tool-free setup. A review says two smaller acrylic pieces are the stands and hold it until they are knocked, when it would fall too easily.
Is there a gap to pass papers?
A UK review describes a cut-out for documents and clear acrylic. The bullets do not give the slot size. The same review left the protective film on for the journey to work.
The Plasticraft 500 by 250 mm screen is a 3 mm freestanding acrylic lip at £34.50, a step wider than the 400 mm sheet and still only 250 mm high. The bullets call it lightweight, with polished edges, and easy to position on a bakery or café counter, and they do not give a weight. The listing has no star line and no review text, so there is no buyer account of whether it stays put. In this set it shares an image URL with the 400 mm 5 mm listing, which does not prove the two sheets are the same part. You pay more than the 5 mm screen for a thinner lip. The listing still states no food-contact declaration.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want about 500 mm of counter cover and you accept a 3 mm sheet with no UK review in the capture.
Less suitable: You want the thicker 5 mm sheet, a rating you can read, or a lip taller than 250 mm.
Specifications
Common questions
Can it be used in a café, and does the listing say it blocks sneezes?
The bullets name cafés and say the screen helps protect bakery and café food displays while keeping food visible. That is a listing claim. The file has no test result.
Is it easy to move?
The bullets call it a lightweight freestanding counter-top design that is easy to position. They do not give a weight.
What do buyers say?
The listing has no customer-review line and no review text, so there is no star rating to read.
The Ecoodisk listing is a car and taxi partition at £67.50, with a title size of 60 by 60 cm and nylon ties to the headrest post, and it claims no tools. A bullet says the barrier is transparent and does not obstruct the view of the rear seat. The title says a 3 mm clear bezel, while another bullet says it is made of 4M vinyl and weighs about 4 lb, and the listing does not resolve that. There is no star line, no vehicle list, and no note on airbags, insurers or licensing. The rank sits under car boot bags, which is not a fitted partition. It is not a serving screen for a counter.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You are comparing a headrest sheet for a private car and you will check the material and the approval before anyone rides.
Less suitable: You need a licensed taxi partition, a settled material, or a food-counter lip.
Specifications
Common questions
Is it easy to fit, and will it fit any car?
The bullets say nylon ties to the headrest post and no tools. A question asks whether it suits any car. The file has no vehicle list.
Does it block the driver’s view?
A bullet says the barrier is transparent and does not obstruct the view of the rear seat. There is no licensing note and no airbag note in the file.
What is it made of?
The title says a 3 mm clear bezel, 60 by 60 cm. A bullet says it is made of 4M vinyl and weighs about 4 lb. The listing does not resolve that.
The generic partition at £59.99 has bullets that describe an acrylic sheet between the front seats and the rear seat, with a clear view between row one and row two. The title also says reception desk, and the file gives no size and no weight. Assembly is claimed as two steps with no special tools, and the fixing points are not named. A bullet says climate control is not hindered, and a question about shatterproof is unanswered. The cleaning bullet says a damp cloth and that household glass cleaner is most suitable, which acrylic sellers warn against because it can cloud the sheet. There is no rating and no licensing note. It is not a measured food lip.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want to see how a mixed car-and-desk title reads before you look for a partition your authority will accept.
Less suitable: You need a stated size, a food screen, or a listing that does not recommend glass cleaner on acrylic.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this a reception screen or a car screen?
The title says both. The bullets describe a barrier between the front seats and the rear seat, with a clear view between row one and row two. No counter size is given.
Does it block airflow, and is it shatterproof?
A bullet says climate control is not hindered. Shatterproof is asked and not answered. Neither point is measured.
How should it be cleaned, according to the listing?
The bullet says a damp cloth, and that household glass cleaner is most suitable. It also says that is to avoid scratches. There is no review text. Ammonia and glass cleaner can cloud acrylic.
Seven sneeze-guard listings on amazon.co.uk were scored on 20 October 2026 from the UK pages and the review notes already on those rows. This is not a laboratory test, a food-contact approval, or a licensing approval. Amazon evidence, counter coverage, material and fixing, and price credibility are weighted 20, 35, 25 and 20. Deductions can stack for a shared review pool, no star line, a listing conflict, or fewer than five reviews outside that shared block. A star rating does not certify the sheet.
Amazon evidence
20%Up to 20 points from the star line and a volume band. No star line scores 0. The 3.8 from 5 on the 500 mm and 1,000 mm Plasticraft rows is one shared pool, so both get the same star block and only the 500 mm row takes the shared-pool deduction.
Counter coverage
35%Up to 35 points for stated width and height against the job. A 1,000 mm by 340 mm food lip scores highest. A 40 cm desk panel and the car sheets score low because they do not cover a counter.
Material and fixing
25%Up to 25 points for thickness and a consistent fixing claim. The only 5 mm freestanding food lip scores highest. A title that clashes with the size line, or a car file that says both 3 mm and vinyl, scores low.
Price credibility
20%Up to 20 points for the shelf price against what the listing actually states. The 5 mm food lip at £24.26 scores highest on this block. An unrated car sheet at £67.50 scores low.
Start with the job, then width and height, then thickness and fixing. The notes below follow that order for these seven listings. None of the scores is a laboratory test or an approval.
A sneeze guard on amazon.co.uk is a clear barrier, usually acrylic. In this comparison it is one of three jobs: a low food screen for a bakery, café, deli or stall, a small desk or reception panel, or a sheet sold for a car or taxi. Clips, adhesive holders and sink splash guards are not this category. Seven listings stay in the table. None states a food-contact declaration, a British Standard, or a taxi approval. A star rating does not certify the sheet. Start with the job.

The SUPVOX screen is about 40 cm square at about £11.89. One review says it is smaller than expected. It does not cover a metre of cakes.
The 500 mm and 1,000 mm Plasticraft listings share a part number, a rank and the same review texts. Those stars are one pool, not a separate test of each width.
Neither car listing states a taxi approval. One mixes 3 mm with a vinyl bullet. The other mixes a car with a reception desk and names glass cleaner.
Food lips in this set are 400 mm, 500 mm or 1,000 mm wide and 250 mm or 340 mm high. A 250 mm lip leaves a tall cake stack above the sheet. A 40 cm panel leaves most of a counter open. The 1,000 mm by 340 mm Plasticraft screen is the only metre-wide food lip here, in 3 mm at about £58.93. The 500 mm by 340 mm listing at about £40.27 also says 340 mm wide in the title, so check the live size line. Car sheets are 60 cm in one title and unstated in the other. They are not counter widths.
The only 5 mm food screen is the 400 mm by 250 mm Plasticraft lip at about £24.26. The longer Plasticraft sheets are 3 mm and freestanding, so you can lift them to clean and they can tip or flex. Screwed uprights are outside this set. No row states a food-contact declaration, a British Standard, or a taxi approval. The Ecoodisk file says both 3 mm and 4M vinyl. Stars from the shared Plasticraft block are not two independent tests.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You display unwrapped food along about a metre and you can accept a 3 mm freestanding lip. The Plasticraft 1,000 mm by 340 mm screen is about £58.93. The 3.8 from 5 is shared with another size.
The open food is short and you want the only 5 mm food lip in this set. Plasticraft’s 400 mm by 250 mm screen is about £24.26, with 4.0 from 1 review. It will not cover a tall stack.
You want a light panel between two people and you can live with about 40 cm square. The SUPVOX screen is about £11.89. One review says the feet tip if they are knocked. It is not a food-counter pick.
In this set of seven amazon.co.uk listings, the top pick for a long counter is the Plasticraft 1,000 mm by 340 mm food screen at about £58.93, in 3 mm acrylic. The 3.8 from 5 reviews is a shared block, not a separate test of that width. The best value is the Plasticraft 400 mm by 250 mm lip at about £24.26, the only 5 mm food screen here, with 4.0 from 1 review, if the food is short and low. The desk panel and the two car sheets are different jobs. None of these scores is a lab test, a food-contact approval, or a licensing approval.

Plasticraft 400 mm food screen, 5 mm
Highest price-credibility score on a different ASIN: the only 5 mm food lip, at about £24.26, with 4.0 from 1 review. It is short and 250 mm high.
