When it comes to eye catching signage that can stand the test of time and fulfil a multitude of design, customisation and safety considerations – there is one superior substrate that can deliver on all fronts. That is acrylic.
With incredible versatility and endless design potential, this tough plastic is widely used by a huge number of businesses wishing to promote their brand. From restaurant and retail boards to trade show exhibits, point of sale and office signage – acrylic is the go-to choice for many advertisers due to its significant benefits over other materials.
Why Choose Acrylic
One of the beauties of acrylic is that it is far more versatile than many other substrates - including glass. It is extremely malleable and can be cut or machined using CNC into very detailed shapes. This makes it perfect for those businesses with intricate design requirements. What’s more, it can be bent or curved to a desired shape using heat.
As well as lending itself well to customisation by shape, acrylic can also be easily coloured making it ideal for bright, memorable signage. Available in a wide range of shades (including the precise greenish tinge of plate glass) acrylic can take on solid opaque colour or maintain its translucency – ideal for illuminated signs with translucent graphics.
Superior Strength
Did you know that acrylic is up to 20 times stronger than glass but only half the weight? Due to its superior durability it can withstand heavy handling and can be easily relocated between premises due to its light weight. This makes it an ideal choice for businesses which relocate as they grow or travel frequently to exhibitions.
As well as being more cost-effective than heavier substrates, acrylic won’t shatter if dropped - something that should be considered when planning signage for public places. When combining this considerable safety feature with superior versatility and design potential – it’s easy to see why so many buildings, restaurants and retail chains choose acrylic for their signage.
The Many Forms of Acrylic Signage
So as you can see, acrylic offers businesses a near endless range of benefits when planning custom signage and is selected for a great range of products including:
- Point of sale displays
- Front lit & back lit graphic panels
- Retail signage
- Restaurant signage
- Building signage
- Office branding
- Directional & informational signage
- Home decoration
It is ideal for both indoor and outdoor use and can be mounted on stand off pegs to create a natural luminosity.
