What is Acrylic Sign

 

Acrylic signs are made from a flexible, translucent polymer that mimics the appearance of glass. Unlike glass however, acrylic materials are much less susceptible to breaking, and are therefore preferred for their durability, particularly in outdoor settings.

Benefits of Acrylic Sign

 

Durability and Longevity
Acrylic is known for its durability, making it an excellent choice for both indoor and outdoor signage. It is resistant to weather conditions, UV rays, and general wear and tear, ensuring that your signage maintains its vibrant appearance for an extended period.

 

Visual Appeal
Acrylic signage boasts a polished and professional appearance that immediately grabs attention. Its glossy finish enhances the visual impact of graphics, colors, and designs, making your signage stand out in any setting.

 

Customization Options
Whether you' re aiming for a modern, minimalist look or a bold and vibrant design, acrylic signage offers a wide range of customization options. It can be laser-cut into intricate shapes, digitally printed with high-resolution graphics, and even engraved for a textured effect.

 

Lightweight and Easy to Install
Despite its sturdy nature, acrylic is surprisingly lightweight, making it easy to handle and install. This aspect is particularly advantageous for larger signage or displays that require mounting on walls or other surfaces.

 

Versatility of Applications
Acrylic signage finds its place in various contexts and industries. From retail stores and restaurants to office spaces and events, acrylic signage can be used for wayfinding, branding, information display, menus, and more.

Uses of Acrylic Signage

Retail advertising
If you' re a retail store looking to attract walk-in customers off of the street or help loyal customers find your store quickly, you' ll likely want to use custom acrylic signs to accomplish these goals. As acrylic signage can support internal and external lighting, your messaging will never lose its ability to reach out to customers, day or night.

 

Menu boards
If you' re in food services, you can use acrylic to create large menu boards that hang behind service counters. Acrylic graphics cause menu options to jump out to those viewing the board, improving a customer' s experience while ordering.

 

Office building signs
Acrylic office signs regularly serve as decoration for office buildings. They can be placed in reception areas, hallways or communal working spaces to make the area more visually appealing and provide important information.

 

Trade show exhibits
The glossy, attention-getting nature of acrylic signage makes it an ideal option for trade shows. At a trade show, you' ll be vying for the attention of attendees, so standing out from the competition is paramount. You can be confident that custom acrylic signs will gain the attention of people walking by and make your company appear professional.

 

Restaurant signs
People need to be aware of a restaurant in order for it to be successful. To spread awareness about your restaurant and become a premier location in your community, you can utilize restaurant signage to draw in foot traffic for an impromptu meal. Additionally, the signs can be designed in a way that sends a message about how casual or formal your restaurant is.

 

Point-of-purchase signs
Companies that use point of purchase signs will love the way acrylic can be modified. Point-of-purchase signs direct customers to a particular product in a store to either encourage customers to buy it or to try a free sample. In order to get their attention, these signs will often be customized to be as eye-catching as possible while also pointing the viewer to the product. Since acrylic is so customizable, it' s perfect for the needs of point-of-purchase signs.

 

Showroom signs
Companies that regularly hold auctions or sell high-level products often use acrylic signs to highlight the most appealing objects for sale. For example, businesses that run a car showroom will often strategically place acrylic signage near cars that a dealer is trying to sell. The signs will draw attention to the cars, while also providing information about the make, model, year and other relevant information.

 

Directional signs
Acrylic is also a fantastic option for wayfinding signage. Its visually appealing nature ensures people will notice the directions and know where they need to go. Since acrylic signs are durable, you won' t have to worry about your signs becoming damaged or obscured.

Types of Acrylic Signage
 

Contour-cut signage
These types of signage use acrylic as a base material. These signs have a minimal border if they have one at all. These signs are cut in the shape of the company name, company logo, or any other shape. As they don' t have any borders, they are more likely to catch the eyes of those who are walking by. Their elegant yet simple look sets a professional tone for an office space.

 

Custom acrylic panels
Acrylic panels work as a perfect canvas for customized murals inside or outside the office space. They resemble a glass-like surface and provide exceptional durability. To take the graphics to another level, the acrylic panels can be customized to glow all the time. This way, they can catch more eyes. They are perfect for office or retail store windows as they can easily draw attention.

 

Dimensional signage
Dimensional signs are three-dimensional that' s why they pop out of the surface on which they are mounted. Usually, a company' s name or logo is projected out on the signs. This helps the company to come up with graphics that last in the memories of the viewers for a much longer period. It creates a sharp contrast between the company' s logo and the background. As soon as someone enters your office, the dimensional signage stands out to them and they feel that they are at the right place.

Outdoor acrylic signage
Do you want to grab the attention of people walking by your building or advertise your business throughout the city? The outdoor acrylic signage can help you. They have long been used to grab attention. By placing these signs in high-traffic areas, your message will reach a much wider audience. Furthermore, these signs have superior durability without sacrificing the glass-like appearance.

 

Frosted acrylic signage
Because of its glass-like appearance, the acrylic supports frosted graphics. The frosted designs reduce the line of sight by several degrees. This type of signage is perfect for companies looking for greater privacy while allowing natural light to enter. They can be used on exterior-facing windows to get a stylish look. The frosted acrylic signage can also be used to provide greater privacy to employees. For example, if you have clear partitions in the office, you can replace them with frosted acrylic material.

How to Hang Acrylic Signs with Standoff Bolts

 

 

Figure out the best location. Before figuring out how to hang acrylic signs, you first need to figure out where you want to hang it. Choose locations that are easy to spot and well lit. You also want to make sure the walls are in good condition and ready to have acrylic signs—Or any signage, for that matter—Mounted.


Make sure it' s level. Before you start drilling any holes into the wall, position the sign on the wall (if it' s large get someone to help) and use a level to make sure the sides are even.


Mark the drill points. Use a pencil to mark where you will be drilling into the wall. Most acrylic signs come with pre-drilled holes where the standoff screws will be used to secure the sign to the wall. There should be four marks on the wall in each corner.


Drill the anchors into the wall. At each mark, use a drill to place each anchor, making sure they' re flush against the wall.


Separate the standoff cover and bolt. Remove the cover plate from the standoff cover by unscrewing the piece and putting it in a safe place. Then take the base (the hollow section) of the standoff cover and insert a wall screw into each standoff for installation.


Screw the standoff base into each hole. Drill the base into each hold, making sure that base is securely in the wall.


Align your acrylic sign. Line up the sign with the bolts in the wall.


Install the standoff caps. Place a washer on each standoff cap and screw each cap into the four bases. Don' t tighten too much, though, as it can damage the hardware.


Level again. Place your level on the sign to make sure it is straight on the wall.

 
Customizing Your Acrylic Sign
 

Lettering
Bold, clearly legible lettering is a must-have for businesses looking to catch customer attention. Letters that contrast with the background color and are easy to read at a distance are the best choice for outdoor signs, while refined lettering may be more appropriate for indoor wall signs.

 

Logos
You shouldn' t have to compromise when it comes to representing your brand. Since acrylic signs are printed in a broad range of vibrant colors, you can accurately depict company logos with perfectly-matched color choices.

 

Graphics
Adding images and design elements will make your signs pop. Customize your sign to incorporate photos, illustrations, and graphics.

 

Dual Side Printing
Most acrylic signs can be printed on either the front or the back of the panel. For a standard matte finish, feature your design on the front of the panel. Since the ink is exposed, these signs may be more prone to scratches and other signs of wear. For a glossier look, your design can be printed on the back panel.

What Design Elements Make Acrylic Signs Ideal for a Sophisticated Business Look

 

For generations, acrylic has been one of the most common sign materials in the industry. It's not "new" - It's always been there.


In the early days of illuminated signage, there was a time when real glass was used. Now, a lot of internally illuminated signs use polycarbonate sheets. But the main industry standard has always been acrylic. That has never changed.


What design elements make acrylic a good material? Are there even "design elements" to acrylic? If so, what are they? Acrylic is usually translucent, so it lets light through. This makes it a good material for backlit signage. That's a "design element," I guess. But it makes it a good material for all backlit signage, not just "complex" signage.


Acrylic is not suitable for many types of signage jobs because it shatters easily. For example, it's very unsuitable for yard signs. Also, acrylic doesn't work well with fasteners - it cracks and breaks easily. That's why in illuminated signs, it's always held in place by fasteners - plastic can never be penetrated.


Acrylic has many advantages. It's stable. It's resistant to chemicals and weather. It's light-resistant and doesn't fade easily. Sure, it can become brittle over time, but all plastics do with age.
Acrylic is not a "new" material to the sign industry. The industry has been using it almost since the beginning.

 
How To Clean Your Acrylic Logo Sign
 

Best Practices for Keeping your Acrylic Sign Looking New
Acrylic logos are fairly easy to clean, but there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure the best results. The most important thing to remember about cleaning acrylic signs is that you should never use any kind of cleaning agent that contains ammonia or harsh chemicals. Never use glass cleaners or common kitchen grease cleaners on your acrylic signs.
The next thing to remember is to avoid the use of any kind of rough scouring material. Rough scouring pads or cloths can cause the dirt you are wiping off to also be ground into the acrylic, causing tiny scratches.
Never wipe your acrylic logos with a dry cloth, as this can also grind the dirt into the acrylic in much the same way as scouring materials will do.

 
 

Washing the Acrylic Logo Sign
The best way to clean acrylic logo signs is with clean, lukewarm water and a clean, soft, nonabrasive, non-linting cloth. If the sign is large and located out of reach, you can use a pressure washer instead. Mild soap or detergent can be mixed with the lukewarm water when necessary.

 
 

Drying the Acrylic Sign
For a streak-free sign, dry with a clean, dry soft, non-linting cloth. Gently blotting the sign with the cloth is the safest way to ensure a beautiful result. For signs that cannot be easily reached, you can simply allow the sign to air dry.

 
 

Signs That Need More Than Soap and Water
If your sign has a more stubborn cleaning problem, you can purchase cleaning agents designed specifically for acrylic. Make sure to double-check that any cleaner you purchase, other than a mild soap or detergent, is safe to use on acrylic. These products are specially designed to clean, polish or buff acrylic and can be found at your local hardware store or online. Follow the directions on the product, use soft clean cloths, and your acrylic logo sign should continue to look as clean and brilliant as the day you bought it.
