Sign Materials

No matter where it will be displayed, we have the perfect material for your sign.

Vinyl

  • The most common component in today's sign industry, vinyl is cost effective, easy to install, and versatile.

  • Almost everywhere! It can be custom cut into decals and lettering, printed directly on any kind of sign, or create frosted glass and transparent window signs.

  • Examples include: A dry erase board with your company logo, window frosting with designs printed directly on them, and stickers or magnets that feature your company.

Banners

  • Banners consist of a heavy vinyl, inlaid with fabric mesh to provide reinforcement and durability. Our banners come in several different weights depending on your needs.

  • Banners are a cost effective way to make an announcement, advertise, or showcase your business.

Fabrics

  • We offer two types of fabric: Canvas and polyester. Canvas is a heavy fabric, while polyester is more malleable.

  • Canvas is mainly a decorative element. A custom canvas print can add to any room, and it adds an exhibit quality to any advertisement. Polyester can also be decorative–as a table cover or runner–it's often used as an indoor banner.

Polystyrene

  • Polystyrene sheeting is a tough, rigid material that resists dents and cracking.

  • Good for any poster backing, polystyrene is great for any type of indoor signage or temporary outdoor event.

Foamcore

  • Foamcore is a light and rigid board of polystyrene sandwiched between outer layers of stock paper

  • Foam core is best for onetime usage, as the material can bend or dent easily. We often use it for event signage and presentations.

Coroplast

  • Corrugated plastic, or coroplast, is a ridged plastic material.

  • We often used it as an affordable, self-standing option for yard signs, events, real estate, and service promotions.

PVC

  • PVC is a rigid, plastic board with a textured surface for a matte appearance.

  • Because custom graphics adhere easily to PVC, we like to use it as an inexpensive interior display option.

Gatorboard

  • Gatorboard is the industry's leading heavy-duty foam board.

  • More durable than foamcore, gatorboard is another great solution for event signage.

Plexiglass

  • Plexiglass has outstanding physical, mechanical, optical, chemical resistant, and thermal properties.

  • Plexiglass has a variety of uses: back-lit electrical signs, plaques, and to use when you want to make a logo "float" from the wall or create interesting lighting effects.

Aluminum

  • Aluminum metal signs come in a variety of colors and thicknesses.

  • Aluminum is commonly used for real estate frames and custom parking signs, great for outdoors as it doesn’t rust.

Aluminum composite

  • Aluminum Composite Material (ACM) is a rigid sheet, made of two sheets of pre-finished aluminum, bonded to a polyethylene core. Lightweight, without sacrificing durability, ACM signs come in a variety of colors and thicknesses.

  • ACM sheets are often used for outdoor signage as a more rigid option compared to thinner .040 aluminum.

MDO Board

  • An affordable–yet sturdy–wood product with a smooth white finish

  • MDO is the ideal choice for site signs, offering leasing, rental and building information for property managers, and commercial real estate companies.
