5 Reasons to Use Acrylic Signs

Acrylic provides a professional appearance.

Clear and frosted vinyl used on an acrylic surface with standoffs.

The shine of the plastic offers a more classy, professional look that business owners enjoy in their office environments. The high gloss exterior offsets and enhances the well-designed logo.  Acrylic can be chosen as a color or used as a clear or frosted backing.   These signs can create a lasting impression on any client.

Acrylic can be relatively inexpensive.

Acrylic indoor signs are actually quite affordable for the impressive look they provide. The material helps convey an upscale atmosphere but the price doesn’t break the bank. So, compared to wooden signs, acrylic can be an affordable material choice.

Add a specialty finish to acrylic.

Adding a metal finished backer to the clear acrylic that showcases a brushed or mirror finished through the clear surface can add a touch of class to signs. Using colored vinyl lettering applied to the front or back of the acrylic can add a distinguished effect.

Mounted for Effect.

Acrylic signs are typically mounted with polished or brushed hardware called “standoffs”, which give custom signs a very professional look. Standoffs literally make the signage “stand off” the wall with front mounted screw caps that add to the professional effect. When combining acrylic with either gold or silver hardware to mount your acrylic signs it provides a very refined and impressive appearance to clients.

Acrylic is versatile!

Creating beveled edges or lighting to your acrylic can add a dimensional effect. Acrylic is not recommended for long-term outdoor use. When placed in direct sunlight, acrylic can bow or bend due to the heating of the plastic. Acrylic signs are perfect for mounting inside to increase brand awareness and edify the high quality of your services to your clients!
