Perks of Acrylic

When deciding on signage options, it’s not a bad idea to talk to some signage experts! If you’re envisioning a certain design but you’re not too sure of your options, give us a call. The last thing we’re going to do is up-sell you. We help you consider the best options for your project (that will withstand its environment), without breaking your wallet. Often times, that “best option” is an acrylic substrate.

What exactly is acrylic if we’re not talking about the paint? Acrylic, in signage terms, refers to a sheet of plastic-like material (similar to plexiglass) made to withstand weathering properties while still remotely flexible. In this brief blog, we’ll go over the benefits of acrylic and some of its uses!
