Acrylic Signs

Acrylic signs are made of an extremely versatile plastic sheet with a glossy finish, which is also known as Plexiglas®. Acrylic is the perfect choice when you want signs with a sophisticated, high-tech look. Highly durable and available in a variety of colours, acrylic is often used for illuminated, architectural, exhibition and point-of-sale signs.

Acrylic Sign Ideas

Increase the visual effectiveness of your acrylic signs by:

Adding stripes and borders
Applying multiple lettering colours
Incorporating a logo or graphic symbol
Using multiple layers of acrylic to enhance the image
Creating a three-dimensional effect—giving the perception of depth to the finished product—using clear acrylic and applying a background colour to the reverse side
Designing custom applications
Using bent easels
Using non-glare acrylic to reduce glare problems

Installation

Acrylic signs may be displayed in several ways:

Self-supporting (bent easel)
Hanging
Using Velcro®
Gluing
Using double-sided tape
Applying suction cups

Care

Do not leave acrylic in direct sun or in an extremely warm vehicle; it may bow or bend if not laying flat
Handle acrylic signs with care because acrylic scratches easily and can shatter or chip upon impact
Use acrylic signs for long-term indoor use or for short-term outdoor use in areas protected by overhangs or awnings. (This does not apply to acrylic used in light box signs)
