Acrylic Signs

Acrylic signage can be used in a variety of ways. The most common uses include internal signs in office settings such room plaques and number signs, concierge areas, building directories, etc. Acrylic signs are also commonly used for exterior locations like commercial business parks and entrance/exit signs. They also look great in professional service settings such as dentist, physician/doctor, lawyer, and accountant offices due to their clean and polished look.

Yes. Acrylic signs are a great option for both indoor and outdoor use. While using them outdoors increases the chance of them being scratched or damaged, they are perfectly capable of withstanding the elements. We would recommend that signs intended for outdoor use be printed “second surface” to help keep the printed portion crisp and protected from potential damage.

While it’s not impossible for an acrylic sign to get scratches, it should be able to remain scratch-free with proper care and when positioned away from too much action like people or objects brushing past it. Exercise care and caution when handling, posting, and storing your sign so that it doesn’t come into contact or rub against other sharp surfaces or objects that may scratch it. The actual printed area of your sign should not fade over time. We print directly onto the acrylic surface with UV ink which is weather, fade and abrasion resistant. Printed portions of the sign can scratch or rub off. Thus, we recommend printing on the back side of the sign whenever possible.

It is possible that your sign will show minimal bends, but this can depend on the size of the sign itself. Bends are usually much more noticeable with larger signs. Whether you order a small or large sign the pliability with the acrylic should not be a concern for day-to-day use. Keep in mind that acrylic is not glass but a hard plastic. If you’re ordering very large signs, we recommend that you add some kind of middle to protect it from being deformed.

Acrylic signs can be placed or installed both indoor and outdoor, and they may be affixed to rigid surfaces such as wood, metal, concrete, o drywall. We recommend selecting drilled holes and standoffs when ordering your sign so that you can easily post your sign in your desired spot. The standoffs come with wall anchors and screws that can be used to post your sign.

To install your acrylic sign, drill a pilot hole before inserting the anchor. Then, drill your screw into the anchor in the rigid surface. Lastly, screw on the standoff cap for each drilled hole on your sign. Acrylic signs can also be hung using the drilled holes and a variety of accessories including rope, bungee cord, zip ties, etc. If you’re using your acrylic sign in a professional office, we recommend that you use standoffs to mount them so you can achieve a sophisticated look.

You can clean your acrylic sign by using a damp, non-abrasive cloth. You can also dampen your rag using mild detergent mixed with water. Regular cleaning will ensure that your sign and the printed portion of the sign remain clear and vibrant.

Storing your acrylic signs is very easy to do. Simply store them in a cool dry place at room temperature. Avoid scraping or rubbing them against abrasive or sharp objects to avoid scratching. We recommend covering them or inserting some kind of soft fabric in between signs if you are storing more than one piece in the same box of shelf.

Yes, you can recycle our acrylic signs. We recommend that you check your state’s recycling guidelines so you can dispose of your acrylic sign properly.
