Reflective Aluminum Signs

Not necessarily. The vinyl overlay will be a smooth surface but will not have a glossy shine like you would expect with a photo print. The printed area on the vinyl will have a slightly matte finish due to the ink being printed but this will be far from feeling or looking like a textured wall or surface.

The default color of the underlying aluminum portion of the sign is painted white before the vinyl overlay is applied. This white background may be used as a part of the artwork you'll have printed on your sign. You can also use a different background color for your design which we will then print on the vinyl overlay. Doing so will cover the white background.

Yes. Our reflective aluminum signs are made for indoor and outdoor use. They’re corrosion-resistant, and the reflective sheeting makes these signs easy to see during the daytime or in low light. We recommend that you don’t place your sign where heavy winds may blow it over lest it crashes into other objects, gets dented or warped, or become a road hazard.

Your sign may dent or warp if it’s placed in a high wind area and crashes into another large object. This could happen to very large signs (96” x 48”) that are mounted between two posts. If you must install larger signs where high winds are frequent, we recommend that you use a middle post to provide extra stability.

Your reflective signs will not warp with day usage. Please note that no matter the size, there’s always some risk of bending any aluminum sign. However, less bending is expected from smaller-sized signs versus larger ones. Our signs tend to bend less than most aluminum signs in the market, but we still recommend securing your reflective aluminum sign to help prevent any damages or deformation.

Your sign should never rust, even when subjected to wet weather conditions. Aluminum is a corrosion-resistant material and should be able to withstand exposure to water and moisture.

Reflective aluminum signs are a versatile indoor and outdoor signage option, but they are most often used outside homes and establishments. These uses include but aren’t limited to traffic and parking signage, roadside signage for residential and highway/interstate roads, safety and regulation signage in buildings and businesses, real estate signs, directional signs in parking garages, businesses, parking lots, and property signs including construction sites.

We print your signs using ink that is scratch-resistant. In addition, the vinyl overlay makes it unlikely to scratch the aluminum portion of your sign. It is much more likely to damage the vinyl overlay than to damage the sign itself. With the exception of damaging the aluminum or overlay portion of your sign intentionally, it would be very rare to see your sign peel away or get scratched.

No. The vinyl overlay portion of the sign should not peel away with normal usage. It is applied using an extremely strong adhesive backing. Only deliberate efforts to peel the vinyl away should impact this part of your sign.

Your sign can be mounted on numerous surfaces such as wood, concrete, or brick. Before installing your sign, drill pilot holes into the surface and then use bolts or screws to mount it. If you choose to drill the holes on the sign yourself, start by plotting the holes and measuring the spacing in between carefully before drilling.

These signs can also be hung in a variety of ways such as with strings or using metal chains. Double-sided tape or strong adhesives can also be used to stick these signs to a surface. We recommend mounting the signs using bolts or screws because they secure the sign best.

You should store your reflective aluminum sign in a cool, dry place and at room temperature. If you have multiple signs, be sure to place a soft fabric between each sign especially if you’re stacking them together or leaning them against one another. This way you can keep your signs from getting scratched. It’s best to store your signs horizontally assuming nothing heavy is placed on top of them. Also, avoid putting them underneath heavy objects as doing so can damage the sign over time.
