You're looking for a plastic sign, but there seems to be a lot of information to sort through. So which type of plastic sign fits your needs best?

* Acrylic
* PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
* Coroplast
But first, you need consider the factors that are most important when deciding on the right plastic sign material…
It's important to consider these questions:
Is my sign going outdoors or staying inside?
What kind of "look" do I want (upscale or casual and fun)?
Is my sign for temporary or long-term purposes?
Keep these things in mind as you learn about features of the different materials.
Acrylic signs
Acrylic signs can be for both indoor and outdoor use. They have an upscale, sophisticated look which makes them popular for use in corporate interiors. Acrylic is both lightweight and thin, making it easy to mount. We also offer standoffs for acrylic, which are highly polished gold or silver mounting accessories that have a very high-end look.
A few more facts:
* Acrylic is the only sign material available in clear panels. A clear sign is very popular because it looks modern and expensive.
* Acrylic signs have a rich, high gloss finish
* They are waterproof and can withstand extreme temperatures
* You can only print on one side of an acrylic sign
* Acrylic signs are exceptionally durable
* Like most plastic signage, acrylic is fairly inexpensive
PVC signs
PVC signs are for indoor use only, as extreme heat can cause the material to warp. But they are durable and professional looking, which make them the most compatible material choice for indoor signage.
A few more facts:
* PVC signs are very easy to mount with screws, Double Sided tape, or other accessories. We can also pre-drill holes if you're planning to hang your sign from a ceiling.
* PVC is waterproof
* The smooth, satin finish eliminates glare and reflection
Coroplast signs
Coroplast signs, made of tough, corrugated plastic, can be used both indoors and outdoors. While they can last decades indoors, they are best suited for temporary purposes when outdoors. They're great for one-day events such as sales, yard signs and other temporary purposes. And their hollow, fluted design makes them extremely lightweight and easy to handle.
A few more facts:
* Coroplast signs are very inexpensive
* They last up to 2 years outdoors
* Coroplast can withstand extreme temperatures
* Both sides of coroplast signage are printable
* The slightly ribbed surface looks like "plastic cardboard"
* Coroplast signage is waterproof
* They are easy to display and mount
