This plastic will also bond well with adhesives used to complete the sign and handle the weather outside in Charlotte easily. Acrylic is also known by a brand name, plexiglass sign, but the two materials are the same.

Acrylic is such a flexible material that signs made out of it can be used for a huge range of purposes.

Acrylic provides outstanding optical clarity for brilliant color reproduction and image sharpness.
Yes. Acrylic signs are durable because they can be made up to 1/4″ thick and are typically protected with plexiglass or an acrylic glaze. This makes them very durable and lightweight. You can even drill through them without breaking or cracking! This is a huge benefit for acrylic signs for your business.

Acrylic is a man-made plastic that is formed into fibers or different shapes, typically solid rather than hollow. It is considered to be the same type of material as polyacrylonitrile, which has been used in textiles since its discovery.
This is the plastic that we use in most of our signs.
The life of the sign depends upon the type of material, element, and conditions it is subjected to. Acrylic signs are very durable, but they are often exposed to elements that can degrade the sign.
As long as you take care of the sign, it will last you a long time.
Yes! Acrylic signs are 100% waterproof and can be used outside as long as they are properly installed. Proper installation is the key to a long sign life!
We know that accidents happen, so whether you have a spill, or the elements get to the sign, you won’t have to worry about things getting ruined.
The answer is both yes and no. Acrylic signs are an excellent choice for indoor or outdoor use where moderate weather will not affect them, but they are not the best choice for extreme weather conditions.
If you do have extreme weather conditions, let us know. We can suggest some stronger materials.
Yes, some types of acrylic turn yellow. Acrylic signs are popular because the letters are very durable. But it is possible for acrylic signs to turn yellow after many years. This is caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light rays.
But don’t worry about that too much. This takes a very long time.

Signs should be made of 1/4″ or 3/16″ thick acrylic. This is because acrylic is very rigid, and it will not bend, giving the sign its strength.
