TYPES OF SUBSTRATES

Signs are made from many types of substrates. Determining which one fits your needs the best relies on several factors which we can help you with. Below are the basics to consider when trying to make a decision.

1) How long do you intend for your sign to last. Is it going to be used temporarily or permanently?

2) Is it going to be used indoors or outdoors?

3) Do you want it to be illuminated? 

Here are some of the most commonly used sign materials available in the sign industry. Most are available as 4'x8' sheets in many colors & thicknesses. Aluminum products such as Dibond & Alumilite are also available in 10 foot lengths. Lexan comes in  a few different widths and is provided to our suppliers in rolls wich are then cut to length. Cedar & HDU have a variety of thicknesses as they are mainly used for dimensional & sandblasted signs. Each product below has a brief discription of it's most common use.

Some of the pictures are provided with links so you can go to the manufactures' web site and learn more.
