For the team at Image Technique, acrylic is one of our favourite mediums for creating signage. Call us biased, but the way that acrylic lends itself to such a wide variety of eye-catching and practical designs makes the material a genuine pleasure to work with.
For customers, too, acrylic signage is popular because of its affordability and versatility, lending a polished and professional touch to any commercial environment. Here’s a look at why acrylic signage continues to be a winning choice for office spaces, retail shops, and even healthcare facilities.
1. Stylish and professional appeal
If you want to make a good first impression on customers and visitors, acrylic signage delivers with style and panache. The clean and modern appearance of an acrylic sign exudes sophistication and class, immediately elevating your brand image. Whether you use a sign to display your business logo behind the reception desk, or to create subtle directional signage throughout your building, acrylic signs command attention from passers-by with their high-quality sheen and durable, glass-like finish.
2. Cost-effective elegance
Well-made acrylic signs have the timeless style and elegance of glass signage at a pinch of the price, striking the perfect balance between luxury and affordability. As a high-end material for signage used in restaurants, designer shops, and stylish corporate meeting rooms, acrylic is hard to beat. Despite its premium appearance, however, acrylic signs are deceptively cost-effective to commission, install, and maintain. This means that you can afford to upgrade your branding and signage strategy when required without a huge outlay, and it makes high-end signage more accessible for smaller businesses and start-ups.
3. Endless versatility
Acrylic can be fashioned into signs that work wonderfully across a wide range of applications. From huge impressive entranceway signs to tiny desk nameplates and door numbers, acrylic adapts itself effortlessly to different roles. This is one of the things that makes acrylic so fun to work with for our team, but for our customers it also delivers near endless versatility in the ways you can improve your customer experience and enhance navigation. Acrylic is perfect for creating functional and attractive wayfinding signs that combine visual appeal with usability and low maintenance.
4. Low maintenance and high-impact
Acrylic signs may look like they are going to be high maintenance to maintain, but in this sense they are misleading. Compared to the delicate, expensive glass signs that some of them resemble, it’s quick and straightforward to keep acrylic clean and looking its best. Often, a soft cloth and warm soapy water is all that is needed to maintain the sparkle of your signage. Acrylic also doesn’t attract dirt and dust as easily as glass, helping to keep your signage fresh and inviting, even in the direct sunlight. Another bonus is that acrylic is strongly resistant to UV fading, degradation, and warping which, combined with modern mounting and adhesive methods, makes modern acrylic signage ideally suited to outdoor applications, as well as signs inside your building.
