Discussing signs generally can become a complex topic, especially if you are unfamiliar with the industry. Because we know engineering a sign can include a wide range of components and fabrication techniques we hope to give you some working knowledge of some of the materials and processes that are available when ordering your new sign.

Essentially it is a term used to describe the product of utilizing technologies and skills to fulfil the unique visual communication needs of a specific business or organization, in the efforts to be seen, communicate a message or make a visual impact on their audience. It is a broad term in the sense that many different looking signs could all be considered custom, but the determining factor is that your perfect sign is probably not sitting on a shelf somewhere waiting for you to order it. They are special ordered and have a lot of thought put into them. From concept to installation there are many decisions to be made and if you have never ordered a one of a kind sign, or it’s been a few years since you’ve updated your signage, it pays to have an experienced professional there to help. As time passes technologies advance and the better sign companies grow and invest in the latest equipment and technologies to expand their capabilities and resources. So even if you’re ordering from the same sign company it’s a good idea to get a tour of what they are capable of so you’re not limiting your new sign’s potential by not knowing what could be.

We’re going to talk about some of the elements that make up signage and the fabrication methods you should be aware of when ordering your new custom lobby sign, outdoor business sign, or that neon lit “vintage” brewery sign to complete your home bar aesthetics.

Let’s start with materials:

What are custom signs made of?

There are four main categories of materials used in signs which are:

• Wood
• Plastic
• Metal/ACM
• Foam

They each serve their own purpose and a knowledgeable Sign Company in Charlotte NC will guide you on the where’s and why’s but here’s a few of them so you can be knowledgeable yourself.

Wood Signs

Wood is great for achieving that rustic look or natural appeal. Wood signs can be made from glued panel boards, high-end wood slabs with and without live edges, and even plywood. Deciding which type of wood is best for your sign is mainly aesthetics, but some types of wood serve specific purposes better than others. For example, plywood tends to warp over time if not sufficiently adhered on all sides and a glued panel board would serve better if you were ordering a hanging sign.

Wood is pretty versatile and durable, depending on the grade and treatment, a well crafted wood sign can last years. Wood has the ability to be laser etched/cut and cnc routed, direct printed using flatbed printers or simply stained and used as the back panel for custom routed letters. It can be used as a frame or base for a sign or as a free standing sign itself. Wood signs can be interior or exterior, but the treatment of the wood and the additional sign elements should be intentional in regards to it’s installation environment. The wood used for signs varies so much depending on the individual sign that there aren’t common sizes or thicknesses to mention. However, there is such a variety of wood available that whatever your need is there’s wood to match.

PVC Signs

Plastic sign materials is a pretty large topic as well, so we’ll discuss a few of the most common types.

The most versatile plastic sign material is PVC or sometimes called sintra. PVC comes in many thicknesses and forms. The most common thicknesses are: ⅛’’, ¼” and ½” but it goes up from there in ¼’’ increments up to 2” thick. It comes in a variety of colors but it’s usually more cost effective to use white and print or paint it. There are benefits from using colored PVC, and most sign vendors have samples of available colors to choose from. The main benefit is the color is all the way through the material, so any scratches or external damages won’t remove the color from the sign as would happen if printed or painted, as well as the colors longevity in exposed environments. There are many color’s but it’s usually much easier to match colors with print or paint than it is to find a specific color of pvc if you are matching a branded color. PVC can be used as the substrate or backboard of a sign and it can be cnc routed to specific shapes like letters. Using pvc as a substrate should be limited to indoor use as it has a tendency to warp in extreme temperatures. This does not apply to using it for letters or shapes if adhered to a more durable substrate such as wood or metal. Because letters are attached to the substrate securely and bare virtually no weight it’s rare for them to warp.

Fabrication Methods:

• Adhesive Vinyl Application
• CNC routing for letters and custom shapes

Acrylic Signs

Another and maybe just as common sign plastic is acrylic. Acrylic signs can be made as a lighter more durable and cost effective substitute for glass signs. Acrylic comes in many colors and thicknesses as well. Common colors are clear, white and black but many colors are available, it also comes with textured finishes such a frosted and scalloped. Most common thicknesses are: ⅛”, ¼”, ½” but ¾” and 1” are available. Acrylic has the unique ability(of the plastics family) to be laser cut which achieves a glossy finished edge over cnc routing that leaves a frosted edge. Acrylic is usually what is used to achieve an illuminated box or backlit display as it is translucent and rigid. These properties also make it a great option to achieve an elegant look as both Indoor lobby signage and second surface painted laser cut letters. There are many applications for acrylic in signs, but we suggest to not use acrylic for applications that will take a lot of direct sunlight. The sun’s radiation will cause the acrylic to yellow overtime. The outdoor backlit signs you see are usually a type of polycarbonate plastic that is usually referred to as lexan and it doesn’t have this limitation.

Metal Signs

Metal signs for the most part will be referring to aluminum sheet metal or an aluminum composite material aka ACM. These days aluminum sheet metal is reserved for fabrication of channel letters and lightboxes. It doesn’t get much use on its own since the introduction of the much better ACM.

What is ACM?

ACM is a composite material comprised of two sheets of aluminum with a rigid plastic substrate between them. The plastic core adds strength, rigidity, and to the overall possible applications while maintaining the appeal of a metal sign. ACM comes in ⅛” and ¼” thicknesses and a variety of colors and specialized options like brushed silver and gold finishes as well as ferrous metal versions used for signs requiring a magnetic receptive element. ACM is very durable and can withstand years of outdoor conditions making it ideal for permanent business signs as well as signs that may be moved from site to site. It can be cnc routed into letters and custom cut signage, direct printed as well as having adhesive vinyl graphics applied to it. It can be used for indoor lobby signs and branded office decor as wall mounted routed letters or stand off signs. It has been used to clad existing structures like desks and custom displays as a way to add brand graphics or interior design appeal. The plastic core also allows for the material to be routed and folded to create custom structures such as boxes and custom displays. It can be drilled to have holes for standoffs which is an elegant way to mount any sign to a wall.

Fabrication Methods:

Foam Signs

There are many different types of foam but for a general idea we’ll discuss foam boards here. Foam boards are sheets of an expanded foam material sandwiched between either paper or polystyrene plastic sheets. We can refer to them as paper-faced and poly-faced foam boards. The difference being paper-faced is the more economical version and poly-faced is more durable. Typically white in color, thicknesses range from ¼” to 1” in ¼” increments. Foam board is a great product for an affordable short term outdoor display, or a more permanent indoor display. It’s most common use is as meter boards for events or directional signage because it can be direct printed on both sides and at ½” is rigid enough to stand eight feet tall with a minimalistic floor stand. It’s also versatile enough to be custom printed and CNC routed into shapes and layered to create dimensional displays. It’s extremely lightweight but the paper face is susceptible to water damage, where as the poly-face version is not. It’s also used to create large light-weight custom displays where the design requires walls or dimension.

Fabrication Methods:

Lighting:

When the subject of custom signs comes up, it is often that lighting is an ideal component. Lighting a sign really gives it life and demands more attention, as well as achieving perpetual visibility. The evolution of LED technology has really improved our options when adding a lighting element to a sign. LED stands for Light Emitting Diode and this technology has a lot of benefits:

Benefits of LED Lighting:

• Produce Minimal Heat
• Energy Efficient
• Many Colors and Intensities
• Long Lifespan

We can light mobile signs with battery packs or install LEDs that plug in for a more permanent installation. We can create backlit letters for the front of a sign, or a backlight the sign itself for a halo effect. We can create backlit boxes for displays or interior signage and even edge light a single piece of acrylic to light the graphics on the display. Lighting a sign is usually not a necessity, but it can be a very nice and practical addition.

This is not close to an exhaustive list of materials or processes but it is some of the most common elements involved in sign fabrication. Beyond materials and fabrication methods there are countless combinations of these used to produce one of a kind signs. The possibilities are endless. We hope this gave you some insight and helped clarify your sign ordering aspiration. If you have any questions or are ready to get your new sign made, give us a call or click the contact us button.

Vinyl or Fabric: What’s Best for Your Banner?

Table of Contents

• Comparison criteria
• Cost
• Appearance
• Durability
• Transporting
• Maintenance
• Summary

When it’s time to order a new visual solution and you’ve finally decided on a banner to send your message, you still have a few questions to finalize the order. Your size, your design, the stand or display option, and finally what material? This is a good question as it is important and will serve you and your investment the best if you get it right. There are two options, vinyl or fabric. However, there are a few sub-options of these that can cater to certain environments and uses, but those specifics are beyond the scope of what we will cover here.

Vinyl or Fabric?

Let’s look at the main differences and then we’ll go into detail about them..

The main differences of vinyl and fabric banners.

Cost

Cost is probably the highest criterium on most lists.

Appearance

Fabric or vinyl will have an impact on the overall appearance of the banner, mostly because surface textures andother material characteristics.

Durability

Where and when it will be used and how long it can be used in this way before it fails or looks bad.

Transport

When transporting a banner, by shipping, car, plane or train, it will be different depending on your banner.

Maintenance

This will matter the more you use your banner, if it’s just a single use banner then this will not apply to your situation.

Cost Factors

The cost of a banner relies on a few factors.

• Size
• Material
• Ink cost (Measured by image and background color ink densities)
• Finishing
• Lead times(the same banner will cost more if the order needs to be rushed, pushed ahead of other orders)

Size

The size of a banner is more of a multiplier to the rest of the other factors. It plays a role in determiningcost, but only after having set the other factors in the equation. A banner costs a certain amount of money to produce depending on the material used, the amount of ink needed to print the images, and the method of finishing whichalso takes time, labor and materials. Given these factors, the bigger the banner, the more it will cost.

Material

As we learned above material will play a part in the cost of the banner. This is simply because some materials cost more than others. Typically fabric will be more expensive across the board, because it is a more expensive material to make and use.

Ink

Ink is a very specialized and technical part of this equation and different types of printers use different types of ink. There are differences in ink down to molecular levels that determine its durability and longevity. Most high quality printers will use long lasting and durable inks and some companies will use the cheapest on the market to keep costs down. Heritage Signs & Displays only uses high quality inks on our products because we care about our reputation and the quality of our products over profit. The material used for the banner also plays a part in how much ink is used, because fabric material is a porous material it requires more ink to create the same image that would need less to be printed on vinyl material. Along with material, the image on the banner and the background color will determine how much ink will be used and again, how much it will cost. A banner that is mostly white will cost less than a banner that is mostly black, or some other dark color.

The banner with the darker background will require more ink and therefore cost more to produce.

Finishing

Finishing a banner means, what needs to be done to a banner after it is printed to fulfill the order and allow the banner to be easily displayed whether it be hanging on a building or put on a banner stand.

All banners can have grommets, pole pockets, Velcro or simply straight trimmed. The only difference here is that fabric banners require a special trimming method called a hot knife and the edges, whether it’s a hem, pole pocket or Velcro, will need to be sewn to maintain integrity and lasting quality. Where as a vinyl banner can be totally finished using a heat weld or adhesive tape welding methods.

Lead Times

This is applies to both fabric and vinyl. The less time between placing an order and needing to receive the order, the more your order will cost. Rush orders exist because we know sometimes things need to happen fast, but doing certain orders fast requires pushing other orders back and/or having staff go into overtime and extending working hours which all costs money. So the more time you allow for your production the cheaper your banner will be.

Appearance

“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”… maybe. I’d wager to say that a lot of people can agree on what looks good and what does not. However, there are situations where a vinyl banner will look better than a fabric banner and visa versa. I need to preface this with “given all other factors remain the same” because there are specialized materials that can work for many situations that basic vinyl and basic fabric will not perform as well in. But for the sake of argument we are comparing the basic elements of fabric and vinyl banner materials.

The main differences in appearance between fabric and vinyl are the surface texture and translucency. If your banner will be part of a photo opportunity you will want to make sure you get a matte finish whether it is vinyl or fabric. However fabric banners will have a much better appearance in photos because of their inherent surface texture. Matte banners work well for photography but they still have a smooth surface and when ink is applied it can still result in a shine or glare in flash photography where fabric just performs much better in these conditions.

Translucency is the materials ability to let light pass through it. This does not matter if your banner is facing the strongest light source or if you are indoors with plenty of ambient light. However, if your banner is facing away from a strong light source and the light source is facing the back of the banner, this light will pass through a fabric banner much easier than a vinyl banner. Light passing through the back of a banner will cause the imageson the face of a banner to look washed out or cause inconsistencies across the banner in photos or real time appearance. This is somewhat negated by the saturation of the ink with fabric prints, but as a general concern some images can be washed out from backlighting, there is a specific material and process used for backlit fabric prints that isn’t used for banners unless specified.

If lighting isn’t an issue then the only note here is that fabric banners can appear more elegant simply because they are fabric and not plastic vinyl. If you’re shopping for a multiple use banner and will be transporting it, the appearance of the banner will heavily depend on the care of the shipping and handling its involved in and a fabric banner is much easier to manage in that regard.

Durability

Vinyl banners are more durable IF it will be used outdoors AND you roll it up correctly when stored or transporting it.

Fabric banners are more durable IF you plan on using it over and over again in short term events indoors AND it is properly cared for when transporting.

Transporting

This is a pretty big factor in many cases, as traveling is a big part of marketing and promotion and you want transporting your banner as easy as possible.

Fabric banners are by far the easier method to travel with because they have the unique ability to be folded without damage where vinyl banners will crease and sometimes crack after some time. A fabric banner can be folded and typically included in the frame or stand it accompanies while a vinyl banner can only be rolled and the size is limited to the shortest dimension of the banner. If the banner is a 8’ by 6’ banner then the shipping container will be a 6’ long box.

You can see here that the fabric banner collapses to a much smaller size.

Maintenance

Maintaining either banner is pretty simple given normal use conditions. Vinyl banners can be rolled onto a core and stored indoors for ages without any noticeable effects. Fabric banners can be folded and stored indoors with the same expectations. However, a vinyl banner has an advantage here because if it were to get dirty, have something spilled on it, or dropped in the dirt it can easily be cleaned by a wet cloth. Whereas a fabric banner is susceptible to stains and dirt and will need to be dry cleaned to have it return to its former glory.

Summary

Fabric Banner If:

• Indoor event with photography
• Multiple location involving traveling
• Appearance over Budget
• Away from dirt and liquids

Vinyl Banner If:

• Outdoor events
• Long Term outdoor use
• Single Use Event
• Budget over Appearance
• Not traveling with it or don’t mind shipping.

Again, these are comparing base materials and no specialized materials. There are many varieties of both fabric and vinyl banners engineered to support many different circumstances. If you need a specific type of banner, or any banner at all, Heritage Signs & Displays is a leading provider of high quality banners and banner stands with quick turn around and shipping times. We have experienced designers and project coordinators on staff ready to help you accomplish your project on time and on budget.

Colorway Agency Client Spotlight

Table of Contents

• The Components of Engaging Retail Signage
• The Results of the Rebranded Storefront
• Heritage Signs & Displays Produces Award-Winning Signage for Businesses in Washington, DC

Heritage Signs & Displays recently collaborated with the Colorway Agency to transform the retail storefront of the atmos outlet in Washington, DC with new storefront graphics and custom point of purchase displays.

The Colorway Agency is a Brooklyn-based full-service marketing agency that specializes in serving clients in the sports, fashion, sneaker, and creative industries. The Colorway Agency services clients in the New York area as well as the eastern seaboard. One of their clients was atmos, a prestige clothing and lifestyle brand that had set up a new retail store in the historic Georgetown Neighborhood of Washington, DC.

Matt Fried from the Colorway Agency reached out to the team at Heritage Signs & Displays with the request to brand the new atmos storefront with graphics and a custom point of purchase display to help distinguish the retail space from other storefronts in the area. Given that the signage specialist at Heritage have had decades of experience with branding storefronts, fabricating custom displays, and working directly with both clothing and sporting good outlets, we were more than happy to bring the atmos retail outlet come to life.

The Components of Engaging Retail Signage

Matt Fried chose Heritage Signs & Displays specifically because the Colorway Agency wanted a reliable vendor to print and install new signage for the DC atmos storefront. Specifically, the new point of purchase displays included temporary adhesive vinyl wraps and window decals. The designs of these interior graphics were modeled after various animal patterns such as leopard spots, zebra stripes, and tiger stripes. Two Heritage installers arrived in the afternoon to begin the installation process. Spot On temporary adhesive vinyl was used for the interior and exterior windows, while the previous interior wall wraps were removed safely from the main display area. The store’s pillars were also wrapped with the same zebra stripe patterned vinyl. The Heritage installers matched the proofs to the final installed graphics and confirmed the details with the client while on-site to ensure accuracy and efficiency.

The Results of the Rebranded Storefront

Once the new storefront graphics, window graphics, point of purchase displays, and custom displays had been installed in the atmos storefront, the new clothing outlet was ready to attract DC area pedestrians to the dynamic retail space. Matt Fried from the Colorway Agency was thrilled with how the interior space had been transformed, saying “The installers were absolutely amazing and all the printing couldn’t have been better.” The Colorway Agency is planning to market more sports and clothing establishments in the Washington, DC and Mid-Atlantic regions soon and said that they would be eager to work with the Heritage team again for future projects.
