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

Let's make this simple.

We'll take a look at the 3 kinds of plastic} signs we offer:
* Acrylic signs
* PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
* Coroplast

But first, you need think about the factors that are most important when deciding on the best 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 use?

Keep these factors in mind as you learn about features of the different materials.

Acrylic signs

Acrylic signs are great 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 look extremely professional.

A few more facts:
* Acrylic is the only sign material that can be clear. A clear sign is very popular since it looks contemporary and upscale.
* Acrylic signs have a rich, high gloss finish
* They are waterproof and can endure extreme temperatures
* You can only print on one side of an acrylic sign
* Acrylic signs are exceptionally durable
* Like most plastic signage, acrylic is quite 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 also offer pre—drilled 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 strong, corrugated plastic, can be used both indoors and outdoors. While they can last decades inside, they are best used for short—term purposes when outdoors. They're perfect for one—day events such as sales, yard signs and other temporary uses. And their hollow, fluted design makes them particularly 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
