Upgrade Your Lighted Sign…With Replacement Sign Faces From TheSignChef.com!
Does your business have a need for a different outdoor lighted sign than what you currently use?
Perhaps your company is changing its identity.
Or maybe your sign needs updated information.
Regardless of the reason, one thing is likely true…you don't want to replace the entire sign.
And that's where we come in.
The SignChef makes custom replacement sign faces that you can insert into your current cabinet.
Talk about a face lift!
So where do I begin?
TheSignChef has all the recipes needed to whip up a Replacement Sign Face that meets your company's needs.
Let's get started by choosing the main ingredient for your custom sign.
Since lighted signage is often found outdoors, it is important that the material you choose is durable.
It must outlast wind, rain, or anything Mother Nature (or anyone in this big bad world) may throw at it.
To help you better understand their differences in durability, we like to classify them in terms of "Good, Better, and Best."
- Good - Acrylic and Plexiglas
- Better - High Impact Acrysteel and Acrylite SG
- Best - And Super Impact Lexan, Lexan SG and Polycarbonate
The Acrylic and Plexiglas Plastic Family is a popular plastic choice for outdoor illuminated signage. Signs made from this material are cut to order from 4' x 8' sheets to fit your unique, individual needs. This material is also available in oversize sheets on special order.
Acrylic and Plexiglas plastic sheeting can crack or break under stress though. So if you need a high impact plastic sign material, or a sign larger than 4' x 8', we highly recommend plastic from the following groups:
The Acrysteel Plastic Family has 10 times the impact strength as standard Acrylic or Plexiglas Plastic. With enhanced break resistance, Acrysteel and Acrylite SG are among the most popular materials used for replacement sign faces.
The Lexan Plastic Family is an uncommonly strong sign material that has 50 times (yes, 50!) the impact strength as standard Acrylic or Plexiglas Plastic. Lexan is so tough, it's even used as bullet proof glass!
*Acrysteel and Lexan Plastic sign materials are commonly used for larger signs, especially outdoor lighted signs. In "high risk" applications where breakage is more likely to occur, we recommend Lexan over any other plastic sign material.

Plastic sign faces come three different ways:
- Completely Flat. The standard thickness of a plastic replacement sign face is 3/16". A completely flat sign, as you can imagine, remains this thickness throughout the surface, with no raised elements to the design. This style is the lowest price of the three.
- Pan Molded. You can order your sign lightly seasoned by selecting a Pan Molded Replacement Face. This style describes a sign surface that extends out beyond its lighted cabinet. Some people say this style looks like the face is "bubbled out."
- Pan and Embossed. This type of sign is similar to the Pan Molded style, as its face "bubbles out." But Pan and Embossed takes you a step further by spicing up your with raised letters or graphics.
- Severe storms
- High winds
- And locations prone to vandalism like rock or bottle damage
