Corporate Quality: 6 Reasons Why Business Owners Choose Acrylic

Black acrylic sign with metalic vinyl

Acrylic, also known as Plexiglass, is one of the most popular sign materials for corporate offices. From upscale law offices, advertising firms, and high-end boutiques to swanky restaurants and hotels, acrylic has become the "go-to" sign material for CEOs and business owners alike.

Here are 6 reasons why corporate leaders and business owners consistently choose acrylic:

  1. Acrylic looks remarkably professional – This shiny plastic offers a super-sleek, classy, professional look that CEOs and business owners appreciate. The high gloss exterior behind a well-designed logo gives off an air of elegance and class. And whether the acrylic is a pigment-rich, brilliant color, such as black or red, or the more popular clear or frosted, acrylic signs command a lot of attention. This sign material can create a lasting impression in the mind of the most refined client.
  2. Acrylic is relatively inexpensive for the high-quality appearance – Signs made of acrylic may look incredibly expensive, but they are actually quite affordable. The material has a lot of attractive qualities, but it is still a high-quality plastic that won't break the bank. So, compared to wooden signs and signs made of composite materials, which can both be costly, acrylic is an affordable material choice. You get the look of sophistication without the lofty price.
  3. Specialty finishes on acrylic are extremely attractive – If the sleek, shiny surface isn't enough, specialty finishes are also available. For an exceptionally attractive sign, you can add a metal finished backer to the clear acrylic – showcasing a brushed or mirror finished silver or gold through the clear surface. You could even reverse print gold or silver vinyl lettering and apply it to the back of the clear acrylic for a distinguished effect. The surface still appears and feels smooth, but the stylish lettering can be clearly seen through it.
  4. Acrylic can be accented for a "corporate look" – Acrylic signs are often mounted with polished or brushed silver or gold hardware called standoffs, which give custom signs a very distinguished, corporate look. Used to make the signs literally "stand off" from the wall, this hardware adds both dimension and flair to corporate signs. Screw caps, which also come in both gold and silver, don't add dimension, but they do add style by giving the acrylic sign a more polished look. Using gold and silver hardware to mount your acrylic signs can speak volumes – it gives your business a refined and impressive appearance to your clients and shows that you value quality and professionalism.
  5. Acrylic is incredibly versatile – Acrylic comes in 8 by 20 foot single, seamless sheets, but it can be custom cut to virtually any size and any shape – including contour cut logos. Also, the edges of acrylic signs can be flame polished by applying heat to the plastic edges for just a few seconds. This makes the edges of the acrylic sign shiny and smooth like the surface. Beveling the edges adds a dimensional effect and gives the sign a very formidable look. For even more versatility, add custom lighting around an acrylic sign. So much can be done with this high-quality material.
  6. Acrylic is perfect for indoor signage – Acrylic is tolerant to weather extremes, but we don't recommend it for outdoor use, mainly because it's not shatter-proof. The shiny, classy material is perfect for corporate indoor signage, however. Wipe down your acrylic sign lukewarm water and a nonabrasive, micro-fiber cloth occasionally and it will last indefinitely indoors. Acrylic signs mounted inside serve a dual-purpose – they increase brand awareness and confirm your high quality in the minds of your clients!

When it comes to corporate quality signage, acrylic stands alone. It has all the qualities that shine in a corporate setting – it's attractive, affordable, high-quality and easy to maintain. For signs that will impress your clients, choose acrylic – it won’t disappoint.
