Your business’s sign helps create a strong first impression for customers, while also serving the practical purpose of letting people know where you are. The right signage sends a clear message about your business, and that starts with choosing the best materials. From classic wood to contemporary acrylic styles, you have plenty of options to choose from. 

How to Choose the Best Sign Material

1. Vinyl

Vinyl signs are ideal for short term outdoor use or long-term indoor use. Vinyl banner material is durable and designed to withstand the elements, while offering the advantage of complete customization.

You can choose the exact size you want and have multicolored graphics and lettering printed directly on the surface. Ideal for special events, promotions, and trade shows, vinyl is lightweight and easy to install and store.

2. Wood

Wood signs are classic, durable, and surprisingly versatile. Wood can be cut into an infinite number of shapes and designs and painted or carved for a custom design that reflects your business.

Wood signs can be attached to posts in the ground or bolted to walls and will last for years with proper care and maintenance. Most will only need occasional sealing to prevent warping and damage from the elements. 

3. Plastic

The most common type used is corrugated plastic, also known as Coroplast® signs. These are most often used for temporary outdoor signage; for example, they may be used to promote an event or provide directions for attendees or as lawn signs for a business or political candidate.

The signs can be printed with almost any colors and graphics and cut into custom sizes and shapes and hung or staked into the ground. Relatively inexpensive, they are waterproof and durable for short-term outdoor use.
