Acrylic signs are made from a glossy finished plastic sheet known by the trademark, Plexiglass. When you are looking for a modern, hi-tech yet sophisticated appearance, acrylic with its wide variety of color options is a frequent choice for attention grabbing purchase, architectural and illuminated signs.

Ideas
You can enhance the visibility of your acrylic signs in the following ways:
- Using non-glare acrylic to reduce glare problems
- Using multiple layers of acrylic to enhance the image
- Using bent easels
- Incorporating a logo or graphic symbol
- Designing custom applications
- Creating a three-dimensional effect—giving the perception of depth to the finished product—using clear acrylic and applying a background color to the reverse side
- Applying multiple lettering colors
- Adding stripes and borders
Installation Methods
- Using Velcro®
- Using double-sided tape
- Self-supporting (bent easel)
- Hanging
- Gluing
- Applying suction cups
Maintenance
- Use acrylic signs for long-term indoor use or for short-term outdoor use in areas protected by overhangs or awnings. (This does not apply to acrylic used in light box signs)
- Handle acrylic signs with care because acrylic scratches easily and can shatter or chip upon impact
- Do not leave acrylic in direct sun or in a hot car; it may bow or bend if not laying flat
