House Signs made from Acrylic (Printed)
Printed Acrylic house signs made from plastic are very affordable, lightweight and flexible, allowing the customer to purchase a straight forward sign that will efficiently and quickly attach to any surface.
Printed plastic signs are formed from a type of plastic called Forex, which can be used indoors and outdoors; however, the signs generally last longer when placed indoors.
Customers that wish to use plastic printed signs outdoors will need to keep replacing them often unless you purchase engraved plastic signs for more sustainable use.
These types of signs are lightweight, which allows them to be placed easily anywhere in the building and depending on the style of sign you chose, some come with an adhesive backing meaning no nails. Plastic printed signs are popular with businesses showing directions to certain areas. They also make the ideal sign for boat interiors, shop interiors, fairs and leisure centres.
The most common printed sign that you can purchase in local shops are differently shaped or sized worded signs or images where you could add to your own background material such as glass, acrylic or even wood. This would allow yourself to create a unique sign which would be very affordable or by spending the extra money, online companies would be happy to create a personalised, printed sign with wording, lettering and logos.
