Traditionally, nameplates and signage are very similar. Both indicate the direction to a target. The Signage sector owes its name to it. After all, sign means nothing more than sign or signs. Advertising is a profession in its own right and that also applies to signage. A signpost never stands alone, but is always based on a plan. Placing signage in a building or on a site requires knowledge of how people move, orient themselves and receive information. The choice of materials plays an important role in this.
About Acrylic for nameplates and signage
Acrylate is also a wonderful solution for name plates and road signs. Whether clear or in one of our [150] colours, the possibilities are almost endless. Acrylic can also be machined in many different ways and the sheet material can be shaped as desired. The many versions and the absolute weather resistance ensure that acrylic can be used in many different ways. Acrylate also offers the solution for visibility in dark rooms or at night. Due to the high light transmission of the material, acrylic is beautifully visible at all times.

About LED for nameplates and signage
LED lighting is increasingly used in road signs in traffic, public transport and public buildings. After a test period, it turned out that LED lighting is 33 percent more efficient than current fluorescent tubes. The guaranteed life is at least five years with full continuous burning and will last up to ten years when switched off during daylight. The purchase costs are almost always lower than those of the traditionally used fluorescent tubes.
The application of LED lighting in road signage has now more than proven itself and is also increasingly used in car parks garages and public transport.
About PVC foam for nameplates and signage
For short and medium term indoor and outdoor applications (two to three years), PVC foam is an excellent choice. These lightweight PVC foam sheets are optimised for digital print, because the surface is smooth and flat, but also high white. In combination with optimal ink adhesion and color fastness, beautiful prints can be achieved.
