Great for those who their print to have a bold and industrial vibe.

Changing of posters is made easy as prints can be switched out easily from the pockets.
Installation of Acrylic Signs
The acrylic signs are mounted to the wall using chrome spacers. Wall plugs will be use to secure the acrylic signage on concrete wall or partition walls and drywalls.
You may require installation for these acrylic signs onto your wall. Please note that installation by us will come at an additional fee.
Why Acrylic Signage?
Acrylic signs stand out as a preferred choice thanks to the material’s versatility, durability, and cost-effectiveness. Being available in lots of formats and sizes allows for total control and customisation!
1) High Resolution and Clarity
Acrylic is optically superior, naturally without tinting commonly seen in glass. This optical purity makes it a great option for displaying and protecting prints and artwork. The glass-like quality of acrylic looks clean and sophisticated when used as a background for simple text or graphics, such as a company logo. It also provides your print and images with radiant and vivid colours that will surely grab the attention of your customers or guests.
2) Durable and Long-lasting
The tough plastic material is not as fragile like glass and it is resistant against all kinds of weather, making it useful for indoor or outdoor signage. They also act as a protection against moisture and UV light, prolonging your prints for many years to come!
3) Lightweight and Portable
Although acrylic is a tough material, it is significantly lighter in weight than glass, making transportation and installation easier. It also lowers the risk of dropping and breaking. These qualities allow acrylic to last longer than other signage materials, which is an important factor for businesses to consider when investing in advertising displays and signage.
4) Customisable
Acrylic has the ability to be cut into any shape or size, making it easy for manufacturers to customize a sign to the needs of the client. In addition to the flexibility of the material, acrylic signs can have any design printed or affixed to it, allowing you to create an appearance that works best for your business.

How to care for your Acrylic Signage?
Maintaining and cleaning acrylic signs is very simple, although there is one rule: Never use abrasive liquids (like isopropyl alcohol) or ammonia-based detergents to clean acrylic signs. The best way to clean acrylic signs is to use a micro-fiber cloth and a mild detergent mixed with water.
Applications of Acrylic Signs
Acrylic signage works for any kind of business. Hotels, retail stores, and restaurants are common examples of where you might see acrylic signs. Acrylic can be used to form a variety of useful and creative products, for example:
