Some Materials We Use

Metals

1/4"-thick Aluminum has been one of the staples of the sign industry for many years.  Of course, we cut other thicknesses as well, from .020" up to 1/2".

Brass, Bronze and Copper are also popular metals for interior and exterior signs.

Plastics

There are many types of plastics available.  Each has its own properties which which need to be considered in choosing the correct material for any particular application.

Two of our favorites are Duro-Tek and Strato-Tek.  Click this link to learn why we like them so much.

One of the most popular plastics in use by the sign industry is PVC, which is available in  Expanded PVC or Solid PVC.

Acrylics probably have the longest history with the sign industry.
