Plastic Sign Faces

Signs Manufacturing manufactures its own plastic components using 3/16” Cyro Acrylite® impact-modified acrylic sheet, G. E. Lexan®, and full 1" Jewelite® trim-cap, the best plastics available in the industry.

Cyro Acrylite® impact-modified acrylic sheet has a 8,900 psi tensile strength, high impact strength (0.63#/" of notch), a 90% light-transmission ratio, and only a 1.49 refractive index (Glass is 1.5.)  In other words, it is stronger, brighter, and clearer than the standard acrylic (unchanged since about 1940) used by most sign companies because of its lower cost.

CYRO COLOR CHIPSOur signs are guaranteed by the manufacturers of the plastic we use not to fade or "yellow" for 5 years, unlike generic "polycarbonate" which begins yellowing almost immediately.

Twelve "factory" colors, and 32,807 translucently painted colors are available.

G. E. Lexan® is further warranted not to break for three to ten years (dependent on thickness and solar protection).

Multiple plastic components (sign faces and hanging-bars as an example) are chemically welded together for structural integrity.

Trim-cap (the plastic trim that holds the plastic letter face to the sides of the letter) is patterned by computer driven machinery we conceived so that it EXACTLY fits the letter face.  Hydraulic formers bend the trim-cap so that it is precisely plumb, and most importantly the strength of the hydraulic former works without having to cut notches in the trim-cap to weaken it for bending by hand, the accepted practice until now. 

TRIM-CAP COLOR SAMPLESSigns Manufacturing is the first company in THE WORLD to automate trim-cap forming!

Jewelite® trim-cap is a continuous metal strip inside a plastic covering, making the product much more durable than all-plastic imitators, some of which are only ¾”.

Nineteen "factory" colors and 32,807 painted colors are available.

The advantage to our customer is a better made AND a better looking product, lasting longer and requiring less service.

The letter faces are screwed to the metal letter bases to insure that they do not blow off in high winds.

Sign faces that don’t fade or “yellow” for 5 years is a step in the right direction, but your sign needs to look nearly as good 10 to 15 years from now as it looks the day it is installed; or you need to plan to replace it often so that your potential customers do not get the wrong impression of your business.Danbury, Conneticut

The longevity and appearance of plastic face materials and graphics are extended when they are coated with SolarGuard™, a special, clear, high-gloss, mar-resistant topcoat which protects plastics from ultraviolet light and ozone so that they last longer, just like your eyeglasses have UV coatings to protect the plastic lens.

Signs Manufacturing is an authorized SolarGuard™ applicator.

Signs Manufacturing adds SolarGuard™ protection to every plastic-faced sign.

SOLARGUARD 7 YEAR TESTDoes SolarGuard™ Protection Work?  The face on the left was made of “generic” red acrylic and black trim-cap.  The left half was coated with SolarGuard™ and the face was left outside for ONLY 7 years; your sign will be out there much longer!

How will your business be affected if your sign looks like the sign on the right in a few years?

Just as coated lenses in binoculars increase the light gathering ability of the lens, the special Lumabrite™ coatings we use increase the brightness of our channel letters.

Also, Lumabrite™ reduces maintenance because of built-in self-cleaning properties.

As an added bonus Lumabrite™ also makes the letter faces more reflective when the sign is not lighted!

FADED CHANNEL LETTER FACESYou won’t have dull, dingy plastic faces like those on the right if we manufacture your sign.

Signs Manufacturing adds Lumabrite™ coatings to every plastic-faced sign.  No other local sign company does this.

Our people are factory-trained in the application of Lumabrite™.

We can even make your sign faces one color during the day (black, red, green, blue and more) and another at night (white, red, yellow, blue, green and more)!
