There are many different types of materials used in rigid sign construction, and each offers varying benefits and challenges in terms of durability, cost, and printing options. Some of the rigid signs we fabricate include:
Sintra Signs – Also known as PVC board signs, these are made of plastic sheets that are both flexible and firm.
Foam Board Signs – Foam board signs have a plastic foam core with paper, wood veneer, or hard plastic surrounding it.
Coroplast Signs – Often used for yard signs, these have a corrugated plastic center and are especially lightweight.
Dibond Signs – These signs have a very durable aluminum exterior and a solid polyethylene core.
Acrylic Signs – A type of plastic, acrylic is a smooth material that resembles glass but is more durable and will not shatter.
Rigid signs are flexible and are more pliable the larger they are, but it is difficult to snap them or break them. Different materials also offer more stability than others, such as aluminum or wood exterior panels offering the most rigidity. The exterior material will also determine if the sign can be used outdoors. Coroplast and Dibond signs are durable enough to withstand the elements.
