— About Gogi Signs
Every other panel in our range is something you print. PVC is something you print and cut — and on most PVC jobs the cutting is what the customer actually notices. A letter routed with a crisp square edge looks machined. The same letter cut badly looks homemade, and no amount of print quality rescues it.
That is why we do not send PVC out. It is printed on our flatbed press and routed on our own CNC, in the same building, by people who see both halves of the job. A panel that starts flat can gain cut letters on top the same week rather than becoming a second purchase order and a two-week wait.
Gogi Signs has been making signage for New Jersey businesses since 2005 — offices, restaurants, medical practices, schools and the general contractors fitting them out. More of that work leaves here on PVC than on any other panel.
— Applications
Most PVC orders are not one sign. They are a set — a floor, a department, a building — and the panels have to look like they were made together, because they were.
Building directories, floor and department markers, directional panels and room numbering. We produce a whole scheme as one matched set so a building reads consistently rather than looking assembled over five years. See directory signage.
Restaurant menus, counter boards, service lists and price panels. The matte face does not glare under downlights, and it wipes clean — which a paper-faced board never survives.
Door signs, suite plates, department markers and conference room panels. Pairs with name plates and ADA signage where code applies.
Individual letters, logo profiles and layered panels routed from sheet. This is the job PVC does better than any other flat panel we print. See plastic letters.
Window signage, shelf and aisle panels, seasonal promotions and counter displays. Sturdy enough to go up and come down each quarter without curling at the corners.
Under canopies, soffits, covered walkways, parking structures and vestibules. PVC handles shade and damp comfortably — it is direct unshaded sun on a big panel that we would move you off it for.
— The basics
PVC sign board is expanded PVC, a rigid and lightweight plastic sheet with a smooth, matte finish. Made from solid plastic throughout, it is moisture-resistant, rot-proof, rust-free, and resistant to delamination, making it suitable for indoor signs and covered outdoor displays. Its even surface produces sharp, consistent printing, while the sheet can be routed, engraved, or cut into clean edges, shapes, and lettering.
PVC sign board may be sold under brand names such as Sintra, Komatex, and Celtec. These names refer to brands of expanded PVC rather than different sign board materials. PVC sign board is often confused with traditional foam board, but the two materials have different constructions. Foam board typically has a polystyrene core with paper or coated faces, so it is lighter and less expensive but more vulnerable to moisture, dents, and long-term wear. For durable signage that needs to outperform temporary foam board, PVC sign board is usually the more reliable choice.
— Why order from us
Most suppliers who sell PVC signs only print them. That is fine until the job needs a letter, a shape or a second panel raised off the first — and then it goes out to somebody else, at their price and their timescale.
Laser and CNC sit alongside the press here, so cut letters, logo shapes and layered builds are part of the same job rather than a separate order.
Directory, floor markers, room signs and door plates produced together and finished together, so the whole scheme arrives on one date.
Spacing and alignment are most of the job on wayfinding and cut letters. Our installers do it with a template rather than by eye. See graphics installation.
Where a building or property manager requires a COI before we can work on site, we process it as part of the job.
No print-ready file is not a problem. Our design team sets it up and you approve a proof at actual size before we cut anything.
Large panels in full unshaded sun belong on Dibond. We will split the scheme rather than sell you the wrong material for the exterior half.
— Printing
PVC board printing and routing are handled in-house, so the panel and any letters or cut pieces can be made from the same sheet. That keeps the colour and finish consistent across the finished sign.
— Specifications
We cut every panel to order on our own laser and CNC rather than selling you a fixed size list.
— Installation
Hardware ships with the order, and cut-letter jobs come with a spacing template so the wall gets marked once.
— Comparison
PVC covers more ground than anything else we print. It is also the panel people most often specify one step too far.
| Material | Environment | Typical Life | Best For | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dibond | Full exterior | Years in weather | Storefronts, building ID, monument faces | $$$ |
| PVC / Sintra | Indoor / covered | Several years | Directories, menu boards, cut letters | $$ |
| Coroplast | Outdoor | Weeks to a season | Yard signs, job sites, campaigns | $ |
| Foam board | Indoor only | Event to months | Presentations, trade shows, retail POP | $ |
| Acrylic | Indoor / covered | Years indoors | Reception walls, door plates, plaques | $$$ |
Cost compares the range at the same size and quantity. See all rigid signs.
Nothing else in the range cuts into letters this cleanly at this price. Acrylic looks more premium but costs more and cannot be routed as freely; foam board is cheaper but will not last a year on a wall. For interior signage that has to look finished and stay up, PVC is usually the answer.
Large panels in full unshaded sun. PVC expands with heat, and a big unsupported sheet can bow over a summer. For permanent exterior work we specify Dibond, and for anything staked in the ground coroplast.
— Ordering
1
Sizes, quantity, whether you need flat panels or cut letters, and where they are going. Artwork in AI, EPS, PDF or SVG. No artwork is not a problem for us.
2
We come back the same working day with a price and a production date, including hardware and installation. If PVC is wrong for the location, we tell you before you commit.
3
A proof at actual size showing the cut line, letter spacing and mounting positions. Nothing is printed or routed until you sign it off.
4
Pick up from Linden, delivered across the tri-state area, or fitted by our crews with a template — which is what we would recommend on any cut-letter set.
— FAQs
PVC signs are printed on expanded PVC — a closed-cell plastic sheet that is rigid, light and has a smooth matte face. The finish reads as a painted panel rather than a printed board, which is why PVC plastic signs are the standard for interior directories, menu boards, office identification and wayfinding sets.
Yes. Sintra is a brand name for expanded PVC, made by 3A Composites — the same way Coroplast is a brand name for corrugated plastic. Komatex and Celtec are other brands of the same sheet. Order custom Sintra signs or PVC signs from us and you get the same panel.
No. PVC sign board is solid plastic throughout and lasts years indoors or under cover. Foam board is a polystyrene core with paper faces — much lighter, much cheaper, and ruined once it gets wet. The confusion comes from expanded PVC sometimes being sold as "PVC foam board".
Under cover, yes — entryways, canopies, soffits, covered walkways and parking structures. In full unshaded sun and weather a large panel can bow over time, so for permanent exterior signage we would specify Dibond instead.
We stock 3mm through 19mm. 3mm suits flat printed panels and lightweight wall signage. 6mm is the everyday choice for directories, menu boards and room identification. 10mm and above are for cut letters, layered builds and anything where the visible edge is part of the design.
Yes, and it is what PVC does better than any other flat panel we print. It routs with a crisp square edge, so individual letters, logo shapes, layered panels and internal cut-outs all come off our CNC. Letters and their backer can be cut from the same sheet so colour and finish match exactly. See plastic letters.
Several years indoors or under cover. PVC does not absorb water, rot or delaminate, and it holds its shape. Outdoors the limit is UV and heat on large unshaded panels rather than the material itself failing.
Thin panels go up with VHB tape, silicone or direct screw fixing. Thicker panels and cut letters use standoff barrels, stud mounting with spacers, or a spacing template for letter-by-letter installation. We supply the hardware and the template with every order.
No. We produce a single room sign and a full building wayfinding set on the same equipment. Your price per sign falls as the quantity increases, and matched sets price better than the same panels ordered one at a time.
Yes. We produce in Linden, Union County, and deliver across New Jersey and the wider tri-state area including New York City. Our own crews handle installation — which matters on wayfinding sets and cut letters, where spacing and alignment are the whole job.
— Service area & quotes
We print and rout every panel in Linden, Union County, and deliver or install across the tri-state area.
PVC and Sintra signage goes out to office fit-outs, restaurants, medical practices, schools and retail units across the state. Whole wayfinding schemes are produced together and installed by our crews, so a building gets one consistent set on one date rather than a panel at a time.
Looking for PVC signs near me is usually how this starts — and being twenty minutes away means we can come and measure before quoting rather than working from your sketch.
