KNOW YOUR SIGN

CRESTVIEW — Some Signs Galore Express customers are unsure of what sort of signage they really want.

Here’s a quick primer:

Banner: A flexible, often temporary form of media, usually produced on a vinyl, heavy paper or cloth background. Easily rolled up.

Sign: A graphic produced on a rigid material, called “substrate” in the industry. Can be plastic, acrylic, wood, metal or other material. Generally used for durable, long-lasting uses.

Yard sign: Also called stake signs; made of corrugated plastic called Coroplast. Used for political campaigns, temporary event signs and temporary directional signs. Mounted on metal “step stakes” or “H-stakes.”

Window graphics: Generally vinyl lettering or illustration applied to a building or vehicle window.

Ready-to-apply graphics: Vinyl self-applied “stickers” composed of individual router-cut lettering or graphics, or complete artwork on a continuous strip of vinyl background material.
