Vinyl Letter and Graphic Faces
for Channel Letters
Vinyl
letters manufactured by Signs Manufacturing™ for channel
letters and channel-cans, also called contour channels, are precision cut by a
computer-controlled programmable cutter from a 3M product
which is guaranteed by 3M not to fade, chip, or peel for
five years.
And, we overcoat your graphics with SolarGuard™ protection so that they will last much, much longer.
We use 3M's translucent vinyl whenever possible. Even though it is more expensive, the better appearance and added advertising value of having the lettering and graphics light in color is well worth the price.
There is no finer quality vinyl available. There are many lower-cost, lesser quality vinyl, and opaque vinyl, but Signs Manufacturing™ will not use them. Nothing looks worse than a sign with its lettering peeling off.
Fifty-seven "factory" vinyl colors are available. Additionally, Signs Manufacturing™ has the ability to custom color vinyl translucently in 32,807 colors using Signlux™ Translucent paints and our intermix system.

Protection Against Vandalism
The unique clear coats Signs Manufacturing™ applies over vinyl lettering and graphics are also formulated to remove one remaining objection knowledgeable consumers have to the use of vinyl on sign faces.
We have all seen signs where vandals have peeled-off lettering to make the sign imply something else, or simply to deface them.
When your sign is vandalized it must be replaced so that it effectively represents your business; even if the sign is simply a listing of “Pool Rules."
While it is probably “technically" possible to remove lettering and deface a sign we manufactured with SolarGuard™ and Lumabrite™ protection we are not aware of anyone, ever, having done so.

(This product does not come from the traditional sign industry. Few sign companies know about it, or where to get it.)

SolarGuard™ protection is not used to protect vinyl lettering and the trimcap.
