Vinyl Letters and Graphics on Monument Signs
Vinyl
letters manufactured by Signs Manufacturing™ for Monument
signs 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.

Colors may vary slightly because of the computer or printer used.
NOTE: Custom Paint, Plastic,
Vinyl, or Printed Graphics Colors
Our customers can furnish us with paint or PMS
numbers, or the brand and name of paint (example: PMS 183 or Sherwin-Williams
Ruby Red, and we will obtain a mixing formula free of charge. Our customer can
also select exact colors from our 35,000+ color samples at no additional
charge. Alternatively, our customer can provide an actual sample, 3” square
minimum, of their color selections and we will run them through an exact color
matching process. Exact color matching from a color sample incurs an additional
charge, however.
