Signs Manufacturing^™ manufactures its own pole or pylon sign plastic components using 3/16” Cyro Acrylite^® impact-modified acrylic sheet, SABIC (formally G.E.) Lexan^®, TUFFAK^® by Plaskolite, and full 1" Jewelite^® trim-cap, the best plastics available in the industry.

Cyro Acrylite^® impact-modified acrylic sheet has a 8,900 psi tensile strength, high impact strength (0.63#/" of notch), a 90% light-transmission ratio, and only a 1.49 refractive index (Glass is 1.5.)  In other words, it is stronger, brighter, and clearer than the standard acrylic (unchanged since about 1940) used by most sign companies because of its lower cost.

Our signs are guaranteed by the manufacturers of the plastic we use not to fade or "yellow" for 5 years, unlike generic "polycarbonate" which begins yellowing almost immediately.

Twenty-three "factory" colors, and 32,807 translucently painted colors are available.  Factory colors are:  015 White, 048 White, Ivory, 202 Red, 205 Red, 207 Red, 209 Red, 211 Red, 218 Red, 278 Red, 406 Yellow, 407 Yelllow, 424 Yellow, Rust, Orange, Brown, 507 Green, 5127 Green, 605 Blue, 606 Blue, 607 Blue, 613 Blue, and 693 Blue.

SABIC (formally G.E.) Lexan^® and TUFFAK^® by Plaskolite are further warranted not to break for three to ten years (dependent on thickness and solar protection).

Eleven "factory" colors, and 32,807 translucently painted colors are available.  Factory colors are:  White, Ivory, 2283 Red, 2157 Red, Orange, Yellow, 2050 Blue, 2114 Blue, Brown, and Green.

A set of facts little-understood by many sign companies:

1. Acrylic has a UV protected and a non-protected side.  It is amazing how many signs are made with the non-protected side exposed.  We even protect the protected side with SolarGuard^™ (see below.)
2. Acrylics and polycarbonates are not totally uniform.  They vary in color and translucency batch-to-batch.  We make our multi-sheet signs with sheets from the same batch.

The advantage to our customer is a better made AND a better looking product, lasting longer and requiring less service.

Sign faces that don’t fade or “yellow” for 5 years is a step in the right direction, but your sign needs to look nearly as good 10 to 15 years from now as it looks the day it is installed; or you need to plan to replace it often so that your potential customers do not get the wrong impression of your business.

The longevity and appearance of plastic face materials and graphics are extended when they are coated with SolarGuard^™, a special, clear, high-gloss, mar-resistant topcoat which protects plastics from ultraviolet light and ozone so that they last longer, just like your eyeglasses have UV coatings to protect the plastic lens.

Signs Manufacturing^™ is an authorized SolarGuard^™ applicator.

Signs Manufacturing^™ adds SolarGuard^™ protection to every plastic-faced sign.

Does SolarGuard^™ Protection Work?  The face on the left was made of “generic” red acrylic and black trim-cap.  The left half was coated with SolarGuard^™ and the face was left outside for ONLY 7 years; your sign will be out there much longer!

How will your business be affected if your sign looks like the sign on the right in a few years?

Just as coated lenses in binoculars increase the light gathering ability of the lens, the special Lumabrite^™ crystal clear coatings we use increase the brightness of our channel letters.

Also, Lumabrite^™ reduces maintenance because of built-in self-cleaning properties.

As an added bonus Lumabrite^™ also makes the letter faces more reflective when the sign is not lighted!

You won’t have dull, dingy plastic faces like those on the right if we manufacture your sign.

Signs Manufacturing^™ adds Lumabrite^™ crystal clear coatings to every plastic-faced sign.  No other local sign company does this.

Our people are factory-trained in the application of Lumabrite^™.
