There are several different types of materials you can use for business signs. The most common materials for a sign that has been printed are paper and vinyl or PVC. The vinyl or PVC is perfect for signs that are going to be exposed to the weather and the elements. A paper sign is great for using inside because it is affordable and lightweight. There are also signs that can be made from a type of mesh that is great for outdoor use. Here are some basic facts about the different materials.
PVC signs
PVC or vinyl signs are made from a petroleum-based material that is waterproof, tear-resistant, and fire-resistant. When you have outdoor banners or business signs in Hawaii, they need to be resistant to the elements. The wind during a normal day or during a storm can be very harsh. That wind can shear paper signs and even some fabric signs. If you’re worried about wind shear, you should consider a PVC or vinyl sign.
You can find many signs made of this material that comes from Hon Graphics. They print quality signs on many different materials. In addition to PVC or vinyl, you can find mesh signs.
Mesh Signs
Mesh business signs are made of a lightweight material that has thousands of tiny holes all over it. Since the holes are so small, you will be able to see the image and the words on the banner, but the banner will not be a completely solid surface. That means it will allow air and water to pass through. So if you are worried about the wind, a mesh sign could be useful because it will allow air to pass through. It will also be useful if you want the sign to dry quickly. A mesh sign will quickly shed water even after a strong rain.
