Sintra (PVC) Signs For Events And Displaying Wall Graphic Signs
There are a lot of factors to consider when choosing the best kind of rigid sign for your business. Flat, durable, flexible, and lightweight, they make great indoor and limited outdoor signs. Polyvinyl chloride signs, also known as PVC or Sintra signs, have all these characteristics along with the added bonuses of being low cost and having a very smooth, clean texture. Their texture makes it easier to print and make out more complex fonts and graphics from a distance if needed.
What Are PVC Signs?
PVC signs are a type of rigid sign - signs that are known for being flexible, able to be used in almost any setting, and inexpensive compared to illuminated, digital, or fully metal signs. Some owe their flexibility to a foam core or versatile, lightweight kinds of metal. However, PVC signs are made of firm plastic sheets that are strong but still have some give that allow them to be easily made into custom shapes if needed. This majority plastic material makes them resistant to rust, mold, and many other forms of damage that other foam core or less solidly constructed signs made only for indoor use are prone to. They can be made thicker or thinner without decreasing their durability or increasing their cost. The most common choices of thickness are 3 mm or 6mm. Signs that need to have a lot of text, graphics, or detail on them are the primary users of NYC PVC signs. Their strong construction and smooth matte surface make printing on them easy and the end results professional and excellent looking. Therefore, so many menu boards, trade show signs, and retail store signs, to name a few, make use of this type of sign.

What Features do PVC Signs Have?
Even besides being strong, flexible, easy to transport and customize in shape, PVC signs have a lot to recommend them. Their durability is well known, but they’re also waterproof, making them a better outdoor sign choice than other comparably priced rigid signs. Since they’re so customizable and adaptable for so many different purposes, there are lots of ways to display them.
- Hanging – Holes can be drilled in the sign to allow them to be hung from the ceiling near an entrance area or whatever area it’s relevant to.
- Framing – For a more permanent sign, a frame can provide protection, decoration, and emphasis.
- Easel– A smaller or medium sized sign will look great and be fully visible at a trade show or retail store when displayed on an easel.
- Self-supporting– If there isn’t enough space for a separate supporting tool like an easel or the an opportunity to adhere it to the wall, as is the case with a desk name plate sign, your sign can be bent at the bottom to provide it with a built in support.
- Velcro or Double-Sided Tape– If you want to attach your sign to the wall but only temporarily, or you’re not allowed or able to drill into the wall, this kind of sign isn’t too heavy to use some sturdy Velcro or tape to do the job instead.
- Bolts – If you want to bolt your sign to the wall, you can easily do it. PVC signs are not too thick or resistant, and look great as more permanent signs on a wall.
