How paint can make a huge difference with custom signage- by Signs A La Carte West Chester, PA-

3/26/2024

0 Comments

 
When you think of signage, you probably are not thinking of how it's made, rather what you want it to look like. At Signs A La Carte we customize all kinds of signage. Big or small, indoor or outdoor, we have got you covered. Our team is always evolving. We want to ensure quality in our work. This is why we have taken the next step and incorporated the Matthews Paint System. When purchasing from a wholesale sign company it's important to understand what you are really buying. Paint is surprisingly a big deal.
There are very few paints that are specially made for signage. Paint is typically made for houses, cars, and other industrial applications. Signage is different. Depending on the location of your sign, it is rare that it will be washed or waxed. Weather can create wear and tear on your sign as well. If you have a specific color in mind some companies may have a hard time matching it. Being able to have a solution for all of these, gives our company a reason to stand out.
Picture
 At Signs A La Carte, we use Matthews Paint System. It has been specifically developed for the signage industry. There are over 90,000 colors to choose from. And we are just getting started. Any color is still able to be configured. This paint is designed for the demands of architectural, commercial, and outdoor sign applications. Using this type of paint does not come easy.

When utilizing this type of paint there are a few things needed. A high quality paint booth is required. The mixing station has a few moving parts, and there are training requirements in place. Our team at Signs A La Carte is trained and ready to go when it comes to painting your signage.
 
The price of this paint may be a little more, but what you are getting is totally worth the price. The paint is made for signage. This will ensure your signage will be durable and long lasting. You want your customers to see your company or business as professional, so why not believe in yourself, and use the best paint made for custom signage?
At Signs A La Carte we offer many different types of signage. We are willing to work with you so that you can have your dream signage stress free.

The details of Standoff signage and how it can improve your business – by Signs A La Carte West Chester, PA –

3/20/2024

0 Comments

 
Are you looking for unique signage to display in your business? The smallest details can make an impact. You should never underestimate the value of signage! Standoff signage can go a long way in improving your work space. They can even be utilized for various reasons.
You may not have heard of the term “ Sign Standoffs'', but you probably have seen them. They are often referred to as standoff screws, which are pieces of hardware used for mounting purposes. The use of sign standoff hardware allows the signage to pop out from the wall.  The standoff itself consists of a barrel, cap, and wall screw. This fastens to the sign and attaches the wall, typically leaving a 1-inch gap.
Picture
 Sign standoffs are usually made from aluminum. They are made with various materials including stainless steel, brass, or other materials with metallic finishes. Sign standoffs can also be finished with satin or polish.

The most popular style is: through- hole standoffs. These can create an even greater visual impact on signage. With this type of signage the holes are drilled into the sign material so the cap can be screwed into the barrel. This creates the separation between the sign panel and the facade it's attached to. Edge grip standoffs are exactly what they sound like. They grip the sign at its edge, so there is no need to screw in any holes. With the edge grip standoff, the hardware of the sign itself is notched. This allowed the cylindrical standoff to fit and hold the sign in place.
 
There are many benefits to using standoff signage. Mounting hardware has become an increasingly popular choice in the sign industry. They give off an aesthetically pleasing look. Standoffs are typically used to transform the appearance of ordinary signage. By adding this hardware you can take a plain sign and give it a three- dimensional look. By doing so, this will be eye catching and show potential customers and clients your professional look, which will give off a positive impression. When looking at the price, standoffs are incredibly cost effective compared to other types of three- dimensional signage.
At Signs A La Carte we offer many different types of signage. We are willing to work with you so that you can have your dream signage stress free. From start to finish we want to ensure you are getting exactly what you are paying for. If you have a vision in mind for what type of standoff  signage you would like to see in front or inside of your business, company, or even your home contact Signs A La Carte today for a free quote. We will send you a proof prior to ensure the sign is exactly what you are looking for.

The difference a CNC Router will do for your custom signage – by Signs A La Carte West Chester, PA-

3/13/2024

Are you looking for signage that can be customized to the shape and specifications you are looking for? A CNC router can help you get there! At Signs A La Carte, we customize all kinds of signage. We work with you, hands on, to ensure you are getting exactly what you are looking for. Our team only produces the best high quality signage, fast and efficiently.
You may be wondering, what is CNC Routing. CNC is a routing manufacturing method that is very well known in the signage industry. It involves the use of a computer-operated cutting machine to shear various signage materials. The router is known for its precision and can be used to cut any shape. Overtime, this device has become more and more popular because of its ability to adapt and become more reliable.
​
Picture
 
The CNC Router is performed using the CAD software to create the cut design. Then, the file that was created is transmitted to the machine for cutting instructions. Once us and our clients decide on a material to use, the machine will get to work.

Our expert design team is here to help your dream signage come to life. If you have a vision in mind for what kind of signage you are looking for, let us know! Once your sign is ready to go, our professional installation team will be at your location to ensure your new custom signage is durable and long lasting.
 
There are many benefits to CNC Routing. This method requires less time and labor meaning we can get your custom signage to you in no time! Utilizing the CNC router is cost effective. There is less material waste when using the router. This has been amazing for our business and those who choose to be eco-friendly.
 
Our in store CNC router helps us create multiple signs throughout the day. Without this, our production team would have much more work on their hands! CNC routers are great for companies or businesses who are looking for bulk signage. At Signs A La Carte, we can create cohesive signage for your brand that can be distributed throughout your building.
At Signs A La Carte we offer many different types of signage. We are willing to work with you so that you can have your dream signage stress free.

How we create and manufacture High-Density Urethane Sign panels – by Signs A La Carte West Chester, PA-

3/4/2024

0 Comments

 
 
Have you ever heard of High-Density Urethane (HDU)? This is a rigid polyurethane foam used in
manufacturing sign panels, dimensional letters, and architectural accents. At Signs A La Carte, we are committed to using only the best quality materials to ensure our custom signage is durable and long lasting. HDU sign panels, hanging signs, Fascia signs, and dimensional letters can all be created right here at Signs A La Carte!
 
When it comes to customization, our team at Signs A La Carte, has endless design options for you to choose from. Your HDU sign can be made of one or many design elements. Our team is ready to work with you from start to finish to ensure you are getting exactly what you are looking for. We offer a wide range of sign textures, lettering, logos, shapes, and sizes.

The HDU Sign manufacturing process and what it entails

Our team uses the CORAFOAM® brand of HDU in all of our manufacturing. CORAFOAM® is specifically designed by DUNA-USA for the signage industry. Manufactured with an extremely tight cell structure, CORAFOAM® is very easy to carve. As a wholesale-only manufacturer to the signage industry, all of our projects come complete and ready for installation. Depending on the custom design you are looking for, all HDU sign projects are priced on a per-job-basis.
During our free consultation we will discuss everything you need to know about our custom signage. Once we provide a quote, and it is accepted, it is time for our manufacturing team to get to work. First, the substrate must be prepared for routing. Typically, masking and priming are the first two steps in the manufacturing process. Next, our manufacturing team will route the design, using our 3D CNC router and prime the panel—ready for paint.
Picture
 
We recently worked with Centered Clay Studio to customize the HDU signage they were looking for. Whether you are looking for one sign or one thousand signs, we are here for all your signage needs and can guarantee precision every time. Additionally, we utilize a high-build primer which has been extensively tested with CORAFOAM® and produces excellent, long lasting results. Finally, your sign is finished using the Matthews Acrylic Polyurethane paint system.
