​Having a large order of signage for our small business may sound like a lot to take on, but at Signs A La Carte we manage our time and ask effective questions to make sure your signage is ready and installed on time. We love large projects and our repeating customers! Since we have worked with the Citadel Country Music Festival in the past we were familiar with what they were looking for when it comes to detail. 
 
When hosting an event of this size, signage is extremely important to help ensure things run smoothly. Guests were able to find their way around by following the A-frame directional signage placed all around the venue. These signs were located at shuttle locations, parking areas, bathrooms, and all necessary spots to make the guests feel safe and comfortable. 
 

At the entrance you could see the various banners we have created to display at the festival. We create banners of all shapes and sizes to show off each unique look. We print on vinyl for a strong, durable outcome. No job is too big for Signs A La Carte! 
 
Working for an extremely large and popular event like https://countryspiritusa.com is incredibly rewarding and exciting. Many clients with large events have last minute add-ons that are necessary for the show. We were able to deliver on time and keep our client happy. This is the beauty of custom signage!

​Back to school season is just around the corner. Are you looking to spruce up your building or classroom? Well you have come to the right place. At Signs A La Carte we can customize all your signage needs. You may be wondering what type of signage I need in a school building. Signage can play an important role within a school system. Customized signs help schools with several functions such as announcements, promotions, and information for the students and faculty. 

​As the COVID-19 pandemic rises, it's important to keep students safe. With many school systems deciding to have in person classes this fall, you want to ensure proper procedures are in place. Having signage throughout the building is a great way to promote the rules and safety implications. 
 
Signage can be used to to display warning and caution messages where they may be a potential hazard. Indoor and outdoor signage is also a must when it comes to navigation. To prevent crowding, enter and exit signs will be needed for your building. You cannot forget about your new students. Their first time in a new and large environment can be scary. Having proper signage to show where classrooms, bathrooms, the cafeteria, and so much more will ease the nerves of students on their first day. 

​Most students find the announcements over the speaker to be boring or annoying. Lets face it, students aren't always paying attention to those. But by having an effective message board in the main hallway will gain attraction because of its customization. By adding attention grabbing features to your announcement board will most definitely draw the students and faculties attention. 

​Your school system can use any type of custom sign to promote the core values of the institution. Using school colors, the motto, and logo across all locations of the school will lift the spirit. At Signs A La Carte we can help you design and install large or small banners, posters, flags, 3D signs, illuminated signs, monument signs, plaques, or any type of indoor or outdoor signage. Let us help you represent your school district!

​As we approach the upcoming school year there are many new factors to consider. With the COVID-19 pandemic continuing, new actions in classrooms must be taken for safety precautions. From a young age all the way through college there have always been signs in a classroom whether you have noticed them or not. These signs are a useful source to direct you where to go, give safety information, or even just for decoration. 

At Signs A La Carte we want everyone to be as safe as possible. Our recommendation for classroom signage is wall graphics. Wall graphics are an easy cost effective way to decorate your classroom. ​

​The different types of wall graphics 
 
Full wall wraps-  will cover the entire wall 
 
Partial wall wraps- can cover a half of the wall 
 
Die-cut wall decals and lettering- are good fo adding wording or small graphics to the wall
 
Exterior walls can also be wrapped or even brick or block surfaces. If you are unsure if we can wrap or decal a part of your classroom wall, let us know and we will help walk you through the process. 

​The most important thing with signage in a classroom is that the signs you choose are not too overwhelming or distracting for the students. The signs or wall graphics need to be attractive enough so that the students and other passers-by notice them so that they can serve their purpose. On the other hand, you don’t wall all the attention to be on the signs, this can be distracting for students. 

With the current pandemic going on, we want everyone to be as healthy as possible. At Signs A La Carte we are working hard to ensure everyone is getting their proper safety signage. With the upcoming school year approaching we want schools, parents, and students to have a peace of mind when walking into the building. Signage is the best way to explain to students what needs to happen and the new rules within the building.

A directory sign can help keep your visitors or clients on the right track. You want the process of your business to run smoothly. Directory signs will help keep the traffic flow easy and smooth. In a larger building directory signs are a must. If there are various levels, it is a good idea to have a large sign in the front of the building explaining where each destination is. Perhaps it can even be in the lobby. Along with that, there should be many signs within the multi-story building to direct you to where you need to be. There are many different types of directory signs; let's take a look at them. 

​Main lobby: These main lobby signs could be the first sign the visitor sees when they walk into the building. You want to leave a good first impression, with a well put together directory sign, this will ensure that the guest will have a notable time. 
 
Elevator: Another great idea would be to add a directory sign in the elevators of the building. Many people get nervous in the elevator for different reasons. Some may be heading up to a job interview, others could just be claustrophobic. If the nerves kick in, there is a chance they may have already forgotten what they read on the lobby directory sign. Having the extra sign in the elevator will ensure that the guest will be more confident in where they are going. 
 
Upper level: Once you exit the elevator on to the correct floor destination, you then need to know where to turn. Having a large wall near the elevator will make a perfect spot for the upper floor level directory. Even simple office names or numbers will make all the difference when a visitor is looking for the correct spot. 
 
Internal: Having these directories will keep the visitors from being lost in a large building. It is best there is no wandering and each person can easily access where they want to be in a short period of time. 

​Another essential item you need for your business is a lobby sign. Lobby signs are great for any purpose. Along with directory signs, they could be used for direction or they could be just for a warm welcome to the business. A lobby sign is the first thing a visitor sees when they walk into the business so it is important to make a great first impression. We make all kinds of lobby signs to fit the needs of your business. If you have a design in mind, we can custom make it for you! At Signs A La Carte we want to work with you to create the signs you want to see everyday.

Wall Graphics- can add a pop on your plain wall. Using a mission statement or a positive quote can create a welcoming space. 
Window Graphics- inside a building, you may find different business, having your name and open hours on the entrance door can be a good idea.
Dimensional letters/ signs- are 3D letters made that are mounted individually to the wall. They can either be raised on clear spacers or mounted flush with the wall.
Mounted signs on standoff- are designed to be mounted with specialized hardware, which consists of a barrel, cap, and wall screw.

When a site is under construction, signage is important. It shows which company is working on the site or which business is under construction. When the building is complete, signs that direct people through the building are also imperative. And don’t forget about the builder’s vehicles—builders with their name and contact info on the side of their vehicles are more likely to get inquiries from people with similar projects. 
 
Construction sites are an ideal setting for making your brand visible to the public. Using high-quality materials and color matching, Signs A La Carte can customize your sign project, brining your creative vision to life and getting your brand noticed. 
 
We’ve already completed several projects for commercial builders and property managers. Take a look at a few of our examples below. 

​A Logo and Lettering for Hazley Builders 
 
Thanks to the new graphics on their vehicles, Hazley Builders can grab attention with a unique design that represents their brand and includes their logo, company name, and website. Whether they’re on the road, on a sales call, or parked in front of your business, the company gets noticed. 

​Post Signs for Spire 
 
Signs A La Carte manufactured two types of post signs for Spire. One is made with 6” x 6” x 10’ wood posts, and the hanging sign has a panel made of 96” by 16” MDO. The other is made with 4” by 4” x 5’ wood posts. Between the posts, the panel will be made of MDO. On all signs, we’ll flush their logo customized with a specific red acrylic. 

Spire will install the posts on their construction sites so if someone is interested in their project, they’ll know Spire is doing the work. ​

​Directional, Directory Signs, and ADA Signs for Drexelbrook Catering 
 
Signs A La Carte designed and manufactured 3D signs with different layers of material for the interior building at Drexelbrook Catering. The base is a brushed aluminum material with a black acrylic face. On top of the frame, we added the cut-out logo in a whiite acrylic circle with UV printed graphics. We adhered a small brushed aluminum plate with black textured vinyl. Frames are mounted to the wall with standoffs made from brushed aluminum to match the identification signs. The building’s luxurious appearance makes visitors want to return to the space.

Signs A La Carte designed all the signs for our neighboring business, Tilted Axes of West Chester, an axe-throwing and BYOB food and drink venue. Patrons throw axes in a safe line for two hours while enjoying time with friends and getting a great workout. Each group has a coach who explains the rules and teaches you how to throw the axes. You can also play darts and tic-tac-toe, listen to music, and buy pizzas from a food truck.
 
Owners Jason and Jake started from scratch with an empty building. With the help of friends and family, they built everything, from the tables to the soundproofing walls. When Jason came to Signs A La Carte in December, he immediately decided to work on his signs project with us. The venue was opening in two weeks, and he needed to be ready with signs advertising the new business. 

​We started out doing one interior sign and window graphics. The logo was printed on vinyl, laminated, and applied to the wall of the entrance. 

Behind the Tilted Axes customer service desk, the white wall was covered by a wall graphic with the logo. After working on his reception area, Jason noticed that his entertainment center needed some adjustments. Signs A La Carte created stickers for the pool table area that said, ‘No drinks and food on the pool table.

​The last big job was the storefront sign. At this point, Jason decided to create a franchise, which meant he needed to rethink his logo and add more colors. The outdoor sign was printed on vinyl applied on acrylic with an aluminum frame. His little touch adding black pieces in the corners looks even better. 

Then Jason came to us with a wonderful idea for decorating the bathroom doors. Like with the wall, we used overlaminate printed vinyl. To avoid being visible from outside, the plain doors became a nice plaid. 

If you get the chance, go throw axes and check out the beautiful signs. And if you like the work we did and want to invest in your signage, don’t hesitate to contact us. We’ll work with you to grow your business! 

​Sometimes wrapping an object is more cost effective than painting it, especially when you’re working with a complicated design. It’s easier to correct a shape before printing than it is to repaint a wall. Vinyl wrapping provides endless creative and branding opportunities. But it’s sometimes hard to wrap certain items because of the complexity of the elements.
 
Here are three important things Signs A La Carte considers for each vinyl project.
 
The Shape
Even though vinyl can handle deformity, sometimes when there’s too much distortion, the adhesive behind the vinyl cracks. Curved shapes and spheres are almost impossible to wrap. The Signs A La Carte team has to use cast vinyl for these shapes.
 
Wrapping a bike? Consider painting it instead. With all of the curves on the bike’s frame, a vinyl wrap will take significantly longer to complete.
 
The Surface
Our customers frequently ask if we can refurbish their signs. Our response: “We’ll see what we can do!” Vinyl must stick perfectly on the surface of the sign to look good and withstand the elements. We ask our customers to bring us their sign or send us a photo so we know exactly what we’re working with.
 
When Signs A La Carte does mural wraps, we bring our adhesion test kit to test the wall and determine which vinyl to use. Vinyl doesn’t work well on wood if the surface is rough and untreated. This also applies to rusted metal.
 
The Temperature
Vinyl is fabricated to be durable and endure deformation. Temperature can negatively impact adhesion to a surface and shorten the lifespan of the vinyl. Rapidly changing temperatures or temperatures that are extremely hot or cold are not good for vinyl—the finish will peel and crack. We don’t recommend installing outdoor wraps in below-freezing temperatures because the vinyl adhesive won’t stick. 

​We Can Wrap Anything with Patience
No matter what you want to wrap, Signs A La Carte can do it. However, preparing the area and applying the vinyl might take longer than usual.
 
Examples of some of the less-common objects we’ve wrapped include:

• An outdoor freezer
• A Bitcoin machine
• A helmet
• A pole inside a restaurant
• A mirror
• A bathroom door 

Vinyl wraps provide an economical way to decorate surfaces, and they’re easily removable. From walls and posters to storefront signs, Signs A La Carte can wrap anything with a smooth surface. We can also protect your vehicle against extreme elements and road debris while making your brand visible to potential customers.
