A New Protocol for Classrooms- What Signs you need by Signs A La Carte West Chester, PA-

8/10/2020

1 Comment

 

Right now, the educational environment is changing and evolving. Why don't you use effective school and classroom signs to motivate students and help make the space they work healthy .


​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. 

There are many different options when it comes to signage. You want your classroom to standout in the best way. Many students and parents have mixed emotions about returning back to school this fall. To ensure everyone that the classroom can be a safe space it is best to have as many safety signs as possible. For example “6 Feet apart” or “wash your hands” are signs that will most likely be the most recognizable signs in the building. ​
Picture

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

​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. 

Here are some ideas on how to have the perfect sign

  • Limit how much information you put on the sign- stay on topic and don’t use too many words 
  • Stick to a theme within the classroom- this will make learning more appealing 
  • Stick the the same color scheme- use colors that work well with each other
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.

How to display a trade show using signage

2/24/2020

6 Comments

 

Do you think your trade show has everything it needs to stand out?

​A great way to help boost your company or business is to attend a trade show. There are various ways to help your display stand out compared to others. Signs A La Carte is able to create all your signage needs to ensure you have all the tools you need to succeed.

You want your display to stand out.

​Having an eye-catching banner could be the first thing that will attract the audience. A tall or distinctive display should do the trick. Make sure you have a colorful logo or accent to help promote your brand and grab the potential consumer.  
 
Before you have an effective display designed, you first need to think about what you want your company or business to show. What are you looking to achieve within your trade show? Are you looking for leads? Brand awareness? Are you having a new product launch? Each of these things can create a different type of display. At first glance you should be able to understand what the display is targeting.
 
Signs A La Carte is able to help you create anything you would need for your trade show. From banners to table runners we can create your dream trade show display. We are able to put your logo on practically whatever you need to create an effective trade show. Signs A La Carte wants the best for your company.
 
There is not always a lot of time to grab someone’s attention at a display or trade show. The amount of people attending may vary from large too small. But, it is important that you stand out regardless. 

What Signs A La carte can do

 A fabric pop-up display is one of the first things that can grab attention. Since they are so tall theses are perfect for a large convention when there are many other suppliers there. The fabric makes the color vibrant and easy to read. 


Another way to grab attention by being in sync. All of these displays were made by Signs A La Carte. We are more than just your regular sign company. We can make table runners as well as regular pop up displays. We want to brand your company in the best way possible. Having matching display items can make your trade show look very professional and well put together. 


Do you have an outdoor event you want to promote yourself at? Signs A La Carte is able to create pop-up tents to have over your display. These are a great way for visitors to be able to see your display from all over the designated area. 

Check out some of the companies we loved working with 

Come to Signs A La Carte with all your trade show needs. If you have a vision for what you want, we are able to help make it become a reality. Contact us today for a free estimate.

Important Considerations for Your Vinyl Wrap by Signs A La Carte -West Chester, PA-

6/17/2019

2 Comments

 

Vinyl is useful for any type of wrap, sometimes it is difficult to wrap objects.


​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.

Signs A La Carte: Promotional item: A-Frame

10/9/2018

Signs A La Carte will help you to promote your business with A-Frame from Plasticade.

Picture

If you need an easy way to promote your message or your event, indicate a direction, a new address or have a new menu, Signs A La Carte has white portable signs for rent or for sell. Restaurants, schools, shops and festivals are using the system of Deluxe Signicade A-frame from Plasticade to sponsor their message temporary on their sidewalk, paved area or grass. The high quality of the sidewalk sign allows the possibility of being reusable.

​

The portable stand sign holds one sheet of Coroplast (size:2’’ by 3’) on each side. Your message will be printed on vinyl and applied to the Coroplast that slides in and out in the sidewalk curb sign, perfectly.
Two different technics could be used: cut monochrome vinyl or printed vinyl. If the sign needs to handle harsh and wet weather for a long period of time, a laminate could be applied on the printed vinyl. Having the possibility to change the coroplast on demand allows you to have different messages printed that you can placed on the frame when you decide. You may even have to one message on the coroplast that you can flip whenever you want. ​
Picture
​If you want to have more flexibility and dynamism with your sign, we can transform your poster frame in a marker board, with a chalk vinyl or a dry erase vinyl that will allow you to change your message anytime.
Because of its light weight (20lbs) and its handles, you may bring back the A-Frame inside each night. It’s easy to fold and it could be store in a small area.
