Frosted and Clear Acrylic Signage and logos – by Signs A La Carte West Chester, PA-

11/2/2022

1 Comment

 
​Adding attractive acrylic signage to your business will encapsulate a brand image you want your customers or clients to see. Adding any type of signage to your business will show passers-by who you are and what you represent. Acrylic signage is a modern look that can be used in lobbies, office spaces, reception areas, and almost anywhere.
 
​We start every acrylic sign by cutting the pre-frosted sheet into the shape the client is looking for. Next, we use our CNC router to maximize the precision of the dimensions for the custom cut pieces. Once we have the shape the client is looking for we then imprint the cut of the vinyl graphics or lettering to the mounted panel. To finish off the look we add brushed aluminum standoffs. This is how we make a stand acrylic sign.

Using Window Graphics to create a unique look for your business by Signs A La Carte, West Chester, PA-

2/15/2021

0 Comments

 
​Using window graphics are a great way to get passers-by into your store or local business. By advertising on your windows you are increasing the marketing and branding messages that your building is sending. Customizing your brand is crucial for success.
 
We are very proud to have just recently installed graphics on the windows of a local business in West Chester “éclat chocolate”. The graphic design was created by Leah Marchant, A local designer specializing in experiential engagement and installation design.
 
Signs A La Carte offers a wide selection of customizable window graphics. We are able to create something you will love. From size, color, font and even specialty graphics we can do it all. If you are not sure where to begin do not worry, we have got you covered. We can work together to create the window graphic that will help get potential customers in your door. 
 
Leah worked with Chris Curtain, the owner and master chocolatier of éclat chocolate, in order to create his storefront window graphic. The idea was to form a frame around the window and project a video display inside of it. Since the projection can be appreciated only in the evening hours, the frame is a part of the installation that can be appreciated by customers at any time of day, whether they are entering the store or just passing by. 
Picture

How did Leah choose this design?

​“I wanted to create a design that was eye catching, engaging and ultimately capable of transforming the shape of a projected video. In creating this installation I looked at various forms— elements in nature, torn gift packaging, melted chocolate, and the microscopic structure of a caramel shard.” This was Leah’s first installation with projection, and her largest vinyl installation to date. “It is always thrilling to see a design come to life, from computer screen to storefront. I was amazed with the quality of the shapes and how detailed they look at their large scale.” To learn more about Leah and her work, collaborations or inquiries, connect with her via Instagram at @Leah_Marchant. We loved having Leah work with our team to create her beautiful design! 
 
If you are coming to West Chester, do not hesitate to check out éclat chocolate in town. You will enjoy the wonderful smell of all the delicious chocolate they have in their store. You will also notice their multiple choices of chocolate with spice and other options. The last thing to watch out for is that taste, ohlala: the chocolate melts in your mouth and leaves you speechless, it is so unique. If you are interested in trying out their unique chocolate check out their website https://eclatchocolate.com.

Installing Custom Window Clings for Savvy Custom Gifts by Signs A La Carte - West Chester, PA-

2/3/2020

0 Comments

 

Just before Christmas, Signs A La Carte went to Savvy Custom Gifts to install window clings on doors and white lettering in their showroom and on their corridor wall. 


​By the way, Savvy Custom Gifts offers custom, personalized gifts, gift baskets, and promotional products. Owner Katie Taylor and her creative team will partner with you to design and create beautiful and affordable personalized gifts for your family, friends, and customers. ​
Katie wanted to have white lettering with her company’s logo on two walls. We used the Graphtec plotter to cut the design, weeded the extra material, and masked the signs to be installed. Her business also had several glass doors that needed to be updated with vinyl.  ​
Picture
Benefits of Window Clings ​
Signs A La Carte installed printed window clings. These decals have no adhesive backing, and static electricity helps them stick to the smooth surface. Window clings can be printed and cut into any shape your business needs. They’re made from flexible, easy-to-move thin vinyl film that can be installed in seconds. 
​
​
Since the clings have no adhesive backing, you can easily reposition them if needed and even use them in another location. Most importantly, this product leaves no residue. 

Other Types of Window Decals

We can install many other window products, each with their own specifications. Here are some tips for deciding which product is right for your business. 
Clear and opaque decals are best used as a more permanent solution. They adhere to the window using an adhesive. Once placed on a window or door, the decal is removable, but not reusable. With their durability, decals can be used indoors or outdoors. ​
Perforated decals appear opaque from the outside but allow you to see through them from the inside. ​
Frosted decals are a mix between clear and opaque window decals. Etched vinyl is not completely clear or completely opaque, but it allows light and shadows to pass through, offering privacy and light. ​
Lettering is another way to make words stand out. The color you choose is very important. For stand-alone text, white letters provide the greatest contrast and best readability, whether the sign is going on the front or inside of your window. 
If you decide to use colors other than black and white, it’s important to make sure there’s enough contrast between the background color and the lettering so the text is readable from a distance. Lighter color letters work well with a darker background, while darker letters stand out well on a light background.  
 
Window decals are great for promoting your business, whether it’s a short-term or long-term solution. When Signs A La Carte does a site survey, our team can suggest multiple options.  
 
For a free estimate, contact us so we can discuss your next Sign project. And if you need personalized gift ideas for your family, friends, and customers, reach out to Savvy Custom Gifts. Katie and her team are great to work with! ​

How Frosted and Etched Vinyl Graphics Give Your Business More Privacy  by Signs A La Carte - West Chester, PA-

11/18/2019

2 Comments

 

Frosted or etched adhesive vinyl graphics keep privacy in conference rooms and executive offices or represent the corporate brand temperately, on sliding doors and glass partitions.


​The terms frosted and etched glass come from the type of glass work that existed before vinyl. Etched and frosted glass are generic terms for decorative, translucent glass that obscures visibility and also diffuses light. The difference between the two is in their meaning. 
 
Etching is the process of altering the surface of the glass to create a decorative effect. Frosting changes the surface of the glass from transparent to translucent to create an opaque, cloudy appearance. This is usually achieved by acid-etching, sometimes called ‘French embossing,’ one of the oldest decorative glass techniques. Thousands of years ago, craftsmen discovered that heating fluorite, a dark green mineral, produced hydrofluoric acid. When applied to glass, it eroded the top layer of glass and left a frosted look. 
 
Nowadays to get the effect of frosted glass without using a dangerous chemical, we use vinyl, which is applied on glass. This product is a three-mil, high-quality PVC film with a soft and constant light transmission that prevents reflection. The clear and permanent adhesive is widely appropriate for use on plotter cutting systems. It can be used indoors and outdoors on windows and glass doors. 
​Frosted and etched vinyl graphics maintain the privacy of conference rooms and executive offices. They can also help display a corporate brand on sliding doors and glass partitions. 

​Case Study: A. Duie Pyle
For A. Duie Pyle, the Northeast’s premier transportation and logistics provider, etched glass vinyl created privacy in the company’s conference room. Employees using the conference room benefitted from the natural light the vinyl allowed to pass into the room, while still maintaining privacy from the public hallway. Signs A La Carte also cut A. Duie Pyle’s logo out of the vinyl to create a branded wall. 

​International Ministries
 
When we worked with International Ministries, also known as the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society, we used frosted vinyl to make the entrance door more decorative. The logo is trimmed like a step and repeat banner. With a strip of etched glass at eye-level, it’s an attractive and sophisticated addition to the business’s ambiance. 
Picture

​River Avenue Digital
 
Additionally, frosted or etched adhesive vinyl graphics maintain privacy from the outside. River Avenue Digital came to Signs A La Carte for this type of vinyl to create a layer of privacy between the office and passerbys on the street. It gives the office a high-class, professional look. 
Picture

​Kids Clubhouse of the Mainline 
 
Etched and frosted vinyl is also incredibly useful when working with kids. Signs A La Carte installed frosted vinyl on the windows at Kids Clubhouse of the Mainline, a daycare on demand. During the day, sunlight can pass through the vinyl, but the kids and employees aren’t distracted by what’s happening outside. 
Picture
​Whether you need an upscale look for your storefront or interior windows or you want to incorporate frosted glass vinyl for a custom logo or signboard, Signs A La Carte will exceed your expectations by applying attractive and versatile material. Give us a call if you want to install privacy window film at your business!
