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

0 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!

The Types of Indoor Office Signage for Your Business by Signs A La Carte- West Chester, PA-

10/21/2019

1 Comment

 

Signs A La Carte has a variety of options to custom signs in an office.


Whether you have a small business, a medium-sized organization, or a big business, office signage is very useful. Office business signs have two primary purposes: They help your team to be more organized and efficient, and they guide visitors and new employees to your space. 
 
At Signs A La Carte, we offer a variety of customized options. 
 
Benefits of Indoor Office Signage 
 
Workplace productivity increases with wall signs. These signs can be mounted on stand-off for a dimensional look, or they can be directly installed on the wall. The creativity of your design can enhance the decor and aesthetics of your office. Office business signs also help point everyone in the right direction without distracting others in the office. 
 
Picture
Types of Business Signs 
​Some common types of indoor business signs include: 

  • ADA compliant signs 
  • Building signs 
  • Conference room signs 
  • Corridor signs 
  • Door signs 
  • Lobby signs 
  • Waiting area signs 
  • Wall signs 

Signs A La Carte uses a variety of materials to create custom signs like the one below:. ​
Vinyl 
Applied on the wall, vinyl is a material that can be easily applied to make your name, logo, and lettering stand out in any color, size, or font you want. 
 
Wallpaper 
An eco-friendly option, wallpaper covers the entire wall or part of a wall with the image of your choosing. 
 
Window Graphics 
Window graphics serve the same purpose as wall vinyl. But rather than having your graphics on the wall, they’re displayed on the windows. 
 
Frosted or Etched Vinyl 
This type of vinyl is applied on windows to make a room or office more private. 
Picture
Plaques 
In most offices, plaques are used to display the name of the receptionist or the company’s name in a professional style. 
 
Directory Signs 
Customized to match your office’s interior design, directory signs help customers navigate the offices in a large building. 
 



​ADA Signage 
ADA signs are required by law. They help people with reduced vision navigate buildings and are commonly installed near elevators, bathrooms, and exits. ​
Picture
Dimensional Letters 
If you want to make your message or brand stand out, dimensional letters are designed to attract attention. These visible and noticeable signs help notify visitors when they’ve reached the right destination. 
 
Acrylic Signs 
These signs have a sophisticated look for displaying eye-catching branding and logos. Acrylic signs are mounted with standoffs, and you can choose the color and the size. You can also mix different materials and create multiple layers by adding letters, frosted vinyl, printed vinyl, and more. 
 
Aluminum Signs 
Aluminum signs can be used in three ways: as the face of the sign, as a cut-out that allows light and color to pass through the letters and logo, or as letters and shapes that directly stud to the wall. ​
Ready to Create Custom Office Signage? 
 
Signs A La Carte can customize the size, color, font, and shape of signage that reflects your business identity. If you like the examples above and are looking for something similar or completely different, give us a call and our teams are happy to help with your signage needs.

Exterior signages for Kids' Clubhouse of the Mainline by Signs A La Carte- West Chester, PA-

7/29/2019

0 Comments

 

Signs A La Carte installed an Awning and Window Graphics for Kids' Clubhouse of the Mainline.


When Angela Bruno moved to Pennsylvania from California, she discovered that a drop-off daycare didn’t exist in the area. She set out to start her own daycare, and once she found a facility, she contacted Signs A La Carte to create her signage. But first she needed to get her sign installation approved with the building landlord and the township—when you open a business, it’s important to follow the rules in the area. 
 
Angela wanted to have window graphics and a lighted awning installed over the door. This would allow parents to stay sheltered from the elements when their children leave the daycare. The light is also important, especially during the winter months when it gets dark early, so parents and their children can feel safe. 
 
Signs A La Carte helped Angela get approvals from the township. To do this, we needed to have everything ready to submit for the project, including measurements, colors, and the exact location of the signage. After the township issued their approval and Angela signed off on the details of her custom signs, we started production. The biggest component was the awning. 
​Creating an Awning 
 
On the awning fabric, we applied white-cut lettering that resists harsh weather. Angela wanted the awning to protect parents from the rain while they’re waiting to pick up their kids. Since Angela couldn’t put her business name on the building, she decided to place it on the awning instead. This helped her visually market her daycare—white lettering on dark green fabric is great for grabbing attention. The system of aluminum frames also provides a clean look and allows the fabric to be tightly stretched across the frame. 
Picture

​Installing Window Graphics 
 
Initially Angela was looking for colorful graphics to install on the windows. Instead, she decided to use a frosted vinyl so those outside the building couldn’t see inside and so sunlight could still pass through the vinyl.

​Angela’s logo is printed on the front door with the center’s hours. We used the cut-letter system and printed the graphics on our large-format printer. After lamination, we used the Graphtec plotter to cut around the letters and logo. Days and hours of operation are written in white. Signs A La Carte cut a white vinyl neatly with the plotter. 


​Adding a Custom Floor Mat 
 
Finally, Angela asked Signs A La Carte to create a floor mat with her logo. The mat matched both the interior and exterior signage, as well as the vinyl on the door.
