​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. 

Promote school safety 

​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. 

Announcements

​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. 

School values 

​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.

Signs A La Carte is able to do it all

Having an appealing image is something every business strives for; we are able to custom make or customize the signs you want in order to create the space you want. 

Where does your new business begin?

Outside! To engage and bring in customers you need an outdoor sign or signs to attract them. An outdoor sign is a big purchase for any company or business. It is a highly visible statement you want by passers to see. There are many ways to make your unique sign stand out. 

Dimensional Signs- adds an element of depth to a flat sign's height and width. The shape, shadows and shading of 3D letters, logos and graphics catch the eye like no two-dimensional flat sign can. 

Light LED Signs- are signs comprised of light emitting diodes (LED's) that shine bright and allow you to draw customers into your place of business. These bright lights allow your messages to be seen at night and during the day with ease.

Monument sign- a low-profile freestanding sign, supported by a structural base or other solid structural features other than support poles and may contain signage on more than one side.

Flag Signs- Because all the signs described above require a permit from the township, you can indicate your presence by the flags….. A flag is a great way to attract by passes outside of your business. Tall standing signs are visible from further away enabling a larger audience.

Location is a key component when starting your business. You want as many people as possible to be able to see your business. Signs are the main way you will attract customers. Especially if you are near a busy road or highway, tall standing signs will stand out and make by passers notice you.

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.

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

10/21/2019

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.

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.

The Process of Creating a Custom Monument Sign by Signs A La Carte- West Chester -PA-

Explanation of The Process of Creating a Custom Monument Sign by Signs A La Carte- West Chester -PA-

Have you seen the beautiful shopping center monument sign in Limerick, PA? Signs A La Carte was the proud manufacturer and installer. ​

Picture
​ 
We handled every step in the process to draw attention to the new shopping center coming soon. From pieces of wood and electrical wire, we designed and mounted the illuminated monument. 

Ever wonder how a monument sign is made? Below we’ve included the steps in the sign-making process, including design, fabrication and assembly, and installation. ​

Design
This is typically the most intimidating step in the process for many business owners, but it’s often the most exciting (aside from admiring the newly installed sign). When designing a monument sign, there’s more to it than layout and colors. You should consider the size of your space, the aesthetic of your complex, and the substrates and materials used to create your sign. ​
Picture
​Your monument sign will include both the actual signage and the masonry that helps support the sign’s base. You have options for each component. Business owners will often match their sign to the architecture of their building. Stone, aluminum, wood, acrylic, and other metals are the materials we most frequently use.
 
Before you get too far in the design process, it’s a good idea to check with your municipality to find out what your city code allows. If you are creating your first monument sign, you’ll be required to secure a permit for your sign. 

Fabrication and Assembly
At Signs A La Carte, we have the in-house capabilities to execute and supervise each step in the fabrication and assembly process. This helps ensure that the sign we install at your business matches the specifications we agreed upon during the design phase. Fabrication begins once you’ve approved the design and are ready to move forward.
Mounting the Sign
Assuming all permits have been secured, it’s time to install your sign! Monument signs should be placed perpendicularly to the street. To help ensure your sign is easy to read, make sure you take shadows and sunlight into consideration when placing your sign. Signs A La Carte will guide you through the process. We have all of the tools and equipment needed to securely install your sign. ​
After the footer or foundation of the monument sign are prepared to receive the sign, we secure the metal frame of the sign to the footer. The last step is to slide the acrylic faces with names or phone numbers at their place it should be.

 ​And voila! Your sign is installed and ready to attract visitors to your business.
 
Why Install or Refresh a Monument Sign?
Retailers spend a lot of money to be in high-traffic shopping malls. However, old, unattractive monument faces—or worse, no monument sign at all—are even more costly. Signs A La Carte fabricates and installs shopping mall signs to increase traffic and sales.
 
Many smart retailers are improving their signage for the new year! If you are looking for a new signage solution, Signs A La Carte can help you enhance your ideas or start from scratch. Don’t hesitate to contact us with questions about creating your monument sign or any kind of signs you may need.
