​Adding a sign to your business can make a big difference. You want to make sure you find a sign that fits your facility space in a location where your company’s name, logo, and tagline are visible.
 
A lobby sign usually stands on the wall, and it’s the first thing your customers will see when they enter your office or store. With so many font, color, size, and lighting options, you can create a unique sign that stands out—and at Signs A La Carte, we can help! 

​Types of Lobby Signs
What types of lobby signs can you choose from? Here are some options for customizing your future lobby signage:

• A standoff clear or white acrylic with printed vinyl on the front or back
• A standoff completely translucent acrylic with etched vinyl in the back
• Cut letters on clear or white acrylic
• A small cabinet with illuminated acrylic and cut letters or entirely wrapped vinyl that allows light to pass through
• A large printed vinyl
• Aluminum/acrylic dimensional letters directly applied to the wall
• A mix of everything above 

​Examples
 
For the acrylic base, you can have it corner rounded or squared, border flat or beveled, lighted or non-lighted. The stand-off mounting gives your sign a dimensional look.
 

At Signs A La Carte, our signs are manufactured in house, and vinyl is printed on a large format, latex water-based, eco friendly printer. 

You have a variety of options to promote your brand with a lobby sign. If you think you need more than a lobby sign, Signs A La Carte can provide other signage including window and wall graphics, door decals, or sign stands.
 
We’ll help you find the right solution for your budget that best promotes your brand and matches the decor and aesthetic of your store or office. Whether you’re moving to a new building, opening a new location, or simply improving or rebranding your current location, give us a call! Our design team can work from your existing brand or create a custom concept for you. Each project begins with an initial consultation to provide the best options for your specifications.

​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.

Nowadays everything is visual. Have you ever noticed that wrapped vehicles grab your attention as you drive down the road?
 
That’s the goal! Wrapped vehicles are made for mobile marketing, and they work. These vehicles stand out from the other cars on the road because they have a nice look and design.
 
Signs A La Carte handles fleet wrap. We work with customers to help them promote their brands on the go. Our customers want to grab attention with unique designs that represent their brands, including their logo, company name, website, phone number, and more.
 
Here are a few reasons you should visit Signs A La Carte if you’re thinking about professionally wrapping your vehicles. 

​We Come to You
Signs A La Carte will come to your business to see your vehicles. We bring color samples to match your desired colors as closely as possible.
 
You Always Have the Final Opinion
After you decide on a color and design, we’ll always send you proofs to review before we print and apply your graphic on the vehicle.
 
Quality is Our Focus
We use high-quality products, 3M or Avery vinyls and laminates. These products are custom designed for the exterior of your business trucks, delivery vans, or service cars. You won’t have to worry about fuzzy, messy, or unprofessional logos slapped on the side of your vehicle or conflicting color schemes or fonts that don’t align with your brand. Lamination (treating the vinyl with a laminate layer) is useful because it prevents the colors from fading and protects from UV, dirt, and debris.
 
We’re Here as Your Fleet Grows
If you have more than one vehicle to wrap and we already have your graphics, we can easily reprint everything multiple times. Your vehicles will all look the same, and you’ll be recognized on the road. When you return, we’ll be ready to take care of your entire fleet.
 
The Fence Authority Example
The most common types of commercial fleet wraps are lettering and logo cut letters. We use a Graphtec machine that cuts exact shapes. 

Here’s other examples of the vehicle fleet wraps Signs A La Carte did for:

​As we spend more time commuting—an average of 26 minutes one way—businesses have a lot to gain from focusing their advertising efforts on the road. Printing costs are low, and considering the 3,000 to 7,000 times your wrap will be seen per day depending on the location of your vehicle, it’s worth the investment.

​Do you want to impress your current customers and drive traffic to your business? Try using modern light emitting diodes  (LED)  technology on your signs. LED signs can be customized with your company’s font, colors, and logo. Plus, potential customers will pay more attention to your business with a brand-new LED sign.
 
Here are some advantages to having LED signage.
 
Unique Style
Custom-made LED signage from Signs A La Carte is manufactured to your specifications. You choose the size, color, shape, and other details of your sign.
 
Easy Maintenance
LED signs have a longer life and are designed by section, which means they’re easy to replace when necessary.
 
Environmentally Friendly
Using LED is better for the environment. You help minimize pollution by putting fewer fluorescent bulbs and traditional neon signage in the landfill, and you might even see reduced energy costs! Did you know you can upgrade your old neon or bulb signs to LED?
 
High Visibility
LED signs are bright by day and by night. These illuminated signs are one of your most valuable marketing tools for making your business stand out.
 
Versatility
One thing all LED signs have in common is their ability to be installed indoors and outdoors.

​Ready to see an LED sign in action? Take a look at what Signs A La Carte did for the store front at PromMiss Dresses. Channel letters are illuminated by LED signs. In addition to its use for retail storefronts and businesses with late-night hours, the illuminated exterior sign can also be used for awning signs, monument signs, and parking area signs. 

​Since LED signs provide vibrant light, the lights installed on the edge of the sign are powerful enough to add quality and brightness, even if you have an opaque sign. Take this FPA lobby sign, for example. 

​LED signage can make a great addition to your business. Its indoor and outdoor versatility increases your business’s visual appeal and sends the right message to your customers.

​When Dr. Joseph Schneider opened his new recovery center and offices in Chadds Ford, Hope: Brain and Body Recovery Center, he needed a new lobby sign and window graphics. 
 
Dr. Joe and his team work with patients recovering from cognitive losses, emotional imbalances, and loss of physical function from concussions, traumatic brain injuries, dementia, autism, strokes, and other neurological conditions. They provide rehabilitation and therapeutic care to stimulate and strengthen the brain.

​Signs A La Carte came to Hope Brain and Body Recovery Center’s new office to understand their signage needs. Dr. Joe knew exactly what he wanted in a sign:
 

• A lobby sign that looked exactly like his business card
• The center’s name and information displayed on the front and side doors

 
Unfortunately, the old sign was still in place, and ​Signs A La Carte had two options—cover it or ask the landlord to remove the sign and repaint the wall.
 
​Signs A La Carte decided to cover the old sign with the new lobby sign attached with standoffs. Eventually, the landlord removed the old sign and repainted the wall. Dr. Joe loves having the lobby sign mounted on the wall with standoffs. We decided to apply grey vinyl on the back of an acrylic face, and on the front, the picture and white cut lettering. The great thing about this process is that the sign appears to be a 3D image. 

​Dr. Joe was ecstatic when he saw the lobby sign and doors. He even prefers the employee-only door. As a sign owner, it’s a great feeling when you see your customer happy—it makes your day! We loved meeting Dr. Joe and his team and hearing about all the great work they do for their patients, both adults and children.

​Did you know your walls and windows are excellent places to customize your business? As a business owner, you have a large area where you can display information about your company or simply personalize it with an eye-catching graphic. You could also cover your wall entirely or partially with pre-cut vinyl.
 

A new product on the market gives you another option for covering your walls: wallpaper. It’s more ecological than vinyl, and to stick it on the wall, we just wet the back surface with water. Since it’s printed on a large printer, your wall will be covered with four-foot wide bands of paper. Plus, the product can be stretched—we aren’t afraid to rip it when we apply it! ​

​Window Graphics
If your business has windows, you can cover them with custom vinyl graphics. Cut lettering is the most frequently used decal. It can display your store hours, product lines, and of course, your business name. 

​You might also have conference rooms surrounded by windows. Maybe you want privacy, but you also want natural light to pass through. Signs A La Carte has exactly what you need. You can’t see through etched vinyl, but photons can still cross the translucent surface. Best of all, it looks great! 

On a car, monochrome cut lettering is good for promoting your business economically, and it’s also a long-term investment. Include your name, phone number, logo, and website, and when drivers see your car on the road, they’ll think, “Hey, I need to give this place a call!” ​

​Contact us at 484-464-0111 if you want a stylish interior for your business or a vinyl wrap for your car!  

​If you’re a seasoned exhibitor or event demonstrator, there’s nothing more important at a trade show than presenting your products or services in an eye-catching way. During the convention or event, you’re looking for attention and sales, and you want to look professional.
 
To look like a trade show expert, you need a table throw or runner table with your logo. Adding a mini pull-up banner or mini A-frame that stands on your table is an easy way to advertise new information. Additionally, you may choose a customized brochure to share your story and products and a roll-up banner to outline your services. 

​At Signs A La Carte, your West Chester sign company, we take care of all your needs, whether you need a table runner, table throw, roll-up banner, fabric display, pop-up display, banner, or poster.
 
You can probably find what you need online, but what sets Signs A La Carte apart is that we talk to our clients to find out exactly what they want. For example, we select the right design size to fit the sign, and match the color requested as closely as possible using the Pantone book and a spectrophotometer. We also review the finished product to make sure there are no embarrassing misspellings or errors. 

Information to Include on Your Trade Show Display
 

• Your name
• Your business name
• Your logo
• Your business slogan
• Your website address
• Your physical address 

​Common Trade Show Signs
 
Table throws are sized to fit standard 6-foot and 8-foot tables. They’re available in full graphic prints with two styles to suit your needs. The open-back version has full-length front and side material with a shorter edge on the backside. The full-back version has full-length material on the front, back, and sides of the table.
 
Table runners with your name, business name, and logo are economical and available from 2 to 5 feet wide in full graphic prints. They come backless or full back.
 
A silverstep roll-up banner stand is designed to be durable, stylish, and reusable, and it’s perfect for any occasion. There are many sizes—between 6.5-9 feet tall and from 2-4 feet wide. If you want to change the graphic, simply order a new one. If you know you’ll never change the graphic on the roll-up banner, we offer a more economical roll-up banner option.
 
Mini A-frame or tabletop silversteps are light and portable, and they fit on every table or counter.

​As a full-service, custom sign company located in West Chester-PA-, Signs A La Carte answers many questions about window graphics, vehicle wraps, outdoor and indoor signs, and other types of signs. We’ve included a few of our most commonly asked questions below to give you a look into our process and what makes us different from other sign companies. 

Why do you ask so many questions about my sign before we talk about price? 
​

​It isn’t easy to provide a price right away because all of our signs are custom. The price of an interior or exterior sign varies depending on several criteria:
 

• The size of your design
• Adhesive letters vs. dimensional letters
• The height and thickness of the letters chosen
• The number of letters
• The sign material (acrylic, PVC, aluminum, wood...)
• The color of the sign
• The mounting method (double-sided tape, standoffs, stud with or without space, etc.)
• The location of the installation
• The design needs of your sign

 
Each of these parameters must be considered so we can provide an accurate quote. 

How much do you really need to know about my vehicle before you wrap it? 
​

Before processing your vehicle wrap, Signs A La Carte asks important questions about the type of vehicle you want to wrap (car, truck, trailer, plane, etc.). We can give you a quick estimate because we have thousands of templates with standard characteristics. However, we need to know the make, model, year, color, options, add-on equipment, and style of your vehicle first.
 
To optimize your message and increase brand awareness, Signs A La Carte discusses your goals to deliver the best solution that promotes your brand and generates business. We ask about your logo, website, tagline, offerings, phone number, photos, and more.
 
With this information, our designers will guide you through the design process, keeping your budget and your vehicle’s space limitations in mind. We can discuss various options including the vinyl color and finishes and the types of wrap that fit your budget.
 
These are a few types of wrap we offer:
 

• An economical, simple lettering on the side of the vehicle using colored vinyl
• A more complex lettering including a printed lettering and cut letters
• A half wrap that includes two full sides and the back of the vehicle
• A full wrap that covers four sides of the vehicle and might cover the windows and roof

Why is Signs A La Carte different from other companies? 
​

​

• We work with you to resolve any signage issues and help you make the best investment.
• We bring any issues to your attention before we print your graphics.
• We come to you for the estimate.
• We have many varieties of materials with different purposes to customize your signs, both interior and exterior. We can help you choose the most convenient option to promote your brand.

 

​Most of the time, we apply printed vinyl on a sign or vehicle. This is why our vinyl comes in the form of a quality adhesive that’s resistant to external elements like sun, rain, and wind. You have many color and finish options: matte, semi-gloss, gloss, brushed steel, carbon fiber, matte metallic, chrome, and even leather-like finishes.
 
Finally, our solvent-free printing process combines primary colors for a better-quality image. It allows us to reproduce images in solid color, high-resolution photographs, printing on various types of vinyl (transparent, block out) that we can apply on walls, windows, vehicles, acrylic, and PVC. Our prints come with a layer of film coating adapted to the material, if necessary, to guarantee incredible durability.
 
Do you have other questions we didn’t cover here? Signs A La Carte is a visual company that can work with you to create your custom sign. Give us a call and we’d be happy to answer your questions or get a project started for you!
 

​Recently, Signs A La Carte has replaced 14 sign faces on pylons. You might be wondering: Why would you need to replace your pylon sign face?
 
These are three of the most common reasons we encounter:

• You need to replace a faded or discolored face.
• You want to rebrand your business.
• You are taking over the old business name of a new facility.

 
All faces Signs A La Carte manufactures can be painted, digitally printed vinyl graphics, or flatbed printed . We can then insert them into your current lighted sign cabinet, so you don’t have to spend money purchasing a completely new business sign. Over the years, vinyl overlays, acrylic, and PVC have become better materials that are readily available. 

​Replacement of a Faded or Discolored Face
Sometimes the paint on your sign frame needs a refresh to restore its vibrancy. Over time, faces can become damaged by the weather. In Pennsylvania, our summers are hot and humid, and our winters are bitterly cold. Extreme weather causes the faces to crack, peel, and fade, and a white sign face can begin to look yellow.
 
Auto Haus worked with Signs A La Carte to renew their business appearance and give their sign an up-to-date look. Signs A La Carte removed the old faces of the pole sign and replaced them with two shiny new faces. 

The new sign is more readable, with clearly outlined letters and numbers. Colors, type, and font gave Auto Haus a more professional look.
 
Business Rebrand
Brandywine Med Spa asked Signs A La Carte to refurbish a sign that belonged to an old restaurant. We kept the octagonal shape of the sign, applying the doctor’s name, phone number, and business name.
 
With this type of pylon, if the sign isn’t illuminated, there’s likely a problem with the electricity or weather has damaged the bulbs. This is what happened with this customer. When our installer replaced the faces, he changed the bulbs, and now the illuminated sign works perfectly. 

​

​New Business Name
Signs A La Carte also replaced 10 faces for the same restaurant branch. The proprietor bought a group of closed restaurants and opened them again at his new branch: Olive Tree. In this case, the pole was in good shape, and Signs A La Carte was simply able to install new faces by changing the large decal vinyl printing on the pylon. 

​Are you ready to update your business’s sign? Let Signs A La Carte renew your pylon sign faces. Contact us at 484-464-0111 and we’ll help you with all your sign needs!
