​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!  

​In a previous post, we answered some common questions we get asked as a full-service, custom sign company. Another question our customers ask: what does it mean when we say full service?
 
Signs A La Carte has a large printer that can print any type of vinyl and wallpaper we apply on various surfaces. Here is a list (not exhaustive) of the types of vinyl signs we can create.

Wall and Window Graphics
The printer uses primary colors to reproduce all pictures and designs for your project. The chart below represents the colors we can print. ​

Windows and walls are great surfaces for vinyl application—they are flat, and the space can be used to promote your name, your brand, your tagline, and your beautiful pictures. ​

Vehicle Wraps
​At Signs A La Carte, we discuss ways to maximize blank space on your vehicle with the message you want to convey. We provide four options for advertising on your vehicle:

​Prefer something removable? We create vehicle magnets! However, these magnetic stickers require extra care than vinyl wraps and must be regularly cleaned to prevent rust. ​

Monument and Dimensional Channel Letters
Maybe your business is in a business center and you want customers to recognize your business from a distance. You might need dimensional or illuminated letters. If your business center has no monument sign or pylon to indicate which businesses occupy the space, we can install a sign with your design. Signs A La Carte can also update your business name on the face of an existing monument sign or pylon. ​

Building Signs
Channel letters can help call attention to your building and business. We can also create other building signs to point to your location, including a post, sign rider, store front sign, and more. ​

Lobby and Interior Signs
When customers enter your building, their first impressions are key. Did they see your logo? The name on your desk? A directional sign? These little details are important for nice Lobby Sign and Interior Signs, and the Signs A La Carte team can help improve the visual experience for your customers. We can also create an ADA sign if needed. ​

​Signs A La Carte specializes in indoor and outdoor signs to showcase your business and attract more customers. Even if you don’t know exactly what you want, we can help! Just give us a call.
