Cedar wood, Plywood, Aluminum, HDU, MDO are used to fabricate Post and Panel Signs.
Styles of Post and Panel Signs Post and panel signs are available in a variety of styles and configurations, as well as a variety of price points depending on your budget. They can be personalized with decorative caps and poles and custom-shaped panels. While the most common material used for the poles in our area is wood, you can also have poles made from PVC or aluminum. If the customer doesn’t want paint on the post, we use cedar wood. It’s a natural moth repellent that’s also weather resistant. If the customer wants a post with a specific color, we’ll prime, sand, and paint the plywood. Between the pole, we install a face that’s usually made with three millimeter or six millimeter MAX-metal. This substrate is durable and works well in all types of weather. However, sometimes customers require higher-end materials for more permanent signs. In this case, we work on sandblasted wood that is more expensive, but will last for decades. Signs A La Carte can propose other substrates like high density urethane (HDU), plywood, and medium density overlay (MDO). Types of Sign Materials and Substrates HBU is insect- and rot-resistant. It’s also waterproof and unaffected by changing temperatures. Unlike cedar, HDU is readily available, stable, carves easily, and paints beautifully. It also looks just like wood when painted, only much lighter. Plywood is made with thin layers of wood, interspersed with layers of special paper. Since it’s not weather resistant, plywood will eventually rot after years of exposure. MDO is a cheaper solution. However, its lifespan is usually less than five years, and it deteriorates more quickly than other materials. Other Custom Solutions If you’re looking for a simple, yet decorative solution, or something a little fancier, we can carve the wood for long-term use. For temporary use, the most economic method is printing the graphics on high-performance vinyl and directly applying them on both sides of the substrate’s surface for maximum visibility. We can also create an appealing look by adding dimensional acrylic letters or logos to post and panel signs. Sometimes when a customer wants to change their sign, we inspect it and find that the poles aren’t damaged—they just need a good coat of paint. Even when poles are made with high-quality material, factors like weather and pollution can still deteriorate the sign. A coat of paint can work wonders. We Have Your Sign Needs Covered

It's interesting to know that decorative poles and caps can be personalized into the shape that you want. I can imagine how it would be a good option or custom signs that one might need for their business. It could definitely help them achieve the design they want that will match the theme they have for the establishment to attract potential customers more.

I like how MDO is a cheaper solution. It might not last long enough but that's okay. Maybe a temporary sign would do better.

My favorite part of this article is when you said that it is a wiser decision to buy more expensive and will last for decades. A couple of days ago, my sister told me that she and her friend are hoping to find custom business signs for their convenience store, and she asked if I had any idea what would be the best choice to do. Thanks to this informative article, I'll tell her that it will be much better if they consult a trusted sign company as they can provide more information about the sign designing procedure.

Thanks for sharing this. It makes a lot of sense. I knew the numbers didn’t work when I was given low quotes from several internet based companies.

I like that you talked about a cheaper solution which is the MDO and how it can last for five years. I can imagine new business owners choosing this material for the custom signs they might need for their pop-up branches to market their new brand. It will be perfect for them, especially when they have a limited capital for their business.

It's great that you elaborated on business signs and their different materials and substrates. Last week, I heard that my aunt's working hard on opening a retail shop, so I'm positive that she'd benefit from reading your information. I appreciate your advice on insect and rot-resistant materials for a sign.
