FAQ

What is Acrylic, and why is it good for signage?

Acrylic is a clear cast polymer (polymethyl methacrylate) that’s lightweight, durable, and colorless. Plexiglas® is a well-known brand name—both terms refer to the same material.

What is the difference between Plexiglass and Acrylic?

There is no difference—they are the same material. Plexiglass is simply a popular brand name for acrylic.

Can I choose the thickness?

Yes. You can select either 1/8" or 1/4" thickness. The 1/4" option is the most commonly used.

What does "Install from Inside" mean?

This means printing on the back side of the acrylic so the design is viewed through the material, protecting the print from damage—like looking through a window.

I need my sign to be clear in some parts. What option do I select?

Choose "Spot White" to apply white ink only behind visible design areas, leaving other parts transparent. For fully solid designs, select "Flood White" for a complete white backing.

Can I drill holes in acrylic signs?

Yes, we handle drilling. Standard holes are 0.25" in diameter and placed 0.75" from the corners. For custom hole sizes or locations, use the "special cut" option and define them as cutlines in your file.

What is the largest size before it gets split into panels?

Acrylic sheets come in a maximum size of 96×48". Larger signs are divided into multiple panels for seamless installation.

How long do acrylic signs last?

With UV-cured inks and quality materials, acrylic signs typically last 5–10 years depending on exposure and care.

What are the ideal design file specs?

Vector files (.AI, .EPS, PDF) with outlined fonts and embedded images are best. For raster files (.JPG, .PNG), use at least 300 DPI at full size. Keep important design elements at least 0.25" from edges.
